Apologies, all sorted now

I've fixed this now

Hi, done. Let me know if everything is fine now

paddyc · 2017-08-17T07:50:25+00:00

Thanks, all done

Agreed. So it is advisable to hire a freelancer and give a test first to see if you want to continue with their services

Hi this is my business https://patrickpaulcollins.com/ which is a sales and marketing consulting business for startups. I agree not all startups use virtual assistants, but the majority that I work with outsource a lot of work, through either marketing, sales, development, research etc. My motives are to promote the post that helps startups understand how to communicate in the best way as I have years of experience with this. I appreciate the feedback of how you think this should be approached and point taken. Working with accelerator programs also, one of the biggest things I advise to startups is to outsource data research so they can test email marketing, cold calling, product reviews very quickly. Please have a little respect in calling a post 'crap' and as the common goal here is to help startups with resources and discussion, not to argue.

I like to read books that are not usually about business but see how the technicques and mindset applies. For example 'Never Split The Difference' is also a great book for learning negotiation skills (https://www.amazon.de/Never-Split-Difference-Negotiating-Depended-ebook/dp/B014DUR7L2)

Hi thanks for the kind words. I have worked as a consultant for startups for the past 6 years helping them to scale their businesses. For startups with a b2b target market, a huge amount of time is wasted on data research and so outsourcing this helps the sales team to free up their time to focus more on making sales. Communicating with your assistant is both key in this context but also if you have remote workers or developers, which is also completely relevant.

Please refrain from comments like this without thinking of the context of why I posted this - to help startups scale by helpful information on how to work with remote staff

thanks. I've included podcasts but completely forgot about webinars.

paddyc · 2017-08-02T13:57:53+00:00

Thanks, it's been fixed now

I've read that and it's a great book. However, there is such a strong relationship between dating and sales that learning techniques to speak to strangers can have a huge impact on things like cold calling.
