Project Description:
I am looking for a trial run with a Virtual Assistant (VA).
I run a home-based business (www.smallworldhealth.ca) and want a VA to help me generate two types of leads;
type 1 - people who want to start a home based business (promoters)
type 2 - people who want to lose weight through our product (customers)
This is going to be a very challenging task for the VA as this is quite a saturated marketplace. Having said that, the VA should be willing to;
a) research online methods of capturing leads for free or cheap (build a list)
b) create a database of names of potential customers and promoters (names, locations, phone number, email address)
c) get creative! use creative ways to capture the new customers
the VA is expected to have the following;
i) excellent ability to read, write, and speak english (all customers will be in the USA and Canada)
ii) strong internet and online marketing background (prove this in your bid)
iii) attention to detail (I am tough to work for, so don't bid unless you're going to pay attention to my requests and provide results)
iv) customer service background (you will be required to get a hold of potential customers, so you must have a good experience with customer service and sales)
Time Expected;
20 hours/month x $5 hour = $100
Bonuses:
sign up of a customer = $10 bonus
sign up of a promoter (on a $500 ESS system) = $50 bonus
This is going to be a 1 month trial run for the VA. If the VA can perform the task EFFICIENTLY and PROPERLY, with results, then they will be hired at a more steady full-time pace. (I have a list of about 30 things I need to outsource to a VA, so there is potential to make a lot of money)
THE BIGGEST THING FOR ME IS RESULTS. I DON'T CARE ABOUT HOURS WASTED RESEARCHING, I ONLY CARE ABOUT RESULTS (I.E. CUSTOMER SIGNUPS AND PROMOTER SIGN UPS)
