As solopreneur building a location independent business, you’ve got literally hundreds of important decisions you have to make every single day. And, every day counts. It’s not easy to live a Four Hour Work Week life. How do you make your small business look big? How do you scale your business?
Focus. That’s what you need. Focus on finishing the most important things first.
What don’t you need? I’ll tell you what. Customer service calls and emails. How can you build your multimillion dollar empire if you keep on having to answer calls and emails from your customers all through out the day?
You have got to scale, my friend. “Work on your business, not in it” as the saying goes. Anyone who runs a business knows that the biggest time vampire is customer service. Not only does customer service consume your time, it consumes your valuable mental and emotional energy as well. I say slay it!
What’s call center sharing? This concept means pooling together the call center needs of different clients so they can be offered at a much more affordable cost. Sometimes, what you need is just someone to answer the phone and emails once in a while.
Hiring a full-time or part time Virtual Assistant or VA can be too expensive to justify the cost when you’re just starting out. To hire a VA worth his salt in India or Philippines, you’ll have to pay them usually around $6 – $15 an hour.
But if all you need is someone pick up the phone once in a while and make your whole operation seems a lot more professional, it makes more sense just to pool together with other people who need the same service.
All you have to do is to subscribe to a plan that is equivalent to a certain amount of calls and emails answered. Anything beyond this is pay-as-you go. Pay-as-you-go means you’ll only have to pay for the work we will do after the plan you subscribe to. For example, you will be billed per call we answer or email they respond to.
