Ok, so you’re interested in working together, but the thought of offloading all the relevant information to us so we can begin to help seems too much to handle.
DON’T WORRY! We’ve all been there! The next stage of the ‘Getting To Know One Another’ agenda, is through the use of a ‘The Discovery Call’.
What’s a discovery call I hear you ask?! ???? This can be as brief or as detailed as your wish, but ultimately it’s a chance for us to gain some understanding of your current situation, understand how your business runs and gauge how we can best provide resources to help.
A good place to start is by giving us an overview of where you started and how you got to where you are now. Side note; we understand that this may feel overwhelming. But let’s take a moment to step back and appreciate the process in which you have come to us. You’re busy! Which is brilliant! It’s a sign that you’re doing well. The fact of the matter is that you can’t do it all. That’s where we come in.
Next up, what are the immediate tasks you desperately need help with? These can be as big or small as you wish. Some of our clients want us to start with clearing their inboxes; we can all agree that 16,000 unread emails is a sight for sore eyes. This is a fantastic way for us to become familiar with how your business runs. Understand the average day, how it unfolds, the level of communication it requires and the core people who keep it ticking over.
The next subject to cover is business goals. What do you want to achieve? Are there any projects you want to expand on that have gone well for you in the past? How do you see your business in 5, then 10 years’ time?
Finally we can provide you with an overview of the various services we provide at MV Virtual Assistants. We can suggest some immediate resources that will be of great help to both you personally, and to your business. This roundup is also useful to understand a timeframe for how long you see us working together: is it intermediate arrangement? Longterm? Lastly, an idea of your monthly budget is useful so we can let you know of the various packages we offer.
And that’s about it. Simple as that. Feeling up for it?! Ready for a chat to see how we can start helping you to increase your productivity levels? Us too!!
