research outsourcing is a good idea
Research is one of the areas where virtual assistants can be extremely helpful. Done thoroughly, research can be extremely timeconsuming and sometimes overwhelming. Whether it is finding new leads, looking up industry trends or comparing different markets or products, research is essential to stay ahead of the curve. However, it is important to define and gather certain information before one starts to look into a topic.
1. Understand your business
In order for us to be able to deliver a satisfying result we have to understand your business first. We need to get to know you and the services or products you offer. What are your specific goals? What is the time frame? And which market are you targeting? If you do not have thought about all of this yet, we can define required values and numbers together. Once we know what to focus on we can do the actual work.
2. Define the Objective of the research
What do you want to achieve with your action and what results are you actually looking for? The answer should be somewhat narrowed down. Otherwise the results obtained are generic and not detailed enough to actually be helpful and drive your business further.
3. Gather significant data
With a set goal in mind the research can begin. Different sources are used to answer different questions. Whether combing through articles on the internet to reading yearly reports from other companies in the same industry or analyzing data that is available within your business structure – we use and know different research tools in order to get the best result possible.
4. organizing and analyzing data
Once we have gathered data, it’s time to organize and analyze it. This involves going through the obtained information and identifying trends and patterns relevant to the initial question. It’s important to organize the data in a way that makes it easy for you to understand and use. We can use spreadsheets, charts and other tools depending on your preference.
5. Communicating the research results
Finally it is time for the results, you receive a final research report. A report consists of a summary that highlights the most important information as well as all information gathered in detail. In addition we will gladly convey the results as a presentation as we have extensive experience using Microsoft Power Point.
