6 Criteria for Contracting a Virtual Assistant
When a company wants to merge with another firm, they should have a written contract which both parties need to sign. These agreements should be drafted by a business lawyer who should guide the firms during the process. Business law covers a wide branch of knowledge across a variety of disciplines.
Business law covers all aspects of trade from the registration of a business to hiring employees and selling goods across the globe. A business may need a lawyer to help with the relevant terms of agreement and sales and present them to the other parties. When a company wants to bid for tender or have a project, the lawyer needs to come up with various proposals to present to the other parties. At times, disputes arise and when there was no binding agreement, the business suffers a huge loss.(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});
The holiday season is here and it is consequently peak season for most retailers. This is a period that you need take into account, literally and figuratively. You have stocked up on the popular retail products and gift ideas to meet the demand so now you need to get them to the customers.
Here are a few tips on how to sell your retail products during this peak season.
Design a captivating advert. Decide on which products you want to sell and create an advert highlighting the different products. Don't put plenty of products on one advert. Choose one product which has the main feature on it and design a fun concept around the product that is eye catching. Ask your staff to get involved. This will make them feel more valued and will motivate them to sell your products. If you have an advert filled will a dozen products, your customer will lose the focus of the advert and will just glimpse past it. You need to grab their attention within a second. If you have plenty products, then rather design an advert for the main product in each category. This will draw your customer into the store, then they'll see your other range and purchase more than just what they came in to the retail store for. You could also find out from your wholesaler if they have designed any adverts that you can adapt for your use.(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});
Virtual assistants are independent contractors. Period. They are not employees, they are not "hires." Got it? OK.. let's move forward.
Choosing to contract with an independent contractor in the form of a virtual assistant, administrative consultant, online business manager, or any of the myriad of similarly titled professionals, can make a big difference in your business. Having someone who is qualified with an outside point of view can give insight and expertise that can get a new company back on the right track to being successful, while maintaining workflow throughout any transition. If that is a path you are planning on heading down, you need to make sure you contract the right person.
When contracting a virtual assistant, you should go through the same process and have mostly the same criteria as when you are hiring a full time (or part time) traditional employee. If the person you're going to potentially contract with doesn't have a proven track record and the required experience, they will be a drain on your resources - both financially and mentally.
