As a Business Owner, Are You Doing it All?

Does this sound familiar?

You’ve started a coaching business that is beginning to take up speed, and you’re gaining clients. You successfully coach your various clients throughout the week, and as you’re finishing up with one client on a Tuesday morning, you get a desperate text from another client.

She can’t find the needed materials that you said you sent her. You finish up with the original client, send off the materials and take a quick coffee break…and as you sit down with a hot cup of coffee in your hands, you open up your inbox and cringe at various emails that are yelling for your attention.

Your breathing is becoming short and shallow.

There is an email request for you to speak at a business convention that you’d love to be part of but the response deadline is coming up super soon. You have to write up a solid proposal in 3 days.

3 days.

You see 2 failed payments from a client and a double-booked client that needs your attention. You also have a potential client ask about a broken link in your email…that you thought you fixed and you have a series of 5 emails that you have to write, create them and send it out in a drip campaign.

You don’t fully understand how to use all the features in Infusionsoft and you’re kicking yourself for investing in it which you haven’t really used yet. Hmmm…with the conference coming up, it would be awesome to sign up some affiliates at the conference…but does Infusionsoft have an affiliate system? And how do affiliate links work?

The coffee has become cold, and your anxiety is back. People and tasks are falling through the cracks. You’re losing business and your mind.

And it’s not even noon.

You are stressed.

I get it.

Here’s where I come in… As an Infusionsoft virtual assistant I work side by side (virtually) with my clients to get the admin tasks done. From my experience, most entrepreneurs are idea people. Their gifts are creating programs and services on a grand scale. Business owners shouldn’t be handling the small admin tasks but often do. There just aren’t enough hours in the day.

Let’s revisit the scenario: You complete your coaching call and don’t even have another client text you because the information was already sent out. As a Virtual Assistant, I can send a quick, friendly letter informing a client that there was a missed payment and get new credit card information through a secure web form.

Easy peasy.

You send off the written email copy to me where I can create the emails, put them into a nurture campaign and schedule the emails to go out every 2 days. I manage your customer support inbox so you don’t see the various easy emails that I handle unless I bring them to your attention in our weekly meeting. You hand off necessary tasks that relieves you to nurture your business clients like you wanted to do all along. Coaching is your passion.

We set up an affiliate program so when you attend the conference, you can find fellow coaches that will receive a 50% commission fee on a premium coaching program that their clients buy from you. And you might even pick up 1 or 2 clients at the event.

In a few months, as you’re looking out the window of the plane bound for the San Diego business coaches’ convention, you exhale a slow, steady breath, and click through the coming sessions at the conference in your mind. You know that people and tasks are well taken care of while you’re gone, that I will send you only necessary emails and you can now review your opening speech with a hot cup of coffee in your hand.

Success.
