Cool Instant Teleseminar Features

Do you use Instant Teleseminar for your virtual events? I have been using it for some time now, and I think the platform is really great. (I’m an affiliate but I’d recommend them even if I weren’t!)

It’s great to be your own boss, isn’t it? … or are you actually your own boss at all? Virtual Assistants often work with many clients at the same. It’s a more common model to have many clients than it is to just work with one or two clients (once your business is established of course!). So what do you do when everyone needs something at once? As much as you are your own boss in your business, the clients are really in charge of your time on a daily basis. So how do you handle more than one ‘boss’ at a time? Simple … scheduling, clarity and good communication. I have often warned VAs of being ‘at the ready’… Read More »How to Manage Multiple Virtual Assistant Clients

Waiting to market until your website is live?

I had a conversation with a VA recently about websites. One of the key stopping points for many VAs who are just getting started is their website. The issue is one of a few things: they can’t afford to get a website up yet they are exhaustively working on the page content and they are not ready to get it developed yet they are trying to learn HTML themselves so they can build their own website they are working with a designer to get it ‘just right’ and the designer is very busy … the list of reasons to not have it live yet goes on and on Essentially, they are making excuses for not ‘getting out there’, and they… Read More »Waiting to market until your website is live?

Do You Know Your Magic Number?

I once took a course that helped me to see how I was interacting with potential clients, and how I was attempting to convert those potential clients into actual clients. It introduced me to my ‘magic number’ – my conversion rate of prospects. What does that mean? Well, simply put, that means how many people I actually convert to clients while on a sales call. I realized that I was converting at about 40 per cent, which would mean that for every 10 people I talked to, 4 would actually sign on to work with me. (Note: that’s not a very good conversion rate!) Think about it … if you are working at a 40 per cent conversion rate, and… Read More »Do You Know Your Magic Number?

3 tips to help you find your target market

When you decide to get started as a Virtual Assistant, it’s generally because you have administrative skills that you have acquired over a series of jobs, and you want to start to work from home for one reason or another. But it’s important to realize that once you are home, sitting at your desk with your new business cards staring back at you, that you will need to market your business in order to build up a client base.
