Top Tasks Wholesalers Should Outsource
As a wholesaler, you have plenty of things you have to do. Becoming super productive is vital, but you don't have to do everything. There are some ways to get help, and outsourcing specific tasks can certainly make you more productive.
Before you start outsourcing, you will need to find a good virtual assistant. With a good virtual assistant, you can outsource multiple tasks to the same person instead of finding someone for each task. Check Fiverr.com, Freelancer.com and Upwork.com for good virtual assistants.
Tasks You can Outsource
There are several tasks a virtual assistant can handle for you including:
Social Media Posting and Marketing
Database Management
Website Design
List Scraping/Cleaning
Cold Calling
And More!
You can also use your virtual assistant to organize your email, and for many other tasks. Let's take a look at how you can outsource some of the main tasks and become more productive.
Social Media Posting and Marketing
You can use your virtual assistant to handle posts and marketing on social media for you. In fact, some VAs specialize in social media. It could be something that takes up an hour of your time every day or just every week, but outsourcing this task means more time in your day and the ability to do more through social media channels.
Database Management
Virtual assistants are great for database projects. Whether you need a list of potential sellers built or you need a list reorganized, your VA can handle these tasks.
Website Design
You don't need to spend thousands on a professional website designer with the right VA. Many can handle web design projects including creating graphics and content.
List Scraping/Cleaning
Your VA has the ability to go through FSBO.com, Craigslist and other sites to create lists for you through list scraping. They can even handle cold calling to help find sellers for you. Just make sure the VA you choose for phone tasks has great phone etiquette and speaks fluent English.
A good VA can even help to qualify your buyers and ensure your list is up-to-date. This will save you time as you will always know you have an active list of buyers for each of your deals.
Outsourcing may seem scary, at first. However, when you find the right VA or a couple of good VAs you won't have as much fear. Make sure you interview your VA options and speak to them on the phone, if they will be doing any phone work for you. With the right virtual assistants, you can outsource many tasks, gain time and become more productive as a wholesaler.
