Introduction

Dear ______________________,

Thank you for the opportunity to work with you. This looks like an exciting and stimulating project.

To recap our recent meeting, the problems you're facing are:

 General admin duties are bogging you down most days, taking up your time, thus holding you
back and stopping you driving your business forward.
 You’re feeling a certain level of stress and frustration from this which seems to be increasing
week on week - hence you making the decision to seek assistance.
 We agreed you’d like help in the following areas: blog post editing, posting to social media,
inbox management, diary management and data cleansing.
 This proposal sets out a solution for you.

When we work together, you’ll experience the following changes in your work life…and some of these
improvements will obviously spill over into your personal life. All are good!

Take a look:

 Less on your mind

 Improved satisfaction
 Decreased anxiety
 Happier in general
 More productive
 Engage with more clients
 Get more repeat business
 Have the time to make more referrals requests
 Spend more time promoting your business
 Respond to new sales enquiries faster
 Increase your conversion rates
 Get more new clients
 Increase your income
 Ability to take more time off
 Enjoy your holidays without checking emails every 2 hours and making 6 calls a day.

2. What I’ll Do
BLOG POSTS

Whether you write your own posts and want me to edit and post them,
or prefer me to write some for you, producing content is vital for a number of reasons; it gets you
thinking, connects with prospects,
sells your services, demonstrates your expertise and gets new content onto the internet.
I’ll ensure you know when you should be posting and stick to your schedule. These posts will then be
promoted by reposting elsewhere
to drive traffic back to your blog and engage suitable individuals.

SOCIAL MEDIA

Regardless of your current social media activity level, my aim is for you to become more prolific online
so that you’re seen as a stand-out candidate in your field.

If you’re going to take part in social media, make it count and do it properly. This means I’ll ensure
you’re posting new content each
and every day, replying to people commenting on your posts. Liking and Following back where relevant,
replying to direct messages, finding new Followers, Unfollowing non-Followers and getting involved in
conversations in order to meet people online.

Anyone can post on social media, it’s creating the content that’s the difficult part. That’s why, I believe,
you see a lot of pointless and irrelevant Re-Tweeting and Sharing. It underlines that you have nothing to
say.
You must have original and fresh content.

I can deliver this for you and offer you a service over 3 levels:

1. Having the idea and writing the words for a post

2. Creating a post by combining imagery, words your logo
3. Posting the content to your desired target platforms daily.

EMAIL INBOX MANAGEMENT

This is a never-ending, thankless and demoralising task.

The amount of time wasted sorting through real email and spam seems to grow. Then the real emails
have different priorities.
Everyone forgets to reply to some emails too.

I have developed a method of Email Inbox Management over 8-years and you can benefit from this.

If we go forward together, all you will have to do is answer the most vital of your emails once a day and
the less important emails once every 3 days [I send them a standard reply that you’ll be getting back to
them on a given date]. This means you would then only need to attend to your email inbox 8 times a
week and only deal with the emails that come from me. Nothing will ever be forgotten or missed again.

DIARY MANAGEMENT

Time is money. Your time is your money. You never get time back and diary errors are not just
embarrassing when another person is involved, they’re costly too. You’ll benefit from my extensive diary
and calendar management practices. This will make you more time efficient.
After 2-3 months I’d hope we’d introduce some potent time-saving tools into your work week.

DATA CLEANSING

One of the most valuable assets a business possesses is the client list.

If this information is out of date, it’s underutilised, undervalued and takes longer to achieve your aim
when using it.

Soon [and ongoing] you’ll have an up to date list of clients/contact details contact history and purchase
history.

3. Plan of Action

After you sign this proposal, there is a follow-up call where I gather certain vital information necessary
for me to begin working for you.

Allow 3 days after this for me to put a tight-knit timeline of goals together.

I’ll obviously require access to your CRM, social media accounts, email, Google Calendar/iCal and
website/blog.

Week 1 is the setup week.

Week 2 we find our way into you and your systems and get comfortable.

Week 3 we’ll be ready to function wholly.

4. Case Study
Meet Robert

THE PROBLEM

Bob runs a marketing business and found it impossible to carry out

paid work for existing clients, find new work and new clients whilst maintaining his business
administration duties.

These are issues all business owners face.

SOLUTION AND OUTCOME

Bob and I agreed on a set of practices and he delegated ten hours a week of his admin and
management tasks.

Which meant...
Bob is now able to concentrate on giving his existing clients the attention they deserve; building
stronger and deeper relationships with them.
He is getting more out of his clients in terms of frequency of sale,
value-of-sale and this extra focus has opened up further referral opportunities.

In short, more time, less stress, better income and a big smile!

A FEW WORDS FROM BOB

"Initially, our goal was to reduce my workload by 10 hours per week, but by delegating the related
tasks to ____, I actually ended up saving closer to 15 hours as well as strengthening the relationships
with my existing clients and having the time to focus on additional revenue. Amazing!"

5. Your Investment

WHY I'M DIFFERENT

Many VA firms charge an hourly rate and many users find this open to abuse. I don't work that way.

I work by arranging a set fee per job and getting it done. It's that simple.

THE DEAL

BLOG POSTS

 Blog writing [to include research] - £7 per 100 words

 Proofreading and editing your blog posts - £5 per 100 words
 Posting blog posts and promotion - £25 per post

SOCIAL MEDIA

This is based on 20 social media posts per calendar month:

 Coming up with the idea and writing the words - £100/mo

 Creating and designing the actual post - £100/mo
 Posting the posts on two social media platforms - £100/mo
 If you take all 3 services - £250/mo

EMAIL INBOX MANAGEMENT

The fee for this will be based on the volume of emails that need sorting through.

 An average client with a business of your size will be looking at approximately - £75 a week.
DIARY MANAGEMENT

This integrates with your Email Inbox Management programme. Obviously, a lot of emails can be dealt
with by arranging a meeting or scheduling a callback, both which will be added to your online calendar.

 Up to 35 calendar visits - £45/mo

DATA CLEANSING

 Looking after your CRM in terms of updating client contact detail changes (contact history/sales
history) - £45-£85/mo

6. Your Guarantee
YES. REALLY.

I'm experienced in what I do and I want you to have 100% trust in that.

So, provided you have supplied me with what I need to perform the task and upheld your end of the
bargain, then if I don't deliver within one working day of the deadline, you don't pay for it. That's pretty
much it

You can read the full details in the 'Terms and Conditions'.
