4 Ways to Improve Your Virtual Assistant Business Today
There are many ways you can improve your virtual assistant business in one day, especially when you add that one day’s accomplishments to the following day’s accomplishments and the day’s after that. That’s called consistency, and it really pays off. So let’s start that ball rolling today with 4 things you can do right now:
- Raise your prices: If you’re undercharging for your services, write an email to all of your existing clients and let them know that 60 days from now your prices will be increasing by $5 per hour. Change the prices on your website right now, so that all new clients get the new price. Don’t you just love giving yourself a raise?
- Back up your computer: This may seem like a small thing, but it’s a HUGE thing if your hard drive fails. And hard drives fail every day. It’s not a matter of if your hard drive will fail, but when. Do not put this off until tomorrow!
- Contact two companies to ask for referrals: Call two companies you admire who have the same target market as you but offer different services. Offer to refer clients to them, and ask them to refer clients to you. Do this again tomorrow and the day after that, and you’ll soon have a steady stream of clients contacting you.
- Schedule a free strategy session: Ready to build a multi-va team? Perhaps you want to expand your business by creating products, developing training courses or consulting programs. Give me 60 minutes, and I’ll help you determine the exact next steps you need to take to achieve your goal. Schedule your free “Transform Your Virtual Assistant Business” session now!
