It’s Time To Get Out Of The House!

Tuesday, May 11th, 2010

I simply had to share this blog post of Tina’s - you’ll understand why when you watch it.

For years, the biggest question we have received from Virtual Assistants is “How Do I Find Clients?”

While there’s no magic formula … there are several key strategies to finding clients — Tina shares just one of them with  us, as well as a ‘challenge’ to get your butt out the door.

How to Know Who NOT To Hire — Hot Skills Business Building Series

Thursday, October 1st, 2009

The goal for Virtual Assistants is to build a great business, with great clients and great revenue — right?

In some cases, we’re so focussed on attracting new clients and supporting them that we don’t consider that there are clients we should NOT be hiring.

For years, the team here at VirtuallySuccessful.com has spoken with Virtual Assistants about how to attract great clients — essentially, how to decide on a target market and pick the ideal client you would like to work with. It’s our own business so we should be working with the people we love to work with …. right?

Unfortunately so many of us in this great community are choosing to work with the wrong clients … clients who make us miserable, don’t pay the bills, demand too much and ultimately exhaust us.

Knowing how to recognize these ‘wrong’ clients is almost more

important than knowing how to find the right clients!

We want to help Virtual Assistants work with the best clients out there - ones that are respectful, pay their bills, appreciate and ultimately, treat you like a valued member of the team. And to be able to say ‘no thanks’ to the rest.

So how do you know which clients should you NOT hire?

Ever Wonder Why You’re Not Getting Hired?

Thursday, August 27th, 2009

“How Do I Find Clients” is the #1 question we receive from virtual assistants.
In fact, it’s the whole reason why Cindy wrote her book “Virtually Successful: 8 Simple Ways to Find (and Keep) Clients.”

Are you talking to potential new clients but still not getting hired? There is nothing more frustrating than connecting with a client that you KNOW needs help… and yet they still don’t take the step to actually hire you.

There are numerous reasons why you may or may not be getting hired by these business owners. Some reasons are directly related to the client’s readiness and some reasons are related to the way a VA has (or has not) demonstrated to the client that they really are the perfect person to work with.

It’s so critical that we do everything we can to fully educate ourselves about our potential client and also demonstrate our professionalism to our
potential clients. It’s about Business Mindset …. you must prove to them that you are a professional business owner who understands their business, their needs and how you can help them reach their goals.

We’ve put together a checklist for you, adapted from Cindy’s book … use it to make sure you’re doing everything in your power to eliminate obstacles that may stand in the way of you working with great clients.
