Are you interacting with your Facebook friends like you
should? Are you letting friends just sit there without
reaching out and connecting? If you aren’t, your not alone.
Most Facebook users don’t spend enough time interacting with
their friends, fans or group members enough. When you neglect
reaching out and networking, your profile and everyone that’s
a part of it becomes a superficial and two dimensional social
friendships.

Networking takes time, but that is how the strength of Facebook
comes to light. This is where outsourcing your social networking
tasks can help. I know that you are too busy to constantly stay
in touch with your friends, but if you neglect this powerful
marketing tool your missing out on what big companies already
know…networking with real people builds trust and sales on the
Internet. Outsourced reps trained in social networking can give
you the relief you need to stay on top of busy tasks like this.

Are you already paying for social networking duties from an in
house employee or virtual assistant? Add up the costs and see how
much outsourcing can save you. Virtual assistants trained in
Internet marketing can cost a small fortune, but you can’t deny
the power of having an online presence and spreading the message
of your business or service. Outsourcing helps grow your business
globally for as little as $5.00 an hour and you only pay for
what you need. This is the kind of partnership your company cannot
do without.

Taking your Facebook interactivity to the next level will create
the results you need for big strides in sales, opt-ins or customer
service. Imagine the money you could be saving with Internet trained
overseas reps. No matter how the Internet changes, interacting
with your prospects is here to stay. This has been a staple of
business forever…the Internet is finally catching up. Are you
going to be apart of it?

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.

Virtual assistants are everywhere these days. It is
one of the fastest growing sectors of online
business help. Why are there so many virtual
assistants all of a sudden? With the complexities
of running a business online and balancing billing,
call center staffing and inventory control a small
company can get overwhelmed. A specialized labor
force can help ease these tasks. But how much
does a virtual assistant cost?

There are various types of virtual assistants and
various types of fees. Administrative assistants
can handle tasks such as word processing, document
creation, billing services and scheduling. An a
assistant like this can cost $15 – $30 a hour.
“Web savvy” assistants can help with your
Internet marketing duties such as social networking,
blogging, and ecommerce. This kind od assistant
can cost you $20 – $40 an hour. Then lastly
there is a business manager assistant. They can
handle tasks such as website design, creating business
plans and event and trade show representation. This
assistant can cost you $25 – $50 a hour and up!

But what if there was an overseas outsourcing firm
that could do a majority of these tasks for as
little as $5.00? What would this mean to your
business and your bottom line? Think of the costs
you would save your business and the productivity
you could increase with a program like that. Virtual
assistants are popular. They are there not just to
get a job done, but to help you grow your business.
Internet savvy outsourcing will create a partnership
with you to make your business successful for a
fourth of the cost of employing a domestic assistant.

In the past, there may not have been overseas
outsourcing reps trained in Internet marketing.
There may not have even been the need. But it is a
whole new ballgame now. Find out how Internet savvy
outsourced reps can take your business to the next level.

I know this is probably a difficult time in the economy
to talk about growing or expanding your business. But
opportunities abound that may make it the perfect time
to invest in yourself. In a tough economy, businesses
that are below par in their streamlining and customer
service will be weeded out. This leaves an open
opportunity to grab market share for companies that
can find ways to cut costs, offer additional services
and find new avenues of exposure.

Outsourcing can offer all of these economy busting
strategies that your business will need to stay on
top of your competition. This is the perfect time to
look at offering additional services to your clients.
As your competition reduces services because of the
weakened economy, you can use an outsourcing firm to
expand your offerings for a very limited amount of
investment. This is also the perfect time to start
expanding your company’s image and exposure to the
world by utilizing the Internet. Social media, video
marketing and Internet advertising can give your
company the boost it needs to attract new customers
and increase brand awareness. The right outsourcing
firm can help partner with your needs and grow your
brand beyond anything you have had access to for as
little as $5.00 an hour.

If you could cut costs by half, double your productivity
and create new channels of exposure to the world,
what could that mean for your business? Wouldn’t
that create new opportunities for growth? This is
not the time for cutting back on services. This is
the time to step up your company image and offer
your customers the quality services that they
have come to expect. Outsourcing, more than ever, is
the solution to staying afloat in a weakened economy.
When you start to research outsourcing solutions,
you’ll see it is the only viable answer to your needs.

We’ve discussed a lot of issues in regard to how outsourcing
can save your business money. Reducing labor costs and
increasing productivity is just a start. But today, I would
like to address cultural issues of working with a particular
country when searching for potential overseas reps. India,
Asia and even Africa have gotten into the outsourcing game
as it becomes easier for these countries to access the Internet
and local communication and infrastructure improves. But that
is not the final picture when working with outsourced reps.

Cultures vary greatly in emerging markets such as Asia. It may
be difficult to research just what kinds of work ethics,
holidays and marketing understanding a particular culture may
have. It is best and easiest on you to work with a culture
that is as similar to an American society as it can get.
The Phillipines has a structure very similar to the US in
terms of their government, work ethics and technological
understanding. Many workers in the Phillipines speak
English quite fluently and have visited the US or may have
even gone to school here. They are familiar with the American
way of doing things and many companies emulate the US vision
of commerce.

Some cultures are so different from ours that a number of
problems can arise for an American company looking to
outsource. Communication can be very touchy in places such
as Asia where it may be easy to offend one of your reps.
Ways to communicate in the US would not fly in many Asian
cultures and who wants to offend their workers? Researching
these differences could take forever. Other factors such as
religious practices, the threat of terrorism and even privacy
laws and the court systems can create a major headache for
businesses interested in outsourcing.  Business conduct,
greetings, forms of address, gestures, value systems and
punctuality vary widely around the globe. Choosing a culture
that may be more familiar to our way of life will create a
easier situation when it’s time to make your decision.

The Internet is changing everyday…and fast! It’s hard
to keep up with all the changes that take place daily that
could benefit your business online. Recent changes include
what is called “social media.” This is the new power of the
Internet and it can deliver the messege of your business
more quickly and completely than typical media outlets of the
past. And with this new media is the opportunity to create a
presence online with lightening speed with virtually no cost.
The costs relative to social media are the training and
labor to implement the tasks. Outsourcing then becomes the
perfect solution.

Consider these costs. Online video can put your business in
front of the eyes of millions of potential prospects for
almost nothing. Video hosting on YouTube, Facebook and
other social sites is free. How much would you spend in
print ads to get the same exposure? The training to learn
to execute these tasks properly can be expensive. But what
if an outsourced rep already had these skills? And since
this social media can be accessed through the Internet,
any employee with a computer could get the job done. Why
pay for expensive American labor when an outsourced rep
can do the same work for half the price?

Half a billion people are part of some social network or
another. They access these sites everyday. They search for
information, build relationships and partake in online
commerce to the tune of over $200 billion a year. Is your
business a part of this growing trend? If not, you may be
left far behind. Outsourcing with Internet savvy assistants
can help skyrocket the sales of your business. You need to
find any and every avenue available to compete in this
tough economy. And you need to save money doing it.

Demystify this online process by hiring an overseas rep
trained in social media. Use the power of videos, MP3′s,
blogging and relationship building to grow your company
image and take advantage of the Internet as a worldwide
marketing tool. Ecommerce is the future. You need to be
a part of it. Help is available to make your business the
best it can be, you just have to know where to look.

Outsourcing is a great way to utilize social media
to build a database of potential customers. By using
the power of video marketing, Twittering and blogging
you can build a list of prospects in quick order. The
Internet gurus and millionaires say that “your list
is gold,” meaning that a database of targeted prospects
can be marketed to over and over, sending them new
product launches and email campaigns. Your customers
may not be ready to buy when they visit your site for the
first time, but capturing their email addresses means
you can build brand loyalty, keep your image fresh in
their minds and market to them when they are ready to
buy.

An Internet savvy and knowledgable outsourcing rep firm
not only saves you a lot of money in labor costs, but
uses free social media sites to funnel visitors to an
opt-in page where the prospect fills out a “name and
email” form for freebies or additional information. This
technique works efficiently to capture emails and the
chance to market your products and services over an
extended period of time. I’m sure that each and every
one of us has signed up for a free ebook or white paper
giving us valuable info on our topic of interest.
A database is the #1 marketing tool for successful
Internet businesses.

An outsourcing rep or virtual assistant can create
profiles on sites such as Twitter or Facebook, upload
powerful videos to popular sites like Youtube and create
opt-in pages that generate targeted traffic. This traffic
clicks on the links that are embedded in the pages and
are encouraged to sign up for a variety of free info
products. Does your outsourcing firm provide this kind
of service? If they don’t, you are missing out on the
most powerful conversion tool on the Internet. Without
a list, you have no one to market to. Visitors to your
website who are not yet ready to buy will disappear,
never to be seen again. Don’t let this happen to your
business. Hire a outsourcing firm that not only saves
you money, but builds your business like a partnership.

The way to creating real wealth with an affiliate program
lies in a great word of mouth campaign and making sure the
commission is large enough to validate the work involved.
Just because someone else spent the time creating a great
program, doesn’t mean that the promotion will be easy.
It can take a lot of work to get the word out, create an
online presence to sell it and find the right targeted
prospects to market it to. Make sure that the commission
is large enough to justify your promotion efforts. The
number one reason big Internet gurus refuse to take on
an otherwise fascinating affiliate program is that the
commission doesn’t justify the work involved. Take note
of that when you shop for an affiliate program to sell.

There are thousands of affiliate products to choose from
when you finally start looking. Everything from ebooks,
dating memberships, jewelry and cruise ship vacations.
But these commissions are usually very small and the
sales too far apart to make real money. You want to look
for a substantial sales commission (30% or higher) and
recurring billing. Recurring billing creates wealth
faster because you only recommend the product once, and
the commissions come in each month. Pick a product or
service that customers don’t want to give up using. A
service that increases their productivity and saves
their business money. Outsourcing is that kind of
service.

A good outsourcing affiliate program can provide a
service that a customer really needs, has a two tier
commission structure and recurring income. Additionally,
you can use the money you make to use the outsourcing
service yourself. You’ll save money by cutting costs
and the service won’t cost you a dime. When it’s time
to start promoting an affiliate program for yourself,
don’t waste time messing with the small stuff. Your time
is far to valuable for that. Choose outsourcing as a
wealth building tool and create an online empire for
you and your family.

Video marketing is the most effective way to promote your products
and services on the Internet. Prospective clients get a chance to see
you in person and see your products in action. Video testimonials from
your satisfied customers are a great way to show how your products
can help any industry and make you the expert. Video taping your industry
seminars will give a chance for future clients to see how your services and
solutions will change the way they do business. With this tough economic
outlook, your customers will need as much information as they can get
before they commit to spending their long term capital investments with
you.

Video not only answers the solutions to giving your clients information,
you can use the power of video to get great search engine positioning
for your online marketing. Google now specifically uses video and other
multimedia types to give their searchers as much well rounded content
as they can deliver. This means they actively search for video to deliver
certain information. Where is your video presence for your company on
the Internet? Do you know how easy it can be to create an online viral
marketing campaign using the power of simple videos?

I know. You are thinking that video is too complicated and too expensive
to consider. But this is no longer the case. The mechanics of video production
has lowered the learning curve almost overnight. For a couple of hundred
dollars you could be producing effective videos to promote your business.
But the real power of video shines through in it’s ability to market itself
virally.

What this means for you is that one video can be distributed across
the Internet in very short order. And lucky for you, this is a process that be
easily outsourced. Processing, uploading and distributing your videos can
be time consuming for you, but an outsourcing solution can increase your
Internet visibility for as little as $5.00 ann hour. How? By using an
outsourcing company that is trained in video marketing. It is such a simple
concept, but one underutilized by most outsourcing firms. But a new breed
of outsourcing firms are emerging. Ones that can take your business to the
next level if you know where to look. How about starting right here…
