Last week we talked about 4 big mistakes that VAs make when they are getting started or trying to get clients. This week I have 4 more for you! When I started the list last week, I realized that there was too much for just one sitting, so I broke it up to make it more manageable for you. And honestly, there are probably even more mistakes I could list but as much as I want to help you correct these mistakes, I prefer to balance the negative slant that a lot of people take when teaching or coaching. I hope you find the next four mistakes (and their fixes) helpful: Finding a client, then setting up their VA business… Read More »4 More Big Mistakes Virtual Assistants Make

4 Big Mistakes Virtual Assistants Make

February 6, 2023March 8, 2023

Virtual assistants are in demand now more than ever – small business owners need us to help them run their businesses. Freshbooks states that 66% of small businesses will outsource services to other small businesses. Naturally this is a good statistic for Virtual Assistants! We know we are in demand. We know that there are many clients out there that want to work with us. And we definitely want to work with those clients. But because a lot of Virtual Assistants make mistakes when they begin working with clients, far too many of them don’t stay in business long term. I want to talk about eight of the big mistakes VAs make – in this post I’ll start with 4!… Read More »4 Big Mistakes Virtual Assistants Make

Getting clients for your VA business isn’t difficult. Wait, what? I know what you’re thinking! You have been struggling with getting VA clients. It’s not easy. I must be wrong. But I’m not wrong.

How I Got My First VA Client

April 6, 2022February 24, 2023

If you are still struggling to get that first client (or that first great client), this is what you need to do. One of the things many Virtual Assistants struggle with is getting their first client. There is so much anxiety around getting clients – especially that first one – that we can often be overcome and get paralyzed. And nothing happens. We try to adjust our services. We try to adjust our rates. We apply for countless RFPs and hear nothing back. Or worse yet, we take any work someone offers us because we don’t want to miss out on money – and we hate it. The one thing that VAs who are struggling to get great clients are… Read More »How I Got My First VA Client

Setting Goals to Find Virtual Assistant Clients

If you are struggling to find clients for your VA business, it could be the way you are going about it that just needs a little work. I talked to a VA this week that was trying to connect with potential clients, but she wasn’t having any luck. She didn’t have a real plan or strategy. She didn’t have a goal. And as a result, she was spending a lot of time, getting nowhere. Setting goals is a really helpful way to make finding clients easier. How does it work? When you set a goal, you create a focus – a target that you can follow – and follow up on. Goal setting is much like a roadmap. If you… Read More »Setting Goals to Find Virtual Assistant Clients

First impressions matter, in every relationship – but especially in business. When a client has paid you money or agreed to work with you, their expectations kick into gear immediately. If you aren’t providing a great first impression, you could be losing a bit of your client’s trust before you even start working together. Have you developed a great onboarding process for your new clients? If you haven’t, I have some great tips for you. Your process for onboarding clients should be all about clarity and communication. 1. Send a welcome letter or email. Once a client agrees to work with you, clearly outline what comes next for them. Be succinct in your emails – try not to get too… Read More »Create an Onboarding Process for Your VA Clients

Industries That Use Virtual Assistants (Hint: Find Clients Here)

Whether you are just starting out as a Virtual Assistant, or you have been in business a while, you might be struggling to find great clients. When you are new, it is hard enough to talk to people about your services and your rates. One of the biggest barriers to getting great clients is very simple: talking to the wrong people. We second-guess our value and we often have a hard time articulating our worth to people when they don’t really understand what a VA is. If the people you talk to also have never heard of a VA (or have never worked with one), your conversations with them start at a much more ‘beginning’ point than they might with… Read More »Industries That Use Virtual Assistants (Hint: Find Clients Here)
