Sales Assistants Salaries
how can i choose a good assistant in Real Estate sales?
I have my own business selling properties and I am trying to find an assistant. I am not sure if i should offer a salary or commission, and how i can train someone in order to help me, without “stealing” business from me.
I disagree. I think an entrepreneurial spirit is a great benefit for your business. What you don’t need is someone that brings no fresh ideas to your business.
Consider using a professional virtual assistant. If you select a VA with a real estate background you will have the benefit of experience without the need to train from the “ground up.” You can also locate the TYPE of assistance you need by selecting one or more virtual professionals — and pay only for the time you actually need the help.
It will lower your in-office expenses, your overhead, your taxes, etc.
You won’t need to worry about the business theft concern, since most of the work will be done offsite, probably out of your geographic region, by remote delivery (electronic delivery) and by a professional dedicated to a career in assisting. Basically, they don’t want to take your business, they just want to help you to succeed, as a partner in your success.
Good help is always hard to find — onsite or offsite. Take the time needed to properly interview any person you take on as an employee or a contractor. Check references. Be picky.
