Sure! VA's assist clients with projects of many sizes and durations. Their business is to support you and meet your specific needs, no matter
size.
7. I am just starting my business and don't know exactly what I need to do first. I don't even know
questions to ask to get
information I need! How frustrating! What can you do to help me?
First off, your VA understands your position because with as many entrepreneurial/business endeavors as they have been involved with over
years, they have been there themselves! A typical consultation will consist of a thorough overview of how you came to be where you are. Next, you will have a discussion of short- and long-term goals, and then move to creating a plan that you can implement beginning today! Doesn't that sound manageable?
8. I have an idea to mail a promotional postcard to my client list of over 500 contacts. I don't know where to begin and have too many other demands on my time to learn
process. Will you manage this project from start-to-finish?
Depending on
services offered by your VA, they may possess
expertise to take this project from your hands today and mail or email you a sample of
finished product! Whether it is a mailer or email message with graphics, you will have peace-of-mind in knowing that your capable VA will manage your project to
tiniest detail!
And, if your VA doesn't have expertise in a specific area, s/he will certainly be able to provide a referral to another qualified VA who possesses
skill(s) to perform
service you need.
9. Will you invest about an hour to do some research for me? I just heard of a new product and need to find out more.
Based on long-term affiliations in certain industries and with specific expertise, your VA has access to information that many times is as close as a telephone call! They would be happy to check with their personal sources, as well as tap into
knowledge base of anyone they might know who can help--saving you many hours of research! They can also get online and search
world! 10. I have an idea for a new product, but I need some market research information to decide if this is really
next big trend.
There is a new trend on
horizon in any given moment! Business changes so rapidly to meet
needs of consumers that it is incumbent on us to perform due diligence. Your VA will be happy to assist you by researching new trends or discussing new trends within
industry of their expertise.
As you can see, there are many facets to
Client/VA relationship. As
relationship develops over time, a dynamic grows of mutual respect and support that richly enhances both entrepreneurs. ____________
