Dipping my toe into the four hour work week
Tuesday, January 29th, 2008I’ve been in touch with Your Man in India about getting a personal virtual assistant.
I’m going to experiment with having him/her handle tasks that keep me away from sales related activities, e.g.,
-personal calls to companies, vendors, etc.
-Following up with prospects that have visited my listings (following a simple script. I will handle the most important leads and any work that requires a real estate license)
-maintaining marketing reports
-maintaining my database….particularly bulk additions to the database
-market research
This is all to supplement my company-provided in-house team. I’ll keep you posted on how it goes.
A Four Hour Work week for commercial brokers?
Monday, January 21st, 2008I don’t know if overseas outsourcing is the panacea that Timothy Ferriss’s Four Hour Work Week makes it out to be…
I tried it with a project to build an owner database and was disappointed with the results.
I think a full or half-time commitment to a single overseas assistant could be the best bet as you could train the individual to meet your expectations and learn your business.
If you’re interested in trying this, a good place to start is Finn Johnson’s RE Back Office. Finn comes from a commercial real estate background so he understands our needs. He can offer the overseas assistant solution you might be seeking.
