Are you: working long hours trying to get it all done by yourself in your VA business? working with (and drained by!) clients who are not ideal for you to work with (but are afraid to give up their money?) finding it difficult to keep your client pipeline full? experiencing ‘feast or famine’ each month on your work schedule? unsure of how (or even scared!) to raise your rates to what you deserve to earn? doing things you don’t love to do on a daily or weekly basis? still trading dollars for hours with your client work? wanting to specialize your services and don’t know how to implement that?

Marketing Tips for your Virtual Business

Do you find yourself so busy working IN your business that your own marketing efforts get shuffled off to the side? If so, you are not alone.

This can lead to dry spells in bringing on new clients, or even lost networking opportunities. It’s important to make sure that you are maintaining your marketing all year round, and of course bumping it up when necessary to bring new clients or prospects into your ‘funnel’. Here are a few ways you can bolster your marketing efforts: 1. Network regularly. Think about what it is you want to accomplish, and make a plan… Read More »Marketing Tips for your Virtual Business

As a business owner, it’s important to review and assess the aspects of your business on a regular basis. In order to grow and be successful, you need to be sure that you are doing things like maximizing revenue and minimizing expenses, among many other things. If you could take one whole day to just stand back and look at your business … what would you do differently? It’s something that not many of us do without the prodding of a coach or an accountability partner.

The Strategy of Knowing Your Client’s Business

Building a business takes strategy. You know that from building your own business. You want to build a business that is successful and thriving. What is the easiest way to do that? Work with clients whose businesses are also successful and thriving. It seems like a simple concept, but most VAs I know want to work with clients on a long term basis – and they have no idea what to do in order to find them. The key is to find clients who are currently (or planning to) growing their businesses, because that will mean that your business will grow as well. There is one important thing you need to do for them that will help both of you.… Read More »The Strategy of Knowing Your Client’s Business
