Do you struggle with managing your database? Perhaps it’s keeping all the new entries in from the business cards and other contacts you’ve obtained? Or perhaps it’s managing the mail merge aspect to send out letters, emails or perhaps even cards.
Do not despair. There are Virtual Assistants who specialise in this type of work and they can manage several different types of database programs and CRMs.
What do you need to do to engage the right VA?
First, it would be helpful if you knew why you wanted the database. What are you hoping to achieve from it? What would be your desired end result?
Looking at the end first helps us determine what needs to take place in the beginning. Databases can be managed for many, many different types of things, i.e. names and address lists, history record of client service or products bought, history of contact maintained, newsletters sent, Christmas card lists, perhaps multiple lists for all sorts of things.
If you were able to sit down and scribble out some ideas of what you want to achieve then someone can assist in determining the right database for you.
There are databases that can be maintained on the computer only, or online if you want to build an automatic subscriber list from your website. So knowing why first will help determine the what and how it will be put together. Contact me today to help you find the right Virtual Assistant support for your needs. I have several VAs in my team who assist in this area.
