"Kindly read the above YT video description for instructions with links on how to use the app on your phone."
*Please note that both communication training and product knowledge training have different modes in the app. Communication training focuses on enhancing your communication skills, while product knowledge training provides in-depth information about the product. Both skills are essential for success. While a buyer will not be impressed by communication skills alone, you also won't be able to convince a buyer with just technical knowledge. Therefore, choose your training modes wisely as indicated in the above screenshot, and complete both trainings one by one*

Exporter: That's interesting. I often receive calls from several B2B portals promising advance payment buyers or deals.
BO: Remember, we are not like those B2Bs who want to take your money and finally provide you with nothing. There are no shortcuts. You can use our AI app for free to train yourself and your team with advanced knowledge and communication skills. Only if you are considering developing a team for your export business, it is a great idea to think about hiring a Virtual Assistant (VA) because it contributes to effective team building.
Exporter: What is the difference between hired staff in the organization and a VA suggested by BO?
BO: Nice question. You can hire or train your staff, but you might not have access to several paid portals with authentic databases. Unlike B2B portals where inquiries might be fake and unfiltered, these databases offer genuine, regular buyers. However, you need to convince them, and for that, a trained VA is required. Moreover, VAs do not work alone; they operate as part of a team. For instance, one VA might handle data scraping, another manages social media and SEO, and another focuses on cold calling. Essentially, you pay for one VA but benefit from the expertise of 3 to 4 professionals. Additionally, you gain access to numerous paid subscriptions for data and social media posts.
Exporter: So, can we get trained VAs, and what do we as exporters need to provide them?
BO: Generally, a VA would have almost everything, such as access to international calling facilities, buyers' databases, etc with knowledge of the EXIM industry. They can bring buyers to your table, and it’s a much cheaper option compared to hiring full-time staff. Remember, having a buyer at the table does not mean the deal is done. It takes two hands to clap. As an exporter, you need to provide proper support related to your products and necessary information as required by your buyer or VA. We at BO will provide you with the consultation.
Exporter: What commission needs to be paid to a VA?
BO: VAs do not charge any commission; they work for a fixed fee like a monthly salary, which is usually 50% lower than regular salaries. Your deals are directly with the clients on safe terms like LC or advance. After your successful deals, you can choose to continue with or remove the VA.
Exporter: What is the scope of work for a VA?
BO: Virtual Assistants (VAs) are professionals, akin to Chartered Accountants (CAs) or Company Secretaries (CSs), who work remotely and provide daily reports on their activities. Their responsibilities can include cold calling, emailing, managing social media, SEO (Search Engine Optimization), meeting with buyers, communicating with buyers, conference video calls, e-commerce, comprehensive market or product research reports, export-import costing, documentation, banking and various other tasks tailored to your business needs and the specific skills of the VA you hire. You can discuss your goals with us, and based on your requirements, we can provide you with a Virtual Assistant (VA) tailored to meet your specific business needs.
Exporter: I can only hire a VA if they commit to fixed deals.
BO: You can start learning for free with the BO AI app and decide later when to hire a VA. VAs, like your staff, cannot commit to deals. Beware of any scheme promising guaranteed deals for money. If you want to work with advance payments or LC, you need to win the buyers' hearts. This is possible only if your organization develops its products, understands its USPs, and addresses buyers' needs. You can start learning all this for free using the BO AI app.
Exporter: Can I get a demo or more info about VAs, and how to pay them?
BO: Yes, our team will directly provide you with the contacts of VAs after understanding your requirements. You can directly negotiate and pay them monthly; we do not get involved in the payment process between the Exporter (You) and the VA. We are training VAs and providing you with their contacts to strengthen your team. You can work with them for a few months to gain practical knowledge and insights about the trade via doing deals. If the collaboration proves beneficial and productive, you may consider extending it for a longer duration.
