Are Virtual Assistants the Secret to Boosting Your Business’s Customer Service?

by Adrienne GreenBusiness Growth, Client Relationship, Outsourcing, ProductivityPosted on Comments are Disabled

Today, we’re tackling a topic often clouded by misconceptions: How virtual assistants can improve your business’s customer service! We’ll discuss what customer service is, detail tasks that a VA can do, and dispel common myths along the way.

First, let’s all agree on what customer service is. It is the support and assistance a business provides to customers before, during, and after they purchase a product or service. activities aimed at addressing customer needs, resolving issues, and ensuring satisfaction. This includes answering inquiries, handling complaints, processing orders, providing guidance, and offering solutions to problems. Exceptional customer service is essential for building strong relationships with customers, fostering loyalty, and driving repeat business. It plays a crucial role in shaping the overall reputation and success of a business.

How can a virtual assistant help with customer service? They can answer inbound messages, such as calls, emails, online messages, and social media messages. They can answer client questions in this communication, schedule appointments, and accept payment, They can also complete outbound contact pre-emptively: status updates, check-ins, and reaching out to get client details. They can also post updates for a client in an online system if the company uses something like that. Another example of customer service is event outreach: they can reach out to customers, past and present, inviting them to an invite, or reminding those who’ve RSVP’d to attend!

Let’s dive into some common questions about hiring a virtual assistant for customer service! First, a question I get is: Do virtual assistants have accents that might impede effective customer communication? At Workergenix, many of our virtual assistants come from The Philippines, where English education starts as early as first grade. This means that there are many great potential VAs out there with little to no accent. Moreover, we’ve implemented a rigorous in-house English training program to address accents and help VAs sound more natural. So, while they may not be native to the US, their communication skills are top-notch.

Now, onto another misconception: Will using virtual assistants result in a decline in service quality? Contrary to popular belief, outsourcing customer service to virtual assistants often enhances service quality. With the affordability of virtual assistants, businesses can offer more comprehensive customer service, demonstrating a commitment to their clients’ needs. Many of our clients had no dedicated customer service employee prior to working with us, as the cost of hiring someone locally was prohibitive. Now, they’re able to have a highly-skilled, college-educated person dedicated to customer service. Isn’t that better than the business owner or another employee trying to do it in their free time?

Moving on, let’s address another concern: Are virtual assistants capable of handling complex customer inquiries? Absolutely. Our VAs have the experience and training to handle a wide range of customer issues efficiently, ensuring your customers receive the support they need. We recruit and hire for each opening, so we are searching for someone who’s skill set is a perfect fit for the client’s needs. Also, we only hire those with at least a bachelor’s degree. Moreover, our VAs have access to a wealth of resources and tools to assist them in resolving complex issues promptly. At Workergenix we have several corporate accounts our VAs can use, including a pro ChatGPT account. We’ve found that’s a great resource for helping problem-solve complete situations, and for crafting customer responses that are polite and well-written. Another resource they have is the Workergenix community. VAs can speak with each other, ask about problems they’re facing, and see if another VA has dealt with this in the past and has a solution. Our clients get the benefit of an entire community of VAs and the sum of their experiences!

Lastly, there’s a misconception that virtual assistants lack the personal touch of in-house customer service representatives. However, our VAs are trained to provide personalized and empathetic support to every customer, ensuring a positive experience with your brand. There is no reason for the customer to think that the VA is NOT an in-house customer service rep. We have had numerous situations where customers interact with the VA as if they are right in town, the customer doesn’t know the VA is elsewhere! Additionally, with advancements in technology, virtual assistants can now engage with customers through various channels, including phone, email, chat, and social media, providing a seamless and personalized experience across all touchpoints.

In conclusion, virtual assistants can be your ultimate customer service solution, offering expertise, affordability, and efficiency, while shattering common misconceptions along the way.

What Tech Do You Really Need for a Successful VA?

by Adrienne GreenBusiness Growth, Outsourcing, Productivity, Technology & AutomationPosted on Comments are Disabled

Today, we’re diving into how technology enhances the efficiency and productivity of Virtual Assistants (VAs). At Workergenix, we take care of the technicalities so you can focus on growing your business. Let’s explore the tech tools we provide and how they benefit our clients.

Workergenix offers a comprehensive suite of tech solutions designed specifically for VAs. Here’s what we provide:

  • Time Tracking: We have our own system to monitor and verify VA work hours since they are our employees. This ensures transparency and accuracy.
  • Task Management: We use Monday.com, a robust portal for managing tasks and projects.
  • Business Email Addresses: To maintain professionalism, we set up business emails for VAs, avoiding personal email usage.
  • Local VOIP Phone Number: VAs get local phone numbers, making communication seamless. Clients can easily reach the VA, and see them as a part of your local team.
  • Premium Tech Services: We provide access to premium accounts on platforms like Canva, CapCut, and ChatGPT.

With these tools, our clients don’t need to purchase or implement new technology systems to work with their VAs. However, some clients prefer to integrate VAs into their existing systems.

For instance, about 50% of our clients set up company-specific email accounts for their VAs, like . Some clients also add VAs to their pre-existing phone systems, integrating the VA into their communication networks.

This tech-focused approach that Workergenix provides is a game-changer compared to hiring a VA directly. When you hire a VA on your own, you face the challenge of managing international HR and learning how to handle an international virtual employee.

On the other hand, hiring a US-based employee, whether in-person or virtual, requires you to navigate US legal employment requirements and develop your own oversight systems.

With Workergenix, you avoid these hassles. We manage the HR, legalities, and tech solutions, allowing you to focus on what you do best – running your business. Our technology systems ensure that your VAs are not only integrated smoothly but also operate at peak efficiency.

Leveraging AI to Boost Virtual Assistant Efficiency and Creativity

by Adrienne GreenBusiness Growth, Outsourcing, Productivity, Technology & AutomationPosted on Comments are Disabled

In today’s rapidly evolving business landscape, entrepreneurs and business owners are constantly seeking innovative ways to optimize their operations and drive growth. One such avenue of innovation lies in the symbiotic relationship between Virtual Assistants (VAs) and Artificial Intelligence (AI). This dynamic duo is revolutionizing how tasks are accomplished, from streamlining administrative workflows to enhancing creative endeavors. In this post, we’ll explore how VAs harness AI tools like ChatGPT, CapCut, and advanced image creation platforms to work smarter, faster, and more creatively than ever before.

Unlocking Efficiency with AI-Powered Tools

VAs are leveraging AI-powered tools to streamline their workflow and maximize efficiency. ChatGPT, for instance, is a powerful AI-driven chatbot that assists VAs in handling customer inquiries, scheduling appointments, and even drafting emails with remarkable speed and accuracy. By automating routine tasks, VAs can focus their time and energy on high-value activities that drive business growth.

Enhancing Creativity through Video Editing and Image Creation

In addition to efficiency gains, AI technologies like CapCut and advanced image creation platforms are empowering VAs to unleash their creativity like never before. CapCut, a sophisticated video editing tool, enables VAs to produce professional-quality videos with ease, from promotional clips to engaging social media content. Similarly, AI-driven image creation platforms offer VAs the ability to generate custom visuals tailored to their clients’ branding requirements, eliminating the need for costly stock photos and graphic design services.

Human Touch: The Irreplaceable Element

While AI holds tremendous potential in augmenting the capabilities of VAs, it’s essential to recognize that it’s not a substitute for human intuition and expertise. Despite its impressive capabilities, AI still requires human oversight and fine-tuning to deliver optimal results. VAs play a crucial role in guiding AI-driven processes, providing context, and ensuring that outputs align with clients’ preferences and objectives.

Facilitating Collaboration and Feedback

Another key advantage of AI tools is their ability to facilitate collaboration and feedback within remote teams. VAs can use AI-powered platforms to brainstorm ideas, generate multiple versions of content titles, and review work with clients, enhancing communication and streamlining the feedback loop. This collaborative approach fosters greater synergy between VAs and their clients, leading to more effective outcomes.

Elevating Language Proficiency and Quality Assurance

Moreover, AI technologies can assist VAs in language proficiency and quality assurance tasks, particularly in areas like grammar and English proficiency. VAs equipped with AI-driven language tools can ensure that written content meets the highest standards of clarity, coherence, and correctness, enhancing the overall quality of client deliverables.

Embracing the Future of Business Support

In conclusion, the integration of AI into the workflow of VAs represents a paradigm shift in how business support services are delivered. By harnessing the power of AI-driven tools like ChatGPT, CapCut, and advanced image creation platforms, VAs can work more efficiently, creatively, and collaboratively, driving tangible results for their clients. However, it’s crucial to remember that AI is not a replacement for human expertise; rather, it’s a catalyst for innovation and productivity. As entrepreneurs and business owners embrace this symbiotic relationship between VAs and AI, they can unlock new opportunities for growth and success in an increasingly competitive marketplace.

Lead Scoring: Develop a lead scoring system that assigns values to each lead based on their characteristics and interactions with your brand. High-scoring leads are more likely to convert.

Lead Segmentation: Divide your leads into categories or segments based on their scores and characteristics. This segmentation helps you tailor your marketing and sales strategies.

Engagement and Nurturing: Engage with your leads through personalized content, emails, or phone calls. Nurture them with valuable information that addresses their specific needs.

Sales Handoff: When a lead reaches a predefined score or exhibits buying intent, it’s time to hand them over to your sales team for further qualification and conversion.

How Virtual Assistants Can Help

Virtual assistants (VAs) can be invaluable partners in your lead qualification efforts. Here’s how they can contribute to your success:

Skip The Stress; Hire A Virtual Property Manager Now!

by Adrienne GreenBusiness Growth, Outsourcing, Productivity, SalePosted on Comments are Disabled

Are you constantly stressed out because of all the repetitive, boring, and never-ending work in your real estate business? Tired of doing everything by yourself? 

A virtual property manager can help you with that!

Becoming an all-rounder is good but not great, especially when you are a real estate business owner doing short-term property rental. Not leveraging your time and energy as a business owner is not a wise move. You might think that you are saving in terms of payroll, but not hiring a virtual professional takes away your opportunity to earn more.

What is a virtual property manager?

A virtual property manager, also known as a remote property manager, is someone who is remotely responsible for taking care of the day-to-day operations of a rental property business. The responsibilities of a virtual property manager include the following:

  • Interacting with tenants online and by phone 
  • Handling lease renewals
  • Communicating with property owners 
  • Handling details when the tenant vacates
  • Contacting housekeepers
  • Online Shopping and Ordering
  • Scheduling repairs and maintenance
  • Designing advertisements and websites
  • Listing properties online
  • Basic bookkeeping including handling receipts

A huge part of being a Property Manager Virtual Professional (VP) requires a strong sense of attention to detail, a good amount of creativity,  an analytical mind, and versatility. Workergenix is a team of experienced and skillful Virtual Professionals specializing in lead generation, Social Media Marketing (SMM), Email Marketing, Content Writing, Video Editing, and Bookkeeping using Quickbooks. In fact, these VPs are also educated professionals in their own fields of study.

What is the best quality of a virtual property manager?

Since the job requires conversing and negotiating with tenants as well as service and maintenance people on a regular basis, making sure that the maintenance schedule is updated along with the legal requirements required,  a virtual property manager should be excellent in these areas:

  • Interpersonal skills 
  • Time and task management
  • Problem-solving
  • Property Maintenance

Why should you hire one?

We get it. Any business owner wants to cut overhead expenses as much as possible. Who does not want to? 

It would be great to maximize your finances by doing the work all by yourself. Yes, you have saved a lot of payroll expenses. You are a good business owner, but good is not wise!

While doing all the savings, you are actually missing out on a lot of things: energy, money, and time.

What’s in it for the business?

Being a business owner does not mean sipping cold pineapple juice along the summer beaches in the Maldives while wearing your Ray-Ban sunglasses. Contrary to what the public believes, you don’t actually own your time. Your business enslaves you most of the time!

Nobody made it big in business by being a Swiss knife – that is, a one-man show. You need a team of people who will run both technical and non-technical errands on your behalf. Here are some of the advantages of hiring a virtual property manager.

  • Leveraging your time
  • Leveraging your money
  • Leveraging your energy

Consider this. You are a 14-year-old lad with a lemonade business. Your estimated gross income for one lemonade stand is $100, given that you are the one doing the selling. Capital costs you $10. 

You plan to branch out to two other potential locations. Obviously, you only have one body. So you decide to hire two workers to man both lemonade branches, one for each. Hiring each worker costs $7. 

Your total overhead expense costs you $44. Your revenue is $300. That gives you a total net income of $256. 

By leveraging your time, money, and energy, you gained $166 on your original $90 net income. Not bad.

How can we help you?

Hiring a virtual property manager from a legit agency like Workergenix will go a long way toward helping you succeed in your real estate business. Workergenix’s goal is to deliver quality service by providing you with skilled virtual professionals best suited for your business.

For entrepreneurs or business owners, daily tasks can be challenging and it would always leads to struggling with not having enough time to spend with their family. That’s why admin assistance is important to every business when it comes to delegating tasks. People in the admin are the ones who will take those tasks off of your plate. 

Highly trained individuals are capable of handling and processing administrative tasks online for firms of all sizes. If you assign them the task, remote administrative assistants can also find errors in your paper. They might carry out market research to find crucial information that will aid in the creation of a new marketing strategy. An administrative assistant who works remotely can help with email management.

A remote administrative assistant team can handle blog management, order processing, and customer care issues.

Below are the most common tasks you can delegate to your admin staff.

Back Office Tasks

An admin assistant can be quite helpful when you launch a product and the customer processing starts. Processes including marketing, sales, customer service, and back-office administrative operations must be well coordinated. These capable individuals help with back-end issues and give the founders a lot of time back.

Market Research

The admin assistant performs thorough market research for you. He or she searches for articles and websites about the services you offer and prepares a list of the top businesses that would make good customers. They communicate with the businesses they intend to target by writing and sending letters. This results in a more efficient and effective selection process for you, which increases revenue.

Customer Service

You can get help with the order placement process from a qualified and experienced administrative assistant. They are competent to answer calls and handle customer service issues. These helpers step in when a fresh company receives a lot of orders and doesn’t even have the staff to fill them. They carefully plan every step of the procedure, from order entry to processing and delivery to the customer.

Email Management

One of the time-consuming jobs at work is responding to emails. Going through and sorting your inbox, on a daily basis, can take up to 7 to 8 hours of your time every day. Mail is typically split into three categories: “highly important,” “not that important,” and “spam. With an administrative assistant, you may spend more time on the important parts of your business, which can boost output.

Organized Documentation

A crowded mind is a more serious problem than a disorganized workspace. Google Drive is a disaster, too!

You may use them to manage numbers, make PowerPoint presentations, convert PDFs, and organize your Google Drive.

Accounting

If you want to make sure that your financial records are in order, you can hire a remote administrative assistant.

Take advantage of the comfort that comes from knowing that your funds are in capable hands.

Research

Everything you do in business must be supported by solid research. Whether you’re determining the competitiveness of the industry or building an email marketing list, research is crucial to your business operations. On the other hand, searching the Internet is a laborious and time-consuming process.

By having an administrative assistant do your daily research for you, you can eliminate this tension. In this approach, you can quickly employ the condensed findings of hours of investigation.

Personal Tasks

You’ll regularly have to travel as an entrepreneur to other cities or nations for business lunches, pitches, and other activities. If you might be working on a vital pitch, you wouldn’t want to spend too much time making travel arrangements.

Travel, reservations, and meetings can be handled by your virtual administrative assistant. Let them plan your travel and accommodations so you can focus on the crucial elements of your business.

Social Media Management
