The VA Buzz. A free=2C weekly newsletter for Virtual Assistants on... May 22=2C 2024=2C Issue #209 ** Hello! ------------------------------------------------------------ Belinda Sandor Women thinking about becoming Virtual Assistants often worry they lack the= skills to succeed. They talk to me about how long they have been out of the workplace=2C stre= ss that they have no corporate experience=2C and fret about not being tech= y. That=E2=80=99s because they=E2=80=99re confused about how being a Virtual= Assistant works. They imagine they=E2=80=99ll have to jump through a lot= of hoops similar to a job interview=2C that they=E2=80=99ll need to prove= themselves in some way=2C and that there=E2=80=99s a lot of competition o= ut there. So they assume it will be hard to find clients. They also wonder= if they=E2=80=99re too old to start something new. Fortunately=2C none of that is true. Getting clients can be simple; here= =E2=80=99s an example of how it works: Sarah needs help with a PowerPoint presentation. Her friend Ron told her t= hat you=E2=80=99re a Virtual Assistant and might be able to help. Sarah sc= hedules a time to talk with you. She tells you what she needs=2C and you f= igure out if you=E2=80=99re a fit for each other. This is not an interview; it=E2=80=99s just a conversation. If you know how to use PowerPoint=2C then great. If you don=E2=80=99t=2C y= ou can either decline the work=2C refer the client to someone else=2C or b= uy the PowerPoint for Dummy=E2=80=99s book and learn how it works. When you=E2=80=99re a Virtual Assistant=2C you=E2=80=99re not working in f= ront of your client in an office setting=2C so there is time to learn a ne= w skill on your own time if the project interests you. Even though the concern is getting the client's work done=2C the solution= to business success is getting Ron to know=2C remember=2C and understand= what you do as a Virtual Assistant. This way=2C he=E2=80=99ll tell the Sa= rahs of the world about you when a need for help arises. There are simple steps to make this happen. But many VAs are so worried ab= out their skill set that they waste time trying to learn new software appl= ications - instead of spreading the word about their business. Here=E2=80=99s how to spend your time: 1. Learn how to talk about your business in a clear=2C simple way. You wan= t people to be able to understand and remember what you offer. Here=E2=80= =99s what I suggest: =E2=80=9CI=E2=80=99m a Virtual Assistant. I work with entrepreneurs and sm= all business owners. I help them with all their administrative work =E2=80= =93 like updating their websites=2C setting up their newsletters=2C and he= lping them set up online courses.=E2=80=9D That=E2=80=99s all you need to say. Keep it short and sweet. 2. Tell everyone you know about your business. Everyone. Your friends=2C f= amily=2C old boss=2C college friends=2C and dads who are waiting at the sc= hool bus stop with their kids. Don=E2=80=99t prospect or try to get strate= gic about who needs your help. You have no idea who the people you=E2=80= =99re connected with know. I could tell you more than 200 crazy stories about how my clients were ref= erred to me. Just relax and spread the word. You=E2=80=99ll be surprised h= ow many people are happy for you and rooting for you and your business suc= cess. Your best clients=2C hands down=2C will come from referrals. Let=E2=80=99s= make it easy for them. It=E2=80=99s human nature not to bother people or talk about ourselves=2C= so we spend time setting up our business=2C launching our website=2C and= opening our bank account instead of the simple (but sometimes not easy) t= ask of spreading the word. Don=E2=80=99t be the best-kept secret out there. Remember=2C you=E2=80=99r= e the solution to an entrepreneur's problem; make sure everyone knows abou= t your business.

they have been out of the workplace=2C stre= ss that they have no corporate experience=2C and fret about not being tech= y.<br> <br> That=E2=80=99s because they=E2=80=99re confused about how being a

So they assume it will be hard to find clients.= <strong>They also wonder if they=E2=80=99re too old to start something ne= w.</strong><br> <br> Fortunately=2C none of that is true. Getting clients can be simple; here= =E2=80=99s an example of how it works:<br> <br> Sarah needs help with a PowerPoint presentation.

But many VAs are so worried ab= out their skill set that they waste time trying to learn new software appl= ications - instead of spreading the word about their business.<br> <br> Here=E2=80=99s how to spend your time:</p> <ol> =09<li style=3D"mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-= webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;"><strong>Learn how to talk about your busin= ess in a clear=2C simple way. </strong>You want people to be able to under= stand and remember what you offer.
