Ongoing Monthly Retainer Support

"How does it work?"

When you work with me we are working together in an ongoing, collaborative partnership, just as you would with an onsite assistant.  The difference is that I am an independent contractor, not an employee, and I am a business owner too so I understand a lot of the pressures you're feeling!

By working together over the long-term I get to know you and your business, and you have continuous administrative support giving you the space and time you need to grow your business.

I work only on a retainer basis with clients.  This is the optimum way for us to work together as:

• It allows you and I to get to know one another.

• You have continuous business support throughout the month which will then give you the time and space to focus on growing your business.

• The commitment of hours each month allows us both to get more done, work more efficiently, and achieve better results for you and your business!

 

"What are the Retainer Packages?"

I offer three different Retainer Packages:

• Level 1 - up to 10 hours per month.  This is the level of support I usually start on, as this provides the basic level of support you need if you are to grow your business.

• Level 2 - up to 15 hours per month

• Level 3 - up to 20 hours per month

More information about my Retainer Packages and services are provided during the complimentary Client Consultation.

 

"What is an Online Business Manager?"

You may be familiar with the term 'Virtual Assistant' and know that this is an administrative support person.  But I provide more than just administrative support to my clients - I have become their online business manager!

Through working with you on an ongoing collaborative basis, I am able to:

• foresee your needs and plan accordingly

• offer advice and guidance on new technologies and systems to streamline your business

• implement web-based technologies to facilitate online business growth through products, services, and audio products

• seek out marketing opportunities and joint ventures that will increase your profits and grow your list

• make best use of your time by taking over those administrative tasks that are huge time drains

In short, by partnering with me on an ongoing collaborative basis I can not only create an efficient and organized business for you, but a profitable one too!

"This sounds great Tracey, but I don’t have the budget for an online business manager/virtual assistant."

Working with an online business manager/virtual assistant is not just another expense line to be added to your budget but rather an investment in your business.  By partnering with me you will free up much-needed and valuable time so that you can grow your business...

More Time To Devote To Your Income Generating Activities

You are a speaker and your goal for this year is to secure two more speaking gigs per month.  How are you going to achieve this?  You are already maxed out on time; after all you’re having to spend evenings and weekends on administrative tasks!  How are you going to find the time to physically do those extra two speaking gigs per month, let alone contact the venues and make arrangements?

 

Focus On Your Expertise And Work With More Clients

You are a coach and your goal for this year is to work with three extra clients per month.  At the moment you are finding it difficult to manage the clients you already have.  Scheduling appointments takes up a lot of your time, not to mention all the administrative work involved with each client, such as keeping a track of where they are in their coaching program, billing, etc.  And this is just the time spent on client administration.  What about all those other tasks such as sending out your newsletter, promoting your products etc?  How much time does all that take?

 

Think about how much of your time is being spent on administrative tasks (or, better still, keep a diary for week).  Include all those evenings and weekends too!  At the end of the week total up that time.  How much time are you spending on administrative tasks? 

If you didn’t have to do your own administrative jobs would that give you enough time to plan, prepare and speak at that those two extra gigs per month?  Or work with those three extra clients per month?  What would it mean to your bottom line?

By passing all of your administrative tasks over to me, you can achieve your goal of two extra speaking gigs per month or working with three extra clients per month, and increase your bottom line!

Generate Passive Streams Of Income

You are a coach and your goal for this year is to create multiple streams of income for your business.  You already have the products, but you don't know the first thing about promoting them or accepting online orders!  How do you set up a shopping cart?  How do you market your products to your target market?

 

My role as your Online Business Manager would be to source, set up, and maintain the best online solution for your needs.  I would manage your shopping cart, your autoresponders, your ezine.  I would be continually researching and advising on new places for you to promote your products and services.  I would work with you to grow your subscriber list!

I would also take over all those administrative tasks that are taking you away from what you do best.  And we would manage all of this through a 'virtual office'.

"What type of clients do you work with?"

I work with coaches, professional speakers, and online service professionals who are looking to develop, or have started to develop, a multiple streams of income business. 

My specialty is providing online marketing support through working with shopping carts, autoresponders, and ezine uploading and broadcasting.

My clients are looking to develop a long-term partnership with a virtual assistant.  They fully understand the value of partnering with a virtual assistant and what it can bring to their business.

"Okay Tracey.  You’ve convinced me that I need to partner with you in order to grow my business.  What do I do now?"

Great!  The next step is for you to schedule your complimentary Client Consultation.  We will discuss your goals and look at those areas that are draining your time.  Together we will come up with a plan for growing your business!

"How does your Client Consultation work?"

We arrange a 30-minute telephone call during which time we discuss the areas where you need support, your goals, and how my services can enhance your business.  I will send you a brief questionnaire for you to complete and return to me prior to our call.  That's it!

Contact me to schedule your complimentary Client Consultation and I will show you how EASY it is to delegate your administrative tasks and reclaim your evenings and weekends!

I look forward to hearing from you soon!
