What does The Appointment Biz do?

• The Appointment Biz helps salespeople develop and maintain client relationships by providing administrative assistance, productivity coaching, and software training. Our scheduling service is the biggest seller.
• We help create a more balanced work week for our clients.
• We develop a long-term and collaborative partnership that improves with time.

What is a Virtual Assistant (VA)?

• A VA provides any sort of assistance to another person or business without having to be physically present in the client's location.

What will I be doing as an Appointment Biz subcontractor?

• Subcontractors manage the daily appointment schedule and assist in managing movement through the client’s territory.

Why do our clients use The Appointment Biz versus an individual VA?

• The Appointment Biz has been providing service to busy salespeople in the financial service industry since 1997. We train technologically proficient individuals who have at least five years executive administrative experience to use the systems we have developed to support salespeople. Subcontractors are assigned clients and develop a long-term collaborative relationship that becomes stronger as time passes.
• We work with a number of subcontractors and have created a team to support one another when needed. Our clients enjoy consistent service from their assigned scheduler and back-up from the team when needed.
• We get twice as much done in half the time because we know our niche. The financial services industry is our focus; we understand compliance issues, what it means to be a wholesaler, and how to best support our client’s sales efforts.

Why would I want to work as a subcontractor for The Appointment Biz instead of working on my own?

• The Appointment Biz takes care of marketing, sales, and accounting. All you need to do is work and turn in your hours. The advantage of being self-employed and working at home with the added simplicity is the benefit our subcontracts appreciate the most.
• We work with a number of subcontractors and have created a team to support one another when needed. After training, you work independently with your client and the Front Office is always here to offer support, ideas, and a team spirit.
