Those are not your people. The VA Buzz. A free=2C weekly newsletter for Virtual Assistants on... November 20=2C 2023=2C Issue #183 ** Hello! ------------------------------------------------------------ Belinda Sandor Every year on Black Friday=2C all over social media=2C I see Virtual Assis= tants offering specials and discounts for their services. I have never und= erstood why a serious service provider would do this. As Virtual Assistants=2C we want our clients to see us as professionals=2C= pay us well=2C and treat us as trusted partners. But then the day after American Thanksgiving=2C many VAs act like Walmart= and discount their time and expertise for anyone who will buy! Maybe they think they=E2=80=99re missing an opportunity to make a bunch of= money quickly. Maybe they think that people who are on the fence will jum= p in and work with them. But here=E2=80=99s what=E2=80=99s actually happening when Virtual Assistan= ts jump into the Black Friday frenzy: 1. They are acting like a commodity. Instead of creating professional rela= tionships with people looking for a Virtual Assistant=2C they boil their v= alue down to price as the differentiator=2C rather than skill and expertis= e. They are giving the impression that one VA is interchangeable with anot= her. That=E2=80=99s just not true. 2. They are announcing to the world that their prices are negotiable. Not= everyone will love your prices=2C but those aren=E2=80=99t =E2=80=9Cyour= people.=E2=80=9D So don=E2=80=99t worry about them. To make a good livin= g=2C you must choose your hourly rate and stick to it. The last thing you= want is someone monopolizing your time at $20.00 an hour. 3. They are creating a red flag. When a prospective client begins a conver= sation with me asking how much I charge=2C experience tells me that they a= re not a good fit. Usually=2C they either don=E2=80=99t value what I offer= or they can=E2=80=99t afford to pay me. Both scenarios are stressful. Over the years=2C the more I raised my hourly rate=2C the better clients I= attracted. Today=2C my clients are successful business people who appreci= ate my value. Because I take myself seriously=2C they take me seriously to= o. So=2C skip Black Friday and charge what you=E2=80=99re worth. That=E2=80= =99s how you=E2=80=99ll earn what you deserve. To your success=2C Belinda Belinda Sandor Founder and Chief Cheerleader The VA Connection=C2=AE Upcoming Training This Week Lessons from the Cockpit ** Lessons from the Cockpit: When It's Just Too Much Tuesday=2C November 21=2C 2023 at 10:30 AM ET ------------------------------------------------------------ Starting a new business as a Virtual Assistant can be daunting with all th= e decisions that seem to loom before you. Selecting a business bank accoun= t=2C deciding on payment methods=2C and even choosing a business name can= seem overwhelming. Don't let worry hold you back; you don't need to be pe= rfect before you begin working with clients.
