Over 95% of our industry as I’ve stated before is a one person business. That mean doing all things from speaking with clients, providing estimates, handling marketing and doing the work. A major key that’s missing in these businesses is the data collection. If you don’t have clear data, and insight into your numbers it’s impossible to grow your business. You’re making decisions based on feelings, not facts. Along with giving you back your time, I firmly believe one of the greatest first hires is a virtual assistant. Handy’s made this hire on day 1, knowing the strength of their skills. From answering phones, collecting deposits, managing schedules, following up with past clients, keeping things organized they can also be efficient in data collection to give you clarity on the decisions you make when growing. This position you can find for $5-7USD/hr Who is currently using one in their business?
