The VA Buzz. A free=2C weekly newsletter for Virtual Assistants on...
October 7=2C 2024=2C Issue #229

** Hello!
------------------------------------------------------------

Belinda Sandor

When you=E2=80=99re just starting out as a Virtual Assistant=2C one of the=
 scariest things are the ever-powerful =E2=80=9Cwhat ifs.=E2=80=9D

You know =E2=80=A6 What if the client asks me this? What if the client ask=
s me that? What if I don=E2=80=99t know? What do I say?

Virtual Assistants are problem solvers; getting caught without all the ans=
wers is not a situation we want to be in. But I=E2=80=99m here to tell you=
 that it happens to all of us=2C even after years of experience. The key i=
s to know what to do when these situations occur.

Here are some things to keep in mind:
1. Google is your friend. When I need an answer that I don=E2=80=99t have=
=2C I turn to a quick Google search. When I was just starting out=2C I did=
 these searches quickly and quietly when speaking with a client=2C not let=
ting on about what I was doing. But what I=E2=80=99ve come to learn is tha=
t the client doesn=E2=80=99t care if I don=E2=80=99t know everything they=
=E2=80=99re asking =E2=80=93 they just want me to figure it out. I=E2=80=
=99ve lost count of how many times I=E2=80=99ve asked a client to hold on=
 a sec while I Google it and get an immediate answer. They=E2=80=99re thri=
lled.

2. They might train you. Some of my clients already have processes in plac=
e for the work that they want me to do (if you=E2=80=99re not sure=2C ask=
 them). In these cases=2C they will train you or have someone explain it t=
o you. If they don=E2=80=99t=2C and want you to create one=2C you can do t=
hat on your own and figure it out.

3. It=E2=80=99s ok to say =E2=80=9CI don=E2=80=99t know=2C let me get back=
 to you.=E2=80=9D Many times=2C clients offer this possibility: =E2=80=9CY=
ou can get back to me=2C I just wanted to let you know what I need.=E2=80=
=9D

Clients are people too =E2=80=93 they understand that you can=E2=80=99t po=
ssibly know everything. Just be honest and work with your clients to come=
 up with solutions. That may mean doing some research=2C learning a new sk=
ill=2C or suggesting another resource.

So how about this for a What If? =E2=80=A6 What if things go really great?=
!

All the best=2C

Upcoming Training This Week

** Lessons from the Cockpit: Let Clients Know What You Are Capable Of
Tuesday=2C October 8=2C 2024 at 10:30 AM ET
------------------------------------------------------------

Just because you are capable of a wide range of things=2C your clients may=
 not know what they are unless you tell them! Sometimes clients hire a Vir=
tual Assistant for one skill but have no idea what other amazing services=
 that VA has to offer. It=E2=80=99s up to you to let them know.

During this episode of Lessons from the Cockpit=2C I'll share a few ways t=
o make your services better known.
