7 Communication Tips to Make You a Better VA

It’s one thing to know what you are doing, but it’s another to tell a client what they should be doing. It’s a situation that you need to learn how to handle as a VA – and once you do, you will not only gain confidence, but you will also gain their trust, respect and even their… Read More »Are You Using Your Outside Voice?
