Outsourcing: Internet Savvy Reps

Saturday, November 7th, 2009

Here are just a few of the things you can have an internet savvy outsourcing rep help you with:

Press Release Writing & Submissions

A good press release can get you newspaper, radio and television interviews. It can also get you free online publicity and links. If the VA is also a writer you can have her write and submit the press releases. Every time something new or exciting happens with your business have your virtual assistant prepare a press release

Autoresponder Setup & Maintenance

If you have an online business then having an autoresponder is pretty much a necessity. An outsourced rep who specializes in internet marketing should have the skills and knowledge to set up your autoresponder system. This includes the setup of your opt-in forms as well as plugging in all the messages you’ll want to go out to your list.

Article Writing & Submissions

Article Marketing is an excellent way to get quality links and traffic to your website, not to mention it presents you as an expert in your industry. Again, if the outsourcing rep you work with writes articles, have them write and submit 1 to 2 articles per week.  If you make this into a routine task, in a short time you’ll see a steady flow of targeted traffic to your site.

Web Directory Submissions

Don’t’ confuse this with ‘Search Engine Submissions’. You should never pay someone to submit your site to the search engines because there is just no need to. The search engines will find you!

Submitting to website directories on the other hand can help you gain better rankings in the search engines. Some virtual assistants will have a list of directories to submit to. All you need to do is provide the sites you’d like submitted and the assistant can do the rest.

How much time have you got to stay in touch on this level?

For as little as $5.00 an hour, you can have a rep working for your company that can do the critical research required to stay on top of changes. Here are some things you may have missed:

* Ebay no longer allows selling of digital products. Are there any alternatives?

* There are over 10,000 social networking sites. You need to be on at least 10. Which ones are a waste of time?

* There is a search engine that has taken over Yahoo as the second most used engine except Google. Do you know what it is?

These are just a few of the things you need to know to stay on top of the Internet marketing game. Research will bring results. Outsource your research tasks and stay on your game!

can give your website not only targeted traffic, but a boost in search engine rankings. Using the power of big networking sites, you can easily get a social profile to the top of a search engine page long before you could get a major company website to the top.

Outsourcing is the solution to this part of your Internet marketing strategies. For as little as $5.00 an hour, reps can create and manage all of your social networking needs.

Predictive Dialing Increases Efficiency

Tuesday, September 8th, 2009

123Employee is introducing a call center software tool that will change the way you outsource your telemarketing tasks. Predictive dialing is an auto dialing system that can benefit any telemarketing client or prospect interested in telemarketing services and getting the most from their outsourcing needs.

– This tool can increase response by 30 times due to increased
productivity.

– No more agent fatigue from dialing.

– Automation keeps the agent focused on the message.

Predictive dialing works by an agent sitting at a desk and loading up a list of clients. A full list can include names as well as numbers. The agent hits “Go” and our system starts dialing. When the rep hears the client answer the phone, the rep immediately addresses the client: “Hello, Mr Smith..” and pitches the message. This is an effective way to keep call center messages flowing in an efficient manner.

Imagine the increased productivity your rep can get when dialing a large amount of phone numbers becomes automatic. This saves a tremendous amount of time over dialing each client one at a time. The rep can easily stay alert and focused by letting the automation do the manual work.

Increased telemarketing productivity is directly linked to increased revenue. Manual dialing time can eat up valuable
resources. This fantastic tool will give your outsourced rep the freedom they need to stay on top of their game. Is your business ready to step up to the next wave of automation? Contact your 123Employee representative now to find out how your company can benefit from predictive dialing technology.
