How are you from the last time you read my blog?

If you are new, welcome to my blog!

Today, I am going to talk about how easy it is to work with me, and the benefits of doing so in having me in the backend of your business. As an entrepreneur, there are certain stages and criteria that should be taken into consideration when one wants to work with a prospective company or individual online.

Know more about JordanPicks history.

The first thing I will do is a welcome of coming to do business with me. My company name is Global Virtual Services and JordanPicks is a subcategory of this company that offers virtual assisting services to LadyPreneurs and Fashionistas in business.

What this really means because Global Virtual Services will expand in the future to offer other services other than virtual assisting this is why the JordanPicks is not the company name. Now that I have done some house cleaning the first step for you is how to get in contact with me.

Want to know how to work with JordanPicks?

If you are visiting from my website the contact form is normally the best way to get in contact with me. This is done by filling out a form with your name, the support that you need and your email address. I normally reply within 24 hours between 10:00 am- 3:00 pm. If it’s outside of those hours or on a weekend this will be for the next business day.

Another way is if you have been visiting from my social business pages such as Facebook Twitter Instagram or Linkedin, the best way to contact me is making a 15 minutes consultation with me through my booking platform HERE there are a list of available dates that allows you to choose which time will be best suited for you to do a consultation with me.

When you have selected the available time that works best for you, I also ask you to provide some details such as your name, Skype ID and email address.

Once this have been confirmed, a message is sent to your email address, informing you of the details as well as a short survey that you are to fill out and complete ahead of our Consultation

My recommended tools that I use and how I can assist you today!

For the day of the consultation call, I will be a bit familiar with what you need assistance with. I will then ask some more short questions and I go more in depth of how I can assist you. I tell you more about my policy and what tools I use in my business. Once we have covered base with this, and you are interested in my services I then send you a customized proposal by email, of course, outlining the task that I will do for you as well as the price for doing so.

Now that you have agreed to the proposal, the next step is a welcome letter, this is sent to the email address that you have. This welcome letter will consist of the proposal, my policy as well as a contract that is expected for you to sign as well as a client information form for you to complete.

Bear in mind that because such information would have been discussed in the consultation call of which tools I use in my business, one of my tools that I use is an electronic signing platform for both of us to sign the contract and return to me of course.

Once the contract has been sent to me, an invoice will also be sent to you. This can take up to 14 days, from the day you placed your order for me to complete the task and once the contract has been signed, a payment of 100% upfront or stated otherwise will be stated in the contract. You are always allowed one modification per order.

Now that you are successfully on your way in doing business with me, you might want to share the good news with others of how I have made your business become more successful.

Here goes I help you get much more organized, streamlined and productive doing what you are actually best at, while not having to do the redundant technical and administrative duties that I can do for you faster, affordable and more effectively.

I know by me providing the extra pair of eyes, ears, and hands for your business, you are better able to experience less to no stress at all, increase your clientele, grow your business and also save your time on these tasks that are taking you away from your business.

It was nice of you to stop by.

How to create a work Life balance with a team

12 / 18 / 16 9 / 2 / 18

How are you from the last time you read my blog?

If you are new, welcome to my blog!

Today’s guest post is all about showing you how to balance your life while building your business to include a team. What am I referring to? I will let Barbara talk some more about this.

Here we are in the second decade after the millennium. We are experiencing a shift in how women work. We have women entrepreneurs who are also balancing home life.

Let me help you with what a work-life balance looks like for you. Every entrepreneur needs to think about how they spend their days. Ultimately, creating a work-life team is about you being able to spend more time with your husband and children in a way where you are not stressed.

Work-life balance is all about recognizing you can’t do it all alone. Fortunately, for us, there are many women who are out there every day offering services to help others. Get their jobs done more efficiently. For instance, there are many women who own a variety of service oriented companies.

They allow other entrepreneurial women to decide whether they’re going to have someone else do their print, mailing, or copywriting. This allows you to better plan out what balance looks like for you and your family.

How to achieve a Work-life balance with a Team!

A work-life team is a group of people coming together to support one another making life easier. Many times they barter services ensuring everybody gets their needs met. Then everybody gets references from people who they are working with as a work-life team.

This is a group of entrepreneurs who you seek out to help each other by doing things they struggle with or do not have time to tackle.

The group of people becomes a team by meeting together regularly to understand how each person fits into each vision.

I recommend you stay at a bartering level to avoid legal and taxation issues.

There are many options for both home and work as team options.

Copywriter
Virtual Assistant
Accounting
Childcare
Cleaning service
Chef

Figuring out who needs to be on your team really means taking a step back and looking at what your needs are. What you can handle and what you would prefer someone else’s support you in doing.

You need to build a Work-life Team.

There are three things you need to consider as you build a work-life team.

Shared Life Values
Integrity and References
Getting Value Beyond Cost

Shared Life Values

Find teammates who share your life values. Your home and business are the foundations of your life. How you build your team is important. You want to find people who are in agreement with you. The best way to figure this out is to ask yourself what are your top five values. As you talk with potential teammates ask them what their top five values are. Finding those folks who agree with you on 4 of the 5 is a good place to start.

Integrity and References

This is probably the one area where most entrepreneurs fail to give it their all. You are building a team to be geared towards supporting you and becoming an integral part of life for you and your family.

Step back and take the time to ask the tough questions. Be thorough. The more time you spend scoping out the members of your team, the fewer issues you will have later. Ask for references and call them.

Ask them to be very specific with you regarding their work ethic, efficiency, and dependability. Sometimes people are reluctant to be open. The one question most people will answer. Given the opportunity– Would you use their services again? A no answer speaks volumes. Take the time to build your team carefully and deliberately. This includes any new members.

Getting Value Beyond Cost

There are things every person needs beyond getting a particular job done. A housekeeper who is kind to your kids is a value beyond the cost of the price of getting the house cleaned.

As you are thinking about the roles other people will play on your team consider what kind of person you need. What kind of attitude, aptitude, and personality type is going to work?

The ultimate reason to build your work-life team is to free yourself up to be more present in both your personal and work life. No person becomes successful on their own.

Search out business directories where you can get in touch with others, use online groups to ask for references or put out a request for help.

When does a team become necessary?

There are four factors which will let you know it is time for a team.

Your workload has become too much.
You find yourself working instead of spending time with your family.
You are tired and stressed.
You have little time or inclination to take care of yourself.

As you move toward more growth and success, be sure to consider building a work-life team.

Good luck building your team.

How to become successful in your industry, once it’s online!

12 / 15 / 16 1 / 30 / 18

How are you from the last time you read my blog?

If you are new, welcome to my blog!

Some people have been tremendously supportive on my journey to becoming successful online, and so I wanted to share some of these lessons I have learned. I have put together 10 tips that you can use in your industry for you to be successful as well.

Don’t forget to check the sidebar and footer of this website for awesome resources!

Tips I have learned over the course of my journey to get your business going.

♥ When you are branding your business, make sure all platforms have the same font size, colour, images as well as the same theme across all social media platforms.

♥ If you prefer to use a particular social media platform use 3 that you mainly want to focus on and divide each with about 30 minutes of your time engaging with prospects and sharing content. Another useful tip is to always be mostly engaged on off-peak times.

♥ If you do not have a website, you can create a Facebook business page, start putting yourself out there by adding value and not to spam other person’s group. No matter if you are in the fashion or coaching industry when you decide to invest in a website, WordPress is the way to go. It’s ranking with being found on Google is far way better than the other platforms, and it’s free.

♥ If you are going to do an AD, make sure you have an opt-in for your ideal clients and before the opt-in, make sure you have an autoresponder to build your list.

♥ Whether you blog, share or nowhere to be seen, get yourself out there by giving value, even though this may be similar to number 2. You can start off by writing and sharing your expertise this can be done by way of video, using the social media platforms that offer you to record yourself doing a tutorial such as Periscope, or even a simple video tip. Whichever way, it’s always best to let others know you are an expert, even if you think no one is looking. When the time is right, you will appreciate that you have started somewhere.

♥ Don’t sell your services or products to prospective clients on the first meeting. When you decide to do so is entirely up to you, but I would have hated if each time I came across you, I was being pitched to. Show them you care and add value and benefit by being outside of the box. Being helpful and supportive goes a long way, more so than making a quick buck. It’s better to build relationships than services.

♥ Just because your business is online does not mean that your services/products will have to be online. Get yourself out there and network with others in your industry, even with those who are your ideal clients. “Building relationships here again”.

♥ Sharing is caring; you do not have to limit yourself to only being an expert in your industry if your clients can benefit from another service that someone you know offers; you can mention this in a post or even allow that person to guest post on your blog.

♥ Always be in a supportive group where you can learn and grow in your industry. Chances are, you are the only one in your family at present who is working online. Even though your family might get this, they do not understand its entirety. It’s always a great idea to be in a group or community with others who are experiencing the same issues as you are. Don’t be afraid to share, as you might inspire someone who was on your journey a year ago, also learning new trends and courses are always essential to be successful in this business.

♥ Lastly, self-care, you would have thought that this will be the first one for you, but I know you are always taking care of others and you are last on the list, but yet you know that if you do not take care of you, you will suffer, the business will suffer, the household will suffer…we can go on and on with this but it’s best in the beginning of your business to start scheduling those days for you, whether it will mean that on Mondays you will go to the hairdresser to do you, do it with no hesitation.

It was nice of you to stop by.

Until then, happy hiring, and best wishes with your business.
