How can a Virtual Assistant help me?

I attend a weekly BNI meeting and have got to know the chapter members with a couple of them signed up for my services. However, it is always difficult to get across exactly how a Virtual Assistant can help.

During a conversation with 2 members (with one of them being my client), I was explaining that it was difficult to explain exactly how I can help but gave them some examples. My client then said in wonder "can you really do that?". I then proceeded to tell them that it was really important to have one to one meetings with members to tell them what I do and educate them in order to pass quality referrals.

So what do we do? We help people make more money by freeing up their time working as a Virtual Assistant. We do this by providing professional secretarial and administrative solutions to a range of clients. Some non recognised areas we can help include:

• Management of newsletters - this could be writing your newsletter to distributing it
• Internet marketing - SEO, passive income, affiliate programme monitoring, Blogs
• Accounts support - creating and sending out invoices, accounts organisation, payment facilities
• Marketing support - mail shots, follow up calls, advertising co-ordination
• Time management - create systems and processes to organise people and businesses

As you can see, most people would not be able to associate some of these tasks with your Virtual Assistant. That is why we like to talk to potential clients and ask them to draw up a list of tasks that they don't like / have time to complete etc. We then look at the list and give an honest answer of if we can help.

Remember, if you don't ask, you'll never know.

Until next time,
