How Virtual Assistant Can Help Your E-Commerce Business Stand Out

Managing an E-commerce business is almost the same as managing Brick-and-Mortar, which is the traditional means of offering products and services to customers in a store. In a physical store, the role of a sales personnel is to contribute and increase productivity in the business via sales, data entry, invoicing, and other related tasks.

They manage and ensure a smooth day-to-day running of the store; running an e-commerce business is no different. A virtual assistant ensures that your online store is organised, accessible to customers, and easy to navigate and shop effortlessly.

So, are you planning to open an online business?  Do you have one already but finding it difficult to manage? Do you find yourself stuck on responding to so many inquiries? Do you have a hard time recording your transactions as you sell? 

In this article, we will examine some of the ways a virtual assistant can help your e-commerce business stand out, and they are:

• Managing Orders and Invoicing

Research has it that many business owners lost 20 days in a year chasing delayed payments. Why waste so much time when you can easily delegate this task to a virtual assistant? 

We live in a digital world and there are so many automated tools that help with processing orders and generating invoices for online businesses. A growing business automatically translates to growing orders and invoices to manage. It is time-consuming and can be quite overwhelming. 

From sending reminders to clients, to creating invoices, tracking payments, and paying bills on time; hiring a virtual assistant for your growing e-commerce business is your best solution to organising your e-commerce business, making it stand out, and attracting more customers. 

• Writing and Proofreading Proposal 

A good proposal can make or mar your business sales negotiation. Hiring a virtual assistant who is skilled in copywriting and sales can boost the success of your business proposal. It saves you the trouble of products and competitors’ research, thereby creating more time to focus on strategic planning and expansion.

Also, a virtual assistant is skilled in proofreading your proposal, making necessary amendments, and tracking successful and unsuccessful proposals. In the long run, you become more conversant with what works or not for your business. 

• Sales Administrative Support

One of the general and the most popular services virtual assistants provide is administrative support; sales administration is not far-fetched from their tasks. Some of the tasks an e-commerce virtual assistant can carry out include: 

• Writing product descriptions 
• Listing available items on your online store 
• Responding to customers’ inquiries either by email or phone 
• Researching products and vendors 
• Processing customers’ feedback 
• Sales recording and report
