Do you say Lachance?  [00:01:18] Jason: Lachance. Yep. Lachance.  [00:01:20] Jason: I nailed it. All right. So Bob, great to have you on the show. And, Bob, you are helping people discover the top marketing channels that can maximize lead generation when working with VAs. And so we're going to chat a bit about that today before we get into that, tell everybody a little bit about you, how you got into entrepreneurism and what led you to what you're doing now.  [00:01:43] Bob: Yeah. So right now I'll just start right now. I have a real estate investment company as well. And I have a virtual assistant staffing company, so I use my VAs in my own business. So I have a rental portfolio as well as a buy sell fix flip company here in Connecticut, doing a couple of different states, but I started back about 20, 21 years ago now back in 2004. [00:02:06] Bob: I played professional hockey prior to that for eight years and then got into real estate. And you know, from real estate, helped start an education program while I was, you know, working on properties. I did a lot of, you know, fixed flip wholesaling, all that kind of good stuff. This is, again, I'm dating myself, but this is back in 2004. [00:02:25] Bob: And through the process, when I helped start this education company there was a huge need in the industry, just like you, right? You see a need out there. And I'm a lot like you on that side of it, helping people and figuring out, you know, where they could. Create passive income or income in general. [00:02:42] Bob: So, during the coaching program, while I was in it, I realized there was a huge need. Majority of the students that I coached didn't have the time to actually put into their real estate business because they were either working part time or full time. They just needed to, you know, they needed help. And for years, upon years, I was looking for a solution for that. [00:03:01] Bob: Whether it was a product I didn't know back then, again, this is going back from 2007 to 2013. I didn't know there was any services out there, like what virtual assistants were. And then I got introduced back in 2013 what a virtual assistant was. You know what this could help my business So I hired my first one and then light bulb went on like, you know what we could turn this into a business I could take the back end of what it helps create which is the real estate education company And our students could use it to help them grow their business help scale help, you know, get your time and freedom back. So launched it in 2014 and then fast forward today you know 10 years later i've been in business for a while and I also have like I said my real estate investment company  [00:03:45] Jason: Nice. [00:03:46] Jason: Nice. All right. And so let's get into the topic at hand. So, we're going to talk a little bit about leveraging virtual assistants. And so how did you kind of start doing this yourself?  [00:03:58] Bob: Yeah well, when I first got into this, like I said I door knocked first, we didn't have the opportunity to have, you know, virtual assistants do some outbound stuff. [00:04:07] Bob: And I didn't understand, you know, I didn't understand what outsourcing was when I first started. It was just me. I had an individual who was my business partner back in the day, but first year I door knocked. I went from door to door, individuals that were behind on payments. So it wasn't the easiest job in the world, but it allowed you to understand how to build a business from ground up. [00:04:29] Bob: I think that was very important back then. So nowadays you can have virtual assistants do that, whether it's you know, cold calling, whether it's responding to direct mail, whether it's text messaging, whether it's social media, whether it's going out to, you know, Facebook marketplace and going right direct to seller, you also have rarely used now Craigslist, of course, but there's different ways to acquire and use your virtual assistant to do that. So that's just, again, a long and short.  [00:04:54] Jason: So go ahead and tell people a little bit about your company and what you help people do. And I'm really curious because this is usually a difficult thing for business owners to outsource. [00:05:05] Jason: Usually they'll outsource some of the lowest level stuff, and it's usually not towards growth, lead generation, outreach, stuff like that. Those pieces can be really difficult to get dialed in or to do effectively. And so, tell us a little bit about REVA global? Okay. Yeah.  [00:05:22] Bob: So, you know, like I said, we started back in 2014. [00:05:26] Bob: Like I said, I've been doing this for a long time and just to fast forward to what that looks like today and working with property managers, because obviously the individuals that are on your podcast here, I'll speak to them. And I know, you know, many people that also buy and hold also probably do fix and flip or also may wholesale, but it's kind of the same concept, but there's a lot of different tasks within it that virtual assistants can do. [00:05:50] Bob: So what I did is I broke up all the stuff that our VA is doing in my own business because you know, many individuals that are listening to this will relate to a company like ours because like I said, we have a real estate investment company, but we also use our VA's which I think is pretty cool. I think Nowadays, it's very important as a service provider like myself to use it to make sure it works so I think that's a pretty unique thing that we actually have. But what we do, we have virtual assistants that acquire, we call them like a department of acquisition. So if you're looking for leads, you could do cold calling, you do text blasting, you could do lead management. You know, lead management, a lot of us, I'm just like, you will have all these leads in your database, but if you don't get ahold of them the first time, your marketing is going to consistently go out. So when marketing consistently goes out, what we find is all those leads end up piling up. And if you try to reach out to them the first time, you know you have a very small percentage that are actually going to pick up the phone. Right? So you need somebody then that will continue to follow up on those leads. [00:06:57] Bob: And a national statistic is over 70% of all sales never happen on the first touch, right? So you have to continue. And I think that's probably 90 or 95 percent nowadays. So that's what we find in our office. And I know a lot of our clients say the same thing. So that number could change a little bit depending on what you read, but our experience in our office is over 90%. [00:07:21] Bob: So what I mean by that is the first touch, whether it's direct mail call or a cold call, whatever you do for direct mail or whatever you do for marketing, that first touch will not equate to a contract, so you're going to have somebody that's continuing to follow up with those individuals. Very important. [00:07:39] Bob: I wish I would have understood that stat when I first started real estate. But again, you know, you learn over time. Another stuff. If you look at other tasks as well, that works very well is marketing. Right social media management because you look at any type of business if you don't have marketing It's very difficult brand awareness, right people want to do business with people they see, feel, touch, and like so you need to make sure that you're out there You're out in the public's eye. [00:08:05] Bob: I think that's very important. I know you guys do a great job of that Jason on the marketing side of always being out there because I see in a lot of different places everywhere I'm looking online. So whoever's doing your stuff man, great job. So you're doing a fantastic job on that side of it. And then you go into leasing so if we look at property management you know driving leads is one thing, but you also have to, you know, close them. [00:08:27] Bob: So if it's you, me, or whoever's the one on the phone locking up those deals, it then goes to once you own them, you got leasing, you got move in, move out, you have collection, you have evictions, you have maintenance, you have accounts receivable, you have accounts payable, bookkeeping, accounting etc that fall underneath that property management umbrella, that virtual assistants are phenomenal to actually take on those tasks for you.  [00:08:52] Jason: Got it. Yeah. Yeah. So what's the typical process for somebody that could use some help from a company like yours? How do you engage them? [00:09:01] Jason: What's onboarding like? How does that work?  [00:09:03] Bob: I think for anybody who's looking to scale or looking to just get help in their business. You know, here in Connecticut, it's pretty interesting because if you're looking to hire someone in house, you start looking at what's going on with the world and what's going on with the economy in state of Connecticut, minimum wage is up to $15.69. [00:09:24] Bob: So when you start looking at that I know in my area, if I try to hire someone at minimum wage, they don't have a four year college degree. That's just not the highest level individual that you'd want working in your office. And so now you start looking at those things and what's happening around the country. [00:09:42] Bob: Virtual assistants are very are a big part of anyone's business. In my opinion today, I think you got to start looking at that because small businesses, a lot of times, especially when we start, we are on a tight budget. Right. And so for us to start to scale or start to grow or start to hire, we really need to look at what's going out, meaning out of our pocket. [00:10:04] Bob: So it's very important. So they first look at number one, what can we afford as small business owners? If we look at that number, now we start looking at what tasks in our business do not put money in our pocket. Right? And if you look in your world, meaning the property management world, it is a lot of the tasks like leasing, like taking calls from tenants, move in, move outs, eviction process when you're calling attorneys back and forth. What does that look like? There's just a lot of back and forth, right? Maintenance concerns. You get those all the time and those are the things that burn up your time. Your phone doesn't stop ringing. [00:10:44] Bob: So if your husband or wife wants to go on vacation with you and your phone doesn't stop ringing. That's going to put a lot of stress and a lot of challenges in your personal life to where, especially when you continue to grow. You have to put more systems and processes in your business. You know, if you had one house, that's one headache. [00:11:02] Bob: You had two, that's two headaches. You have a hundred, you have a hundred potential headaches that if you don't want to take those headaches on yourself, it's always good to have somebody else take those headaches before it gets to you.  [00:11:15] Jason: Yeah. Property management can definitely be death by a thousand cuts. [00:11:18] Bob: Yep.  [00:11:18] Jason: Yep. And if you get it really well dialed in though, yeah, it can be a really great residual income business model.  [00:11:25] Bob: So Very good. Very good. Well, two sides of it, right? You buy, right? You have an equity play there, right? And if you don't have to deal with the headache, you get the positive income, you get tax advantages, things like that. [00:11:36] Bob: So, I mean, I'm a huge advocate of buying and holding and property management because over time, the more, like you said, the more properties you actually hold, the bigger your income grows.  [00:11:48] Jason: Nice. Yeah. Cool. So, so I love this. There's lots of low level tasks. It does get really expensive trying to afford staff and team members and you don't want the cheapest or lowest level or worst people. [00:12:02] Jason: You know, in the United States representing your business. And so, sometimes you can get people at a fraction of the price point that have a lot more education that are a lot better. And so when you, any of the roles that are able to be done virtually, you open yourself up to a global marketplace rather than just your local city. [00:12:22] Jason: And so, yeah, so there's definitely advantages. So my entire team are virtual and I've got team members in various areas, Canada, Philippines. Egypt gosh, I don't know where else like all over the place and I've hired people over the past and just about everywhere. So yeah. And so, and so I'm not limited, so I'm able to just go find the best and I'm able to figure out, okay what can kind of fit into our budget and what can we afford in order to do that. [00:12:49] Bob: Right. And to your point, to get back to what that looks like, I mean, anyone in this world could go out and go source for their own candidates. You know, we set up a very unique system process. We have a whole sourcing and recruiting team. All my virtual assistants are in the Philippines. We set up a sourcing and recruiting team out of the Philippines, so they're Looking through, you know, thousands of resumes every single month sifting through and we're getting the best of those Resumes that come in as soon as they pass then they go through an interview process. [00:13:22] Bob: They pass the interview process They go to our training team and they train for about a month on various tasks property management tasks lead generation tasks, etc And then once they actually get to the end of that stage, they do another test and a lot of individuals do not pass our testing phase. And that's a positive thing because, you know, that's a way to kind of weed out the individuals that wouldn't make it, yeah, very good. [00:13:48] Bob: So, after that goes to our placements team and our placements team, it's kind of like match. com. They look at exactly what you're, you know, what the tasks are. And we do DISC profiling, things like that, and predictive index. And we look at the tasks that they're good at, and we match them exactly up with the client and the tasks that they're looking for. [00:14:05] Bob: So for instance, if someone's looking for a bookkeeper, you're not going to give them a profile that's a sales profile, right? You're going to, you're going to give them the correct profile. You put them together, they go through an interview process, and they pick the best candidate that fits within them so after that, it goes to our operations team. We have what we call a client service manager that helps manage the relationship between you and your va, so it's very streamlined. [00:14:27] Bob: You know, we tried every different business model there is out there and the model that we have right now seems to be the best model.  [00:14:34] Jason: Nice. Yeah, I always recommend if you're a property manager like watching this or listening if you don't have a really solid hiring process you have not like tested embedded and experimented with, then the best initial way to do hiring is to leverage other companies' hiring processes. Go and work with a company and there's lots of different companies I've worked with over the years to get people on my team, and then eventually we've built a really good process internally, but In the beginning, I do think every business eventually needs their own hiring system, but if you don't have a great robust hiring system that you can get candidates consistently, that you know are a good culture fit, a good skill fit for the role, a good personality fit for the role then you need to go leverage somebody else's hiring system. [00:15:20] Jason: So I would highly recommend, especially if you're going to dabble with VAs, especially in the Philippines or any other area, that you want to not be dealing with all the riff raff and the challenges and everything else. You want to have some help with this. So I highly recommend you leverage somebody else's hiring system. And they're going to help you not waste as much time and money for sure.  [00:15:46] Bob: And that's one of the things that's a great very great point because when you're first starting out or you're smaller. The best thing to do is learn off of others, right? [00:15:55] Bob: It's you'll walk through a company like mine. You say, "wow, what a great system." You know what? Document what we do and then implement it in your own business if you start growing. I think that is a fantastic idea, Jason, for that. Because, you know, you look at the biggest companies in the world. [00:16:09] Bob: They didn't just, you know, start being the biggest companies in the world or that, you know, it doesn't, you don't have to be the biggest, but they learned from somebody and they started implementing and they tested, you don't always get it right the first time. But after a while you will hone in and get that right. [00:16:24] Bob: So I 100 percent agree whether it's with our company or anybody else. Like I said, anyone could do anything themselves. It all depends on what you need help with at the beginning.  [00:16:34] Jason: Yeah. And it also depends on how long do you want to suck until you figure it out.  [00:16:40] Bob: That's true.  [00:16:41] Jason: Like so if you want to collapse time, I highly recommend. Because I know when I started experimenting with hiring in the Philippines. Like there's just things you don't even think to ask like we had to ask like where are you accessing the internet? [00:16:53] Jason: Is this like at a cafe at your home? Is it reliable? What kind of computer do you have? You know, we needed to be able to you know there's just so many little quality controls we had to implement in order to figure out if they would be a good candidate, I mean, I've had team members in the Philippines with chickens going off constantly in the background and roosters crowing and like all sorts of stuff and their internet going up and down and so you know, there's there's a lot of quality controls that I think need to be put in place because it's not America. We have a little bit more stability in our infrastructure and in our internet connections and everything else. [00:17:29] Jason: And so, and then, you know, it helps to have somebody that manages the relationship like your company, because a lot of times, in that culture, they can be a little bit shy, I think at times, or a little bit nervous about displeasing their employer or giving honest feedback. And so they tend to ghost or disappear. [00:17:49] Jason: People have talked about people in the Philippines doing this. And so having somebody manage that relationship as a liaison can help improve the results that you're getting from team members. And but the cost savings are awesome. I mean, it's like a third to a half of what you would get and you can get college educated people, you get people that have like lots and lots of experience and skill, and they are able to be paid very well for their area. [00:18:14] Jason: And for you, it's seems like a steal. So.  [00:18:17] Bob: And that's one of the things that we pride ourselves on. I mean, you nailed it. You touched upon all of that. You know, we make sure there's backup. We make sure there's the right internet connection, the right computer system, etc. So to your point that is definitely something for everyone listening to this to look at because the vetting process, that's what I found the most tiring. When I first hired my first VA, I got it wrong a lot, to be honest with you. And I didn't ask any of those questions. And then it's kind of funny to talk about the rooster. That happened to me. And that was before I actually owned the company. And then I started my company. That's one of the things I'm like, all right, we have to listen for, right? [00:18:52] Bob: What's your background, what's your surrounding, right to your point. And then you start learning over time. And then the more interviews you go on, the more stuff you learn, right? Like you said, you don't learn or you don't know all this stuff until you actually go through the process. And I think it's important for you to understand if you're going to do this, know that you're going to have a lot of pain up front when you hire at the beginning, right? And then you work with a company like mine and you'll realize you didn't go through that pain, but then you want to go hire someone. And then you decide to then throw your hat in the ring and do this yourself. [00:19:25] Bob: 100%. The questions to ask, just like Jason said up front, those are some of the things to look at.  [00:19:30] Jason: You know, based on the stuff that you said, I there's a lot of. Property management targeted, you know, VA companies leveraging talent in the Philippines, but it seems like one of the things you brought up that seems to be unique to what you guys do that's different than most of the others, or maybe all of them is the focus on client acquisition, lead gen, and on the sales side of things. [00:19:53] Jason: Most are usually focused on trying to find VAs that are more like executive assistants or that are going to do tasks and be told what to do rather than people that you can trust to be the initial connection and face of your business.  [00:20:08] Bob: You know what it's interesting, again, it's interesting you say that because I've been in this business for about 21 years, real estate investing. [00:20:14] Bob: And we realized over time that If you don't have, you talk about acquisition and lead generation, if you don't have leads for any of our businesses, we are going to struggle to make ends meet, right? So you have to figure out a way that's going to drive in leads to your business. I mean, I know for me, I'll just give you a perfect example. [00:20:32] Bob: When I door knocked, I went door to door to door every day from 10 a. m. to 3 p. m. But when I go home, I'd get that list and I would skip trace it back in the day You'd use 401. com white pages, and I would look for the best possible phone number for that individual then I would call. So when I got home, I would skip trace then I'll call until seven at night until I had to eat dinner with the family. But over time, I was beat up. [00:20:55] Bob: I don't recommend doing that anymore. You don't have to do that anymore because you can hand over those tasks over to a virtual assistant. And they're the ones that are going to be doing the outreach for you. And again, I do recommend you should try it because you'll realize you know, open your mind and understand that outsourcing that task will really give your energy back and bring your success up. [00:21:16] Bob: You may feel, well, I don't think anyone could do that task better than me. We all said, I know you said it before, Jason, I've said it. We all feel that way. And if you think about it, if they do 80 percent as good as you, that's a huge win. Now you get to do other tasks. That's going to drive business and revenue to your business. [00:21:36] Jason: Even if they do it half as well as you, but they're getting. You know, half the result and you're able to hire two or three of them and not do that work. Like it's easily time and money well spent. So it's consistency, right?  [00:21:48] Bob: It's all the consistency. If you have something, a task that gets on a consistent manner, consistent basis every single day, you will get results by the end of the week. [00:21:58] Jason: Yeah. So what are kind of SLA you know, you know, what do you sort of think are the metrics or KPIs for as an appointment setter or somebody trying to help, you know, maybe reaching out directly to owners or maybe reaching out to schedule, I don't know, appointments with real estate agents to build referral relationships. [00:22:17] Jason: How many calls should they make a day? If this is their full time gig and how many appointments do you think they should be booking?  [00:22:22] Bob: Well, it depends. So if you have, so for instance, if you have a, you know, triple line dialer, as an example, it depends if you're, you know, calling just on a, you know, on your phone and just dial like this, but there's a lot of very good technology out there. [00:22:36] Bob: You got mojo dialer, you have things like that actually are very good. You may have a company that you refer, Jason, that you could tell everyone but you're probably calling if you're full time, anywhere between 400 and 600 dials using that dialer, not manual dialing. You're probably going to hit about a hundred, 150 if you're manually dialing. [00:22:57] Bob: And that's a day. Yeah. But if you have a triple line dialer, you're going to hit on average 400 to 600 and this is just what I've seen through the years that I've been doing this. You may have a technology that burns through a thousand calls and then you're going to be listening to me saying, well, Bob, you're a hundred percent wrong. [00:23:13] Bob: I'm just telling you what I see on a daily basis and what comes out of, you know, mine and my client's offices.  [00:23:19] Jason: I think yeah, even if they're doing it manually, if they can get a hundred to two hundred calls a day and get two appointments booked a day, like, so they're getting roughly about 10 a week. [00:23:27] Jason: Like that's a solid result for an appointment setter.  [00:23:31] Bob: That's a win. That's a win. You're looking at, if you're looking for, so we call them ITS's in our office, interested to sell. I know other people call it different, but that's what we look for. Same exact thing. One to two per day per VA. [00:23:44] Jason: Nice. Yeah, very cool. And those listening, I'm sure all of you would love to have one or two appointments booked for you per day, and that would fill up a nice little chunk of your time and help you close some deals. So, yeah.  [00:23:57] Bob: Especially on the buy and hold side Jason. It's a lot easier to look at your numbers. [00:24:03] Bob: And I know you have a formula that you guys look at to make sure the rent and you know, what the interest rates are today, et cetera, et cetera, whatever financing you have, but it is easier on the buy and hold side to fit within your buy box, right? Rather than having to go at, you know, 30 or 40 or 50 or 60 percent of the value. [00:24:20] Bob: When you fund it out and then try to resell it. So it's a different kind of mindset. So you're very fortunate if you're going to buy and hold your buy box is usually different than somebody who's either trying to wholesale or fix and flip.  [00:24:32] Jason: Got it. So we've probably got some property management business owners listening to this. [00:24:37] Jason: And for some reason, maybe they're just crazy and they have not yet worked with DoorGrow yet, but they're like, Hey, I would like to grow, add some doors and maybe have somebody do some calls and reach out to Bob. How could they get in touch with you and how can they initiate a conversation?  [00:24:54] Bob: Well, you can check us out on our all of our social, of course, but REVA Global. R-E-V-A Global. com. If you have any specific questions, obviously for you, you could just reach me direct at bob@revaglobal.com.  [00:25:07] Jason: Awesome. Hey Bob, thanks for coming on the show. Any parting words for entrepreneurs that are struggling, they've never hired an assistant yet they, even if they've built out part of their team or an entire team already, which is ludicrous to me, but what would you say to them? [00:25:22] Bob: Well, I would say number one, get started, of course, but number two, I would say you got to set up your processes and systems and get them done consistently because if you just get success here. And then you stop doing it. Real estate's a long game. You know, like I said, I started this 21 years ago and I wish I knew what I knew now back then. [00:25:43] Bob: I would start buying properties back then because right now I'd be retired with thousands of doors and rental income of a thousand doors. But I started a little bit later.  [00:25:54] Jason: Hey, Bob, we appreciate you coming and hanging out with me on the DoorGrow show today. And I'm excited to see if you helped maybe some of our clients listening or some of the people let me know what results they get and maybe we'll have you come back on.

Are you tired of juggling endless tasks in your commercial real estate business? Wondering if there's a way to boost productivity without burning out? Join Ash Patel as he sits down with Bob Lachance, founder of Reva Global, to uncover the game-changing potential of virtual assistants. Discover how these dynamic assistants can revolutionize your workflow, from lead generation to administrative duties, allowing you to focus on what truly matters: scaling your commercial real estate empire. Key Takeaways: Start Small, Gain Confidence: Virtual assistants (VAs) can significantly enhance your business efficiency, but starting with one VA and gaining confidence is often the best approach. Gradually add more VAs as you identify specific tasks that can be outsourced effectively. Clear Task Identification: Successful utilization of VAs hinges on precisely defining the tasks you want them to handle. Categorize income-producing tasks from non-income-producing ones and offload the latter. Remember, even if a VA performs at 80% of your level, the time saved can significantly grow your business. Avoiding Burnout and Overcoming Skepticism: Monitoring burnout is crucial, but VA tasks are typically specialized and structured, which can prevent burnout in comparison to monotonous assembly line work. Skepticism about VAs can be countered by giving it a try, ensuring clarity on the tasks you need assistance with, and utilizing tracking metrics if necessary.   Bob Lachance | Real Estate Background Bob Lachance is the founder and CEO of Reva Global, a trailblazing virtual assistant training and staffing company that caters to real estate professionals.

As Bob Lachance grew his real estate business, he had the same struggle many small business owners face - how to hire good employees at an affordable price. Bob heard about Virtual Assistants (VAs) and wondered what Virtual Assistants actually did. And Bob wondered how a Virtual Assistant could help his real estate business. Bob wasn't sure the best way to hire a virtual assistant. At the beginning, he used other Virtual Assistant hiring agencies that ended up wasting most of his time and money. This left Bob frustrated, but he was determined to find a good solution. Bob has now discovered the best way to hire virtual assistants, which includes hiring virtual assistants in the Philippines. Over the years, Bob knew how much better his system of finding good virtual assistants was compared to other agencies, so Bob now runs Reva Global, one of the best virtual assistant hiring agencies, especially for real estate businesses. Bob began his successful real estate business in 2004 and has done over 1,500 transactions since then. He has also started 2 very successful real estate coaching programs, 3 virtual assistant staffing companies, and much more.

Bob Lachance is the founder of REVA Global Virtual Assistants, a company providing professionally trained virtual assistants specializing in real estate investing. Bob has been investing in real estate since 2004, after transitioning from his career as a professional hockey player.

Bob Lachance thought he would play hockey forever. The former St. Louis Blues wing knew that wouldn't really happen, of course, but after he hung up his skates for the last time he's certainly kept himself busy. The key was to just get started, and now he's focused on being "in the game" on a daily basis. As Bob tells us, "If you're interested in real estate, get started because you never know if you're going to end up buying into syndications or starting your own syndication or raising money or being a small operator or having your own management company." Today, Bob wears a lot hats. He's the Founder & CEO of the virtual assistance company Reva Global, the host of the podcast Pucks to Property, the founder of Perch Rock Management, which acquires distressed and non-performing single-family and multi-family properties in the northeast and, finally, the owner of Hat Trick and the co-creator of Fortune Builders Mastery Mentor Program. He's certainly proof that think, while what you start might end up the way you think it will, just get started and your path will take you where it will. Key Takeaways: - JUST GET STARTED. - In real estate there's no get rich quick anything. Balance the shiny object syndrome by taking things one step at a time. - Find a mentor in the space you want to get into. It's not a get rich quick plan, but that something that will allow you to get to where you want to go faster. Follow their lead because the've been there already. - Not everyone is meant to be in the real estate business. You have to have thick skin because sometimes, you can take a beating but you have to keep getting up.

Many years ago, Beth Lachance realized that there was an opening for virtual professionals in medical and dental practices. She began working on her business plan and fine tuning what would become REVA Global Medical. In this episode of the Prosperous Doc®, our host Shane Tenny, CFP® welcomes Beth Lachance, CEO of REVA Global Medical, to discuss how she became one of the leaders in the virtual professional evolution in medicine.From front desk and clerical work to back-end insurance dealings and accounting needs, the medical virtual professionals at REVA are alleviating the stress caused by a low supply of healthcare employees. REVA prioritizes forming true partnerships with practices and physicians. Their interest is not in replacing existing personnel nor outsourcing jobs, but in creating the capacity to do more and better work.

Today's guest, Bob Lachance, is the founder and CEO of premiere Virtual Assistant staffing company REVA Global that helps real estate professionals get their time back and close more deals. Everything changed for Bob Lachance when he had an “a-ha” moment. A veteran of over 1,500 real estate investments, he had been helping real estate coaching programs build out their back end, and he was faced with the eternal problem: Once you close the deal with a new coaching client, how do you get them to succeed? What obstacles need to be removed so they get the results they are looking for? The breakthrough came when he realized that most of the coaching students didn't lack knowledge, access to funds, or even courage. What they lacked was time.

Investors who fail to PIVOT will not survive the storm that's coming… I was talking to a successful investor on one of my podcast interviews who said a few months ago, practically anyone could make money in real estate. With the economic chances looming, that's not going to continue being the case for much longer. This is why it's important to grow and adapt along with the changing investment landscape. Real estate entrepreneurs aiming to preserve and even scale their investments should consider these two things: adding different investment strategies to their toolbelt, and building out their team. And these are two topics we dive into with today's guest, Bob Lachance. Bob is the founder and CEO of REVA Global, a premiere Virtual Assistant staffing company. He has done over 1,500 real estate transactions. He played professional hockey for 8 years, in both Europe and the U.S.. In this episode, we discuss with Bob how essential having an administrative assistant is for real estate investors, what the vetting process looks like, tasks you can outsource, and why investors need to adopt new strategies besides the traditional ones in order to survive in the industry. This is a must-listen!

“The first rule of management is delegation. Don't try and do everything yourself because you can't.” – Anthea Turner Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast, sits down with Beth Lachance, CEO of REVA Global Medical. Virtual Assistants have slowly been revolutionizing how the healthcare space operates, and Beth explains how. From front-desk tasks to vital back-end systems, Virtual Assistants can do it all. Tune into this episode to learn more about the beauty of hiring Virtual Assistants.   3 KEY POINTS: Know when you need to take something off your plate and hand it off to someone else. Hire people that you know will do it better than you. You can't do everything and you can't do everything well.   EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS: Beth's husband, who owned a VA company for years, underwent a business partnership break-up four years ago. After that incident, Beth quit her job and joined her husband to launch REVA Global. Having a deep understanding of several medical practices, Beth knew there was great potential in creating a business offering virtual medical assistance for medical practices. Date, if possible, before you get married. Really, really know the person you're going into business with. Learn their history and how they act with different people. Back then, Virtual Assistants have been popular in various industries except for the medical industry. The pandemic allowed the medical industry to realize that remote workers in medicine are possible. Virtual Assistants are capable of handling time-consuming front-desk tasks, full new patient intakes, revenue cycles, etc. Nurses and medical assistants should focus on patient care and assisting the physicians and be relieved of tasks that can be delegated to Virtual Assistants. REVA Medical Global is entirely Philippines-based. The Philippine culture works out extraordinarily well in US Healthcare. REVA's Filipino VAs all have bachelor's degrees and excellent English proficiency. The common pain points that Virtual Assistants help with are “scaling a business at the right pace” and “seeing more patients.” Hire fast, fire faster. If you know someone's not going to work out, we have to move on. Learn more about REVA Global Medical through www.revaglobalmd.com Reach Beth directly through her email beth@revaglobal.com   TWEETABLE QUOTES: "Virtual Assistants taking off and delegating monotonous, brutal tasks from the medical team is what makes a really big difference." – Beth Lachance "You've got to make sure they love their job. It's not just about paying somebody more. You can pay me more, but if I hate my job, I'm not going to stay that much longer." – Beth Lachance   CONNECT WITH JASON DUPRAT LinkedIn | Facebook | Instagram | Youtube Email: support@jasonduprat.com Join our Facebook group: https://jasonduprat.com/group   ABOUT THE GUEST Beth Lachance is the CEO of REVA Global Medical, a provider of outsourced solutions for medical professionals and entrepreneurs and is the leading source for trained Medical Virtual Assistants.

Virtual assistants are becoming more common day by day. Unfortunately, most businesses are yet to learn how to go about sourcing a VA.

Bob and his company ensure that we have skilled and trained virtual assistants. His company sources VAs from the Philippines.

In today's episode, I'm speaking with Beth Lachance, CEO of REVA Global Medical Virtual Assistants, a company providing healthcare professionals with unmatched virtual solutions. REVA Global is headquartered in Connecticut, and they employ VAs in the Philippines.  Beth shares how hiring a virtual professional can support a medical practice or hospital center at a fraction of the expense of hiring a full time employee.  A virtual medical assistant can support in many roles:  New patient intake forms Scheduling Insurance verification and prior authorization Review of referral information Electronic medical records Revenue cycles, including billing, claims and collections Other administrative tasks This kind of service can help with improving scalability by increasing profitability, number of patients you can see, maintaining your team and improving morale across the board.  Beth's parting wisdom is: Look at who's on your staff now. Are they in the right seat doing what they're supposed to do , and what they're best at? Take stock, sit with them and have the conversation to learn about whether they're able to work to their highest potential.  Delegate tasks to someone else, whether it's to a VMA or someone else in your practice The benefits and much lower financial investment in working with VMAs is a viable solution to an age-old problem, which in the medical world usually means in order to see more patients, you need to hire more staff to keep up with all of the administrative and billing tasks associated with a higher patient load. Working with an agency that does their own vetting, onboarding and training can reduce the risks for you as a practice owner, while increasing your capacity and scalability.  Bio: Beth Lachance is leading REVA Global Medical in vision and the day-to-day business operations securing the functionality of the business to drive extensive and sustainable growth. Combining her strong leadership and determination with her 16 years of experience as a business owner specializing in Real Estate Project Management and Investing with Hat Trick Holding, LLC, and over 22 years of corporate experience in the private and public sector of Surgical Device, Pharmaceutical, and Specialty Pharmacy Industries – she keeps the company moving forward with high-level strategy while understanding the details of day-to-day execution to ensure steadfast success. Previous to Beth's corporate and entrepreneur experience, she competed as a full athletic scholarship athlete as a Division I Gymnast at the University of Florida where she graduated with a Bachelor of Science at the College of Health and Human Performance in Health Sciences.

Welcome to another episode of the Remote Real Estate Investor. I'm Michael Albaum, and today I'm joined by Bob Lachance, who is the CEO and founder of REVA GLOBAL, and Bob's gonna be talking to us today about what it is a VA can do for your business, and why you might want to think about actually hiring one. So let's get into it.   Bob, what's going on, man, thank you so much for taking the time coming on with me, I appreciate you.   Bob: Michael, thanks for having me. Appreciate it!   Michael: Oh my god, so a pleasure. So I know a little bit about your background. We were chatting here before we hit record. But for anyone who is not familiar with you, if you can give us the quick and dirty who you are, where you come from, and what is it that you do in real estate today?   Bob: Sounds good to second rundown and, uh, you and I, we you and I know each other a bit. So you and I have a lot in common actually, I started this thing might not be in common. But I started you know, I played freshman hockey for eight years. Prior to that went to Boston University for four years, and then played near my last four years actually playing hockey, I played in Europe. That was a pretty good run and then as soon as it started coming to an end, I had my first child and my wife was staying at home with him. So I figured you know what, I don't have really too much either to accomplish in my, in my planning career. So you know, I know a lot of people go through this, where they're looking at becoming a real estate investor, from one industry to the next and I know it's a very challenging time for a lot of people. So I know exactly what you went through. This was me back in 2004, to where you had to make an adjustment and really, you know, jump in, in a different industry, that's what I did. So I jumped into real estate investing back in 2004, start investing, my first deal was a fix and flip drove around neighborhoods, I know you have a lot of a lot of newer investors. So what you teach is farming areas, I did the same thing. So I drove around neighborhoods, I looked at properties that were dilapidated overgrown grass roof that needs to be done the whole nine yards. So I would call on literally I would go home, I would skip trace every single individual. So I write down a list of properties and a lot of what you teach, and write down a list of properties and go on to 401.com, which was a skip Tracing Service back then, you know, you have white pages, you have a lot of different services now and I literally would go home after I'd skip chairs, and I call them and say, Hey, I saw your property located at 123 Main Street. I'm looking to purchase properties. I'm a real estate investor in your area. Do you have anything for sale as your property for sale. So I got a good hit on one of them. It was actually listed property. So I had to go through the region and I knew nothing about real estate investing just so everybody's clear 2004 and went from the hockey locker room to a business owner which back in the day, man, I didn't have coaching programs that I knew about back then. So for me personally, I was kind of it was nerve racking. I had a little money put away but not a ton. So I made an offer on this property as listed at 185. I think I made an offer at 135 and they accepted it and I'm like, oh no, right. Just like any new investor, you're like, what do I do? Yeah, what do I do? I do contractors. I didn't have bank financing setup, right? I you know, at some money put away but I didn't have you know, it was 135 plus another $30,000 of rehab. I didn't have that sitting in my bank account, right. So I went out to what's called a rare reminder, I found a found some contractors called a bunch of mortgage brokers at the time and I'm finding money, funds with contractors fix and flip the property made 32 grand which was awesome, right? I'm all fired up and all pumped. However, I looked in the mirror and I'm like, I don't even know what marketing was. I mean, I drove around literally, you know, I drove around forever. I got lucky in the property. I had no systems processes nothing. It's all me and went to Home Depot probably, I don't know, 10 times a day because I again, nothing. I met that and then fast forward to the next Monday after I closed I joined a real estate investor Association and I met this dude, which was ended up being my partner for 10 years. His name was Pat Precourt great dude, awesome guy, I went up to him and I said, hey, Pat, I know you are a real estate investor in Connecticut and everyone points to you as being the best individual short sale. So I'm like, I'm looking for someone to work with. I'm not looking for any money. I'm not looking for like a nine to five job. I'm looking to join a team. Are you hiring? He said yes. I'm actually looking for an acquisition person and he goes in specific, I'm looking for a door knocker. Now, if anyone if anyone has ever done door knocking, door knocking absolutely sucks. I just have to throw it out there.   However, you know, you know, my mindset was I said, the first thing I do understand is I know I have to I have to learn from ground up and I'm willing to do the dirty work to learn the business. So remember, I already flipped the property, but I didn't really learn anything, I just kind of managed it. I was mish, mosh and made money, so now I told Pat on my car, I will door knock, he gave me a list of pre foreclosure individuals, those are individuals that stopped paying their mortgage, and a script. So without any training at the beginning, I just got thrown to the wolves and I, from 10am to 3pm, every Monday through Friday, Monday through Friday for a year. So that's how I cut my teeth on understanding how to acquire property sell and then from that I graduated to negotiating with banks and we've done well over 1000 short sale transactions through the years again, this back in 2004, you know, when the crisis hit 2000-6-7-8, done a bunch of those fast forward started a couple of real estate education programs, which we're kind of having a good time about. One of them is called fortunate millers, which ended up being one of the top ones in the in the nation and then I left there. Remember, when I left there a couple about a year and a half ago, let's just say 2014. I know I'm jumping around 2014, I started my first virtual assistant company, out of the need of working with 1000s and 1000s and 1000s of students, they were looking at it saying listen, I know I want to make the jump from a regular job to real estate investing, but they didn't have enough time. So a lot of more working part time with, you know, another job and trying to get into real estate investing. So as a perfect segue to start that business, because you know, probably 99% of all of the students that I've worked with, in my life, needed a virtual assistant. So fast forward today, I have a real estate investment company, we just flipped 160 properties last year, different stuff. We're doing creative stuff and then this year, we're probably going to do about to a little over 200 If I have to estimate right now, while running a virtual assistant company. So I do a bunch of different stuff.   Michael: That's awesome, I'm just curious, what's the typical tenure of a hockey professional hockey player?   Bob: It is about I have to I have to check the staff for probably four years maybe so you doubled it. So I double it, I double so I made I made it a pretty long time and I went to play four years here in the US and four years in Europe, which is pretty cool. So I got a little different experiences.   Michael: Oh, that's awesome. Okay, that was my own my own thoughts coming into play here. So okay, so you run now, you've done a lot of different things in the real estate space and now you're running a virtual assistant company specifically for that target, specifically real estate investors or virtual assistants for any type of book.   Bob: So any type of real estate professionals, so that would be mortgage companies, that would be you know, wholesalers rehabbers, short sale investors, you name it, we have a lot of property managers, real estate agents, brokers. So that runs the gamut on a lot of different real estate investing. We also have a branch that we started in the medical space as well, that has medical virtual assistants that does you know, insurance verifications prior authorizations, but that's a whole different podcast.   Michael: Okay, right on. So I'm curious to know…   Bob: I personally focus in on I handle and manage to focus in on real estate, since that's my specialty.   Michael: That's your space. Okay, cool. Well, I'm really curious about you know, when people are just getting started, or maybe they're already a seasoned investor, how do they know if a virtual assistant is right for them or when to make that leap or what kind of benefits they would see from using a virtual assistant as opposed to doing it all themselves?   Bob: Great question. The simple answer is when you get when you get very, very overwhelmed, when you start looking at your calendar, you look at your phone, like, oh, what do I do next, and you have all these tasks. You know, I like to say, if you do $10 an hour tasks, you're going to have a $10 an hour bank account, that's typically when you start looking at that stuff and it's really important to you know, start looking at your calendar every day and see what tasks would should you get off your plate first, you know, for me, personally, I look at the way real estate investing is right now and in you start looking at all the miniscule tax tasks that we need, we need a social media presence we need you know, that needs to be that's very important. So that's part of branding what you can outsource and get off your plate. Next is obviously lead generation. You know, whether it's text messaging cold calling, taking in seller leads writing offers, right? You start looking at exactly how that goes in your business and those are the things that you have to look at because think about this. If I if I want to go on a boat ride with you, I want to go see you I don't know if Mike if you have a boat on are you live in a great area? So let's say you have a boat.   Michael Albaum: Okay yeah, let's say that.   Bob: Let's say that or would you want to play golf, right or I want to play golf with you. You're in my area and Michael, let's play golf and if you're not in the office, who's making money for you, if you're working by yourself, right? Nobody, nobody's making those direct mail or nobody's making those cold calls that are needed to drive in seller leads. No one's running your soul. Social media, no one's text message, no one's doing those things that consistently need to happen, right for you to run a successful business, you have to be literally sitting in that seat all day long or guess what your, your, you know, you're not going to answer on the phone, if you and I want to go on vacation, right or you want to, you know, go on vacation with their spouse or your friends, it doesn't matter, who's gonna be answering those calls for you, as well. Very, very important to have somebody sitting in that seat that you can replace and put someone in their perfect virtual system.   Michael: Okay and what about for like, folks that are using investing, as a very, as a very traditional business model, the long term buy and hold investor, they're making that transition. Now their portfolio has grown to such a point where they're transitioning maybe from a full time job into real estate investing full time, but they're not flipping, they're not wholesaling. I mean, is there a space for them to take advantage of virtual assistants as well?   Bob: Absolutely, you can look at two sides. Again, if it's if they still, if they're still looking to build their portfolio, that's one kind of set of tasks. Then another side is admin tasks, right? On the property management side, it all depends if they manage properties themselves. So if you want to look at both of them on the acquisition side, you know, if they're in an area that is competitive, they're going to need someone to cold call to text message and take calls to answer calls, maybe to make MLS offers, right? Because you can look at it and every area is different. So if I'm investing in Toledo, let's say you can have, you could have an algorithm or you could have a what's the word I'm looking for, you could have, you could run your numbers on how you your numbers, go and buy and hold right? Cash flow, what the cost of your money is, etc., different in Toledo than it is in San Francisco than it is in San Diego than it is in Connecticut. So you can have your virtual assistant comb through the MLS, if you have access to and make MLS offers as well to find and acquire properties on top of course, you know, taking in direct mail calls, taking in PPC calls, outbound dialing, text messaging, things like that. So that's on that storefront, because if we want to build our portfolio, we need properties that fit whatever kind of box that we want, right? Maybe it is an area that's more appreciation over cash flow. I don't know everyone's different these days, you know, because some people want to put more down, right as a as a deposit, whereas some people want least amount, but get an area that has more cash flow, right? It all depends. On the other side of it, if you could pause me because I'm from Connecticut, sometimes when I get talking, I go pretty well.   Michael: This is great, man. This is awesome…   Bob: So, on the property management side of they can do anything from you know, taking in seller calls, I'll give you a perfect example. Today, we have a number of properties that we own and we get calls in from tenants that just want to vent, right? Well my lease that shows that you're going to find me all the apply new appliances every time something happens bla bla bla bla, now as a an owner of houses that beats you down. So if you can actually outsource that to a virtual assistant, the first line of defense, so now they say, hey, let me walk you through the lease that you signed and when they walk you through the lease that you signed, that'll take an hour of your day and if you have I mean, this is one individual now if you have, you know, 10 properties 15-20-30. That's just one little task, you know, you could do other stuff like turning on turning on utilities or getting utilities changed over, you know, talk if you have a property manager, if you want to deal with the tenants, and also the owners of the properties as well. So you could go through a laundry list, you get a leasing, lease renewals, we have a ton of property management, clients actually do a mix of different things.   Michael: That's awesome and what about kind of on the other end of that, or the opposite side of that coin for like life tasks that folks are doing because of real estate investors, you know, grocery shopping, scheduling, all that kind of stuff that doesn't actually have to do with real estate, but that stuff is all time consuming, and doesn't free you up to then go invest more. So our virtual assistants a good fit for those types of tasks as well.   Bob: Yeah, we have clients that use them as executive assistants as well, right to help with travel, right. There's little, there's other little niche industries as well as real estate investing, you got the financial industry, right. You know, you have to call to get more customers. So we have some clients that are actually sold that home solar companies because the upside of getting one solar client is huge. So they do a lot outbound dial in and say hey, and they have a whole solar pitch on top of that. So there's a lot of different tasks with calendar management to set up travel to things like that, that worked very, very well. We have, we have a client that has who I can't remember how many I think they're up to 10 Vas to have a flooring company that do different types of they do a lot of billing, invoicing and things like that. So those are really, really niche tasks that you know, if you look at whatever your business is that you can outsource.   Michael: Okay, okay, cool, because I mean, it's been something an idea that I've been flirting with personally, the problem that I have is it's really difficult for me to identify, okay, what's something that I have to do versus what's something that I could outsource to someone else? Do you have any good tips or tricks, or exercises that someone can go through to kind of sort and filter through? Okay, this is a me task, or this is a someone else task?   Bob: Absolutely, what I would do is I would take three months for this or three weeks for this exercise, very simple. Okay, what you do is you have a, you have a piece of paper, and then you write down all of the things that you do in three weeks, start with one week, of course, but then go to the next week, next week, then…   Michael: Including, like, brush my teeth and go into the bathroom. No, no, I can leave. You could   Bob: if you want, that's okay. That's gonna be task. That's right, that's a huge source that yeah, oh, and then what you do is you take a line of paper, you put non producing tasks and producing tasks, and all the non or non-producing tasks, you're gonna put on one side, and those are typically the stuff that you could outsource, you know, as a real estate investor, what I look at, I look at as you know, the, the non-producing tasks for me is sitting on the phone all day long to call cold leads. So what I mean by that is, if you get if you download a list to whatever, list provider you use, right, Michael, and then you get them skip traced and if I'm the first person who's calling them all day long, right, that's a non-producing task. That's what you should do, too, for a virtual assistant to do get that off your plate, because then you could be working on all of the purchasing tasks, whether it's raising private money, whether it's sitting down with a bank, or sitting down with agents sitting down with other investors, right? Maybe you're going to if you're a buy and hold investor and you want to buy properties, you're better off, you know, having your virtual assistant, Google all of the investors in your area, and then calling them saying, Hey, you want to have lunch? I'm a buyer. I'm a buyer. I'm a buyer, right? That's just a little idea that we do in our office that works very well.   Michael: That is a great idea. I never thought about that. All right, cool and all of this, I mean, it just sounds expensive. But what's like the realistic cost? Is there, is there such a thing as like a generic cost or can we put $1 per hour cost on it or does it really depend on the industry and the task and all that sort of thing?   Bob: You know, we've tried every different model, we just do part time and full time, 20 hours a week and 40 hours a week, and we keep it a standard $10.60 an hour, you know, you start looking at what minimum wages and a lot of these areas, you know that in California, I'm in Connecticut, it seems to go up every day, and I cannot find a four year college educated individual my area for $10.60 an hour and all of our virtual assistants in the Philippines are college educated, you know, they've been in the industry, they're very, very seasoned. So it's just separates a lot of what's going on here in the United States to other countries.   Michael: Okay, I love it and what's the startup kind of ramp up time for someone once you decide to start working with a virtual assistant to get them really producing and doing the things that that we're asking them to do?   Bob: Very good question. So what we do is we actually recruit and train virtual assistants. So if you if you raise your hand, Michael, you say, hey, I want to start with a virtual assistant today to cold call, I don't know. So what we do is on the front end, we do. So we have a sourcing recruiting team in the Philippines and then we have a training team. So they train for about three to four weeks. So once they get through our, our screening process from application to checking out exactly if they have the right systems to their English proficiency and they pass, they have to take a little test and then go on to our training team. So if they pass through training, right, they take another test, then they do predictive indexing, so checks, Disc profile predictive index and so what we do is we check out a little bit of a profile of what they have, and of course, all of their all of their past experience. So now as soon as they get through our training, now we look at every time we have a sale, it's almost like match.com, that gets to our placements team and our placements team looks at the predictive index the disc profiling and matches that particular resume profile with the tasks of what that individual investor wants. So it's like match.com, we match a VA virtual assistant with the individual, as soon as they match up, right? What we do is we put, we give three different individuals to where you Michael could interview, because not everyone might feel that they're compatible. So as soon as it goes to placements, the match.com puts them into three different puts them with three different individuals. At that point, you pick who you feel is most compatible for you and then you go to our operations team, which you also get with at 1060. You also get a what we like to call a client service manager who helps manage the relationship between yourself and the virtual system. We have a lot of clients that come on say hey, you know, Bob, I want to start first with one full time virtual assistant and all of a sudden the VA does fantastic listen, I want to add another one, I want to add another one in the client service manager handles all of that they also handle all the HR and if there's any other questions that you need, they'll help with some training, too. If you want to add in extra training, there's a laundry list of things that the client service manager helps with, too, which is included in in that 1060.   Michael: Okay, awesome. So it sounds like the kind of ramp up process to actually get started is significant on your end of the of the equation for me as the end user.   Bob: So to answer your question, it will take about a week.   Michael: Yeah, okay.   Bob: Exactly, it will take less than a week. So to answer your question, yeah.   Michael: Cool and then what have you seen, from your experience, and from your clients experience with how long it takes that the VA to really start producing? Because what I'm asking for is a very specific thing, I need them to do this in a very specific order. So does that take another month? What have you seen in that in that regard?   Bob: So I would take from zero to 30 days is it's kind of like, you know, if you hire someone in your office, how long does it take for that individual, we just hired a sales manager, as an example, in our office that is in our office, we give him about 30 days to get stepped up and rent. Okay. So, you know, think about this, to learn what kind of system you have, we have to train them on pulling down lists, skip tracing whatever task that we want them to do, because in you know, this, you know, working with working in Roofstock Academy, you know, you have a client's may come in, you have 80% of the individuals that will run a business the same way, but it's the 20% that makes the magic, right? They'll start changing. You're from the Bay Area. I'm from Connecticut. So we will all learn the same program, right? You'll be my coach, I'll learn the same thing that somebody learns from in your backyard, but it's that 20% that I have to change because it's my backyard. I may be a wholesaler, not a rehabber. Yeah, right. I may be a buy and hold investor and not a rehabber. So it's those 20% things. I look at it the same way, that same thing with virtual assistants. So they're gonna have to learn probably about 20%. That's unique to you. You may use a different CRM, you may use a different skip tracer, it, but that's a small little part of it.   Michael: Okay and that makes total sense and Bob, how do I communicate with my virtual assistant? Am I texting them on my on WhatsApp and my email, am I calling them, how does that work or is it really up to me and the VA to figure that out for ourselves or is there kind of a standard communication tool.   Bob: That's up to you, that's up to you. Yeah. So that's up to you. So I have so I have learned how many bas are used now on our own business. We have cold callers, text messengers, data scrapers, skip trace, we have a bunch of them. So I have, I have Viber RingCentral. Those are my two main things that I use. So it's Viber is just like a WhatsApp.   Michael: Yeah. So same, I used to get made fun of so much for telling some of that I still use Viber. Like, dude, welcome in 2005 and whatever, man, it works, well, like, get off my back.   Bob: I like it, it's my phone I got I'm like, yeah, it's very, very nice. Yeah and it works is that we also have a Slack channel tool that we use. So okay, so whatever the client wants to use, we use it. So we'll train on how to use that specific tool for them, so it's very simple is up and running right away.   Michael: Okay, awesome. Man, this is so cool. I've got I've got to do some more exploring. What would you say, are some of like the big mistakes that people make when they're just getting started so that other people or listeners can avoid that they can learn from others?   Bob: Yeah, one of the biggest ones is, you know, we have some clients that come in and say, Listen, I just want my virtual assistant to run my business and I'm like, listen, it's an assistant want a virtual assistant run my business, too. Yeah, it's a virtual assistant, it's not a, it's not your business owner, get a partner if you want someone to run your business, so that that one's very, very important. And set proper expectations. I think that's important to where, you know, virtual assistants are great at lead generation, I hear people say, Well, I want my VA to go from A to Z and close the deal and I'm like, that is not realistic, because who's going to go meet the seller who's going to who's going to actually walk them through the process in the end, right? It's very, very important, because they're big about this, Michael Jordan, it's your real estate business, right? They are buying you, you get the lead in and if you have a team that is there, then they're buying your company and your Acquisition Manager or rep, right. So the virtual assistants are fantastic at doing tasks like lead generation, they could write up contracts, they could do transaction coordinator, they could do all that. But getting the actual deal closed, it's ours. It's my job as a business owner to do that, right. So I think those two things, as I see are very, very challenging pr some misconceptions out there because they may have heard a podcast and you're like, oh, you know, I'd be exactly go A to Z. Please call me and let me know that business 2004 I've tried everything and it hasn't worked for me. Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but I'm open to hear so anyone ever heard of that? Please give me a call, give me my number.   Michael: That's great, that's great and we I mean, you kind of touched on it already, but I'm curious. If someone I mean, how I'm thinking about this for myself is just kind of having a VA take care a lot of the life stuff that I've got the scheduling that sort of thing. Where have you seen, I guess, in thinking about it from that frame, what are tasks that are not a great fit for a VA.   Bob: Like I said, closing the transaction, right being your closer your head closer, you should either, you know, have a trained individual in house being your head closer, I would say that is first and foremost. So look at that. And that's really important. Everything else that you could do over a phone. Because think about this, your head closer is an individual that has a personality trait that is in 100% sales. Now, I don't know if it is in your area to find, you know, a killer salesperson. But sometimes it's difficult in different parts of the area in the United States, right. So outsourcing that to a different country, I found that that is the most difficult part to do, if you want to have a virtual assistant do that. So I would put that on the tippity top and it's really, really important that people know that because, you know, think about this, there's a lot of listeners that are either working part time or full time, right, that are listening to this podcast that want a VA to do A to Z, you are going to have to help with the closing side of it. If you want. If you want to be successful in real estate investing, and you want to get out of the rat race over here, you will need to focus in on that niche for you personally, you know, we have sales training, I pay for sales training every single, every single Tuesday and Thursday, we have our team and our on sales training costs 1000 bucks a month, right on just that one little niche alone. So think about that, and you know, within your business, so.   Michael: Yeah, that makes total sense. But what if we shift the focus instead of like thinking about it from a sales and funnel, like a business perspective, if I'm having a VA help schedule, doctor's appointments and shopping, that sort of thing? You mentioned it before anything that can be done over a phone is a totally appropriate thing to have a VA do?   Bob: 100%! So if you want help with it depends how many doctor appointments you have, right? It depends. You have to, you have to make sure it also you have to definitely make sure and this is this is what's really, really important, right? You have different companies out there that have different packages, like if you want someone for only a couple hours a week, go to Upwork like that is a place that you could find a VA yourself, right? It's very inexpensive. If you want specific tasks done for your real estate business, I would say go to a company like mine, right? Because it's really written for that's why I've cut I've tried the 10 hour, I've tried the five hour I've tried, you know, the hourly, it's very difficult for any company like mine that has a whole system and process set up at the beginning with the management of your VA in the back end to do, you know, five hours or 10 hours. That's why we specifically cut it down from 20 to 40 hours and it just makes sense. So if you're a bit so if your question is, if you want someone five to 10 hours, I would 100% go to a company like Upwork and they're the best for that particular kind of roles. If you're looking for that, does that make sense?   Michael: It makes total sense, it makes total sense and something that I'm constantly struggling with about getting a VA for myself is like sensitivity, the sensitivity of information, bank accounts, credit card numbers, social security numbers, I mean, so much of what we do in the real estate space requires that kind of stuff, is those are those types of phone calls appropriate to have a VA do and what kind of I guess accountability is there in the VA space in general.   Bob: This is the way I always put it. I'm not willing to get my credit card anybody like and this is just this is just, it's really, really important, right? I'm not gonna go out there. I know, if I have a credit limit of X amount of money. I'm not going to give my credit card anybody, right? I think it's really, really important that's sensitive. Like for me personally, I've never had to get into a situation where I gave my virtual assistant, my credit card, and it was sent over, right sent over somewhere, what the best thing to do is saying, hey, have my virtual assistant send me the link that needs that sensitive information, right. Some people you know, I've heard, you know, not my company, but I've heard probably the same thing you had, well, they took my information. I'm like, well, you know, you should never give somebody that type of information because that's our you know, that's information for us. So the best way to offset what you're asking because that's a fantastic question is have them do all of that research and send you that one link that's gonna take you two minutes anyway to put your information we've probably ever pre populated on our computer anyway, right? This is what credits gonna say.   Michael: Yeah, it's a click. Yeah, yep.   Bob: So just in that's the best way I can I can answer that because it's really important. It's my responsibility to protect my own data as well. So I guess that's the best way to explain.   Michael: Yeah, no, that makes a ton of sense. That makes no sense and great answer. Well, I liked it anyway. I think it's a great answer. Bob, this has been this has been so much fun, man. What's the best way for people to get in touch with you, learn more about your company take advantage of the services you offer, how can they do that?   Bob: Absolutely. You can find me on Facebook, check out our website, which is https://revaglobal.com/ , R E V A global.com, like I said, catch me on Facebook. My email address is bob@revaglobal.com , you could get right to me on our website, if you want to sign up for a strategy session, there's a button right on our website, click on it, you could talk to our admissions team to see if it's the right fit for you.

So whatever kind of question you have, for our team can help. That's fantastic, if we're right fit, that'd be fantastic, work for it.   Michael: Love it.
