How a Virtual Receptionist Helps Entrepreneurs Achieve Work-Life Balance
Around 66% of people believe that they can achieve work-life balance by having their own business through entrepreneurship. Roughly 68% of entrepreneurs confirm that this is true.
Part of what makes My Receptionist so successful is our ability to help these entrepreneurs find the balance between work and personal life they are looking for. Various outsourced services take the load off an entrepreneur’s timetable and free them up to do other things. Virtual receptionist services are one example.
Virtual receptionists can do more than take calls and messages for you. They can do multiple tasks that ultimately provide you with more time to focus on other duties or do the activities that take up most of your time.
A Virtual Receptionist Can Handle Your Redundant Tasks
Data entry, payroll processing, email replies, urgent research, and other tasks can be performed by a virtual assistant or virtual receptionist. You can have them do administrative work as well as repetitive tasks.
With only 24 hours in a day, entrepreneurs won’t have a lot of time left to focus on innovation and growing their business if they’re doing repetitive work. But having a virtual receptionist who can do these tasks for you will open up your schedule so you can do the most important things.
A Virtual Receptionist Can Manage Social Media
Virtual receptionists and assistants can also create social media posts. They can also respond to questions and concerns from customers through your social media pages. According to surveys, roughly 33% of customers use social media for customer service issues, mainly to ask about availability or issue a complaint.
Managing social media takes a lot of time and can eat into an entrepreneur’s workday, especially if they have few or no staff. Hiring a virtual receptionist to field questions and address common concerns will free up their time, which they can then spend on core tasks, their family, and their hobbies.
A Virtual Receptionist Can Proofread
A virtual receptionist can proofread memos, announcements, press releases, and other communications that are released to the public. Entrepreneurs simply have to write a statement or announcement, and the receptionist will check for and correct errors. They can also post it on social media. Additionally, they can email press releases to relevant media outlets.
A Virtual Receptionist Can Manage Emails & Email Lists
The virtual receptionist can also act as your email filter. If you’re too busy to check incoming emails, the assistant can look through the mail and sort out the most urgent and critical messages back to you. The receptionist can reply to non-essential emails on your behalf.
Additionally, they can manage your email lists. Unsubscribing from newsletters, removing spam, and updating your contacts are just some of the ways they can streamline your email.
Extend Your Working Hours!
You don’t have to stay at your desk for long hours when you have a virtual receptionist sharing the load. No matter what type of business you’re running, you can clock out on time, knowing that the receptionist will continue working until their tasks for the day are done. You’ll have more time for your personal life, family, and hobbies, creating a better work-life balance.
