At WorkBetterNow® (WBN), we started with one simple belief: every business owner should have an assistant. Over time, that idea expanded to executives, startup founders, and salespeople—all leveraging assistants to free up their time, increase productivity, and achieve greater success. 

Virtual assistants (VAs) have become indispensable for sales professionals, helping them delegate time-consuming tasks and focus on what truly drives results: building relationships and closing deals. 

Virtual Assistants Give Salespeople More Time to Sell 

Sales professionals thrive when they’re selling, but the reality is that most of their day isn’t spent doing what they’re best at. On average, sales professionals dedicate just 28% of their time to selling, with the rest consumed by administrative tasks such as managing CRMs, creating proposals, data entry, scheduling, research, and other non-revenue-generating activities. 

This is where virtual assistants make a significant impact. By delegating these tasks to a capable VA, salespeople can reclaim their time and focus on closing deals. 

Here’s the math: if a VA takes 50% of your workload, your sales potential theoretically increases by the same amount. Imagine gaining 20 extra hours each week to sell or strategize—how would that transform your results? 

Top-performing salespeople understand this equation, and many invest in assistants out of their own pockets because they know the ROI is undeniable. 

Virtual Assistants Keep Salespeople Focused 

The modern buyer’s journey demands availability and responsiveness from sales professionals. However, being bogged down by admin work often makes salespeople unavailable when it matters most. 

With a VA managing CRMs, handling paperwork, and even fielding client calls, salespeople can remain present for critical client interactions, ensuring deals close without delays. 

At WBN, we’ve seen our clients use virtual assistants to tackle projects, onboard clients, and even expand into new markets. By freeing themselves from the day-to-day grind, sales professionals gain the bandwidth to identify new opportunities, refine strategies, and deliver innovative solutions. 

Client Success Story: 

“We were deep in the weeds doing all the things that prevented us from speaking, teaching, and onboarding new clients. Carmen [our WBN assistant] changed all that.” - Larry Levine, WBN Client and author of Selling From the Heart
