You Can Never Tell... Where You'll Find Clients

I never know where clients will come from, but I do know that the majority of them have met me in person, online, or that they know someone I know. My most successful client relationships come from referrals – but most of them are not a straight line, which makes it more fun and interesting. In this episode of the RocketGirl Show, I'll share some stories of how I’ve connected with new clients as a Virtual Assistant.

Start With The People You Know

When you’re just getting started as a Virtual Assistant, it’s hard to imagine where your first clients are going to come from. You might be looking for opportunities on Facebook, LinkedIn or job posting websites, but not hitting the jackpot like you were hoping. I have some good news on this topic – your best clients are going to be people you already know or referrals, so the best way to get clients is to spread the word yourself. In this episode of The RocketGirl Show, I'll show you how.

How to Get Clients

One of the biggest challenges for Virtual Assistants is getting clients – especially when you’re just starting out. You may love the work and be good at it, but none of that matters until you have clients to work with. In this episode of The RocketGirl Show, I'll share a few tips for getting new clients.

Learn To Use Informational Interviews To Get Clients

When you’re just starting out as a Virtual Assistant, it can be difficult to know where to find clients. You want people to know about your new business, but you don’t want to appear as if you’re selling yourself, being pushy or, worst of all, desperate. One very effective and powerful way to get the word out in your target market is the informational interview. In this episode of the RocketGirl Show, I'll share the keys to success for an informational interview.

Clearly Explain What You Do

Whether you’re just starting out as a Virtual Assistant or have been in business for a while, you need to clearly describe the work you do – in a concise way – so that people will remember. In this episode of the RocketGirl Show, I'll talk about how to clearly explain what you do as a virtual assistant.

Using Email Announcements To Get Great Clients

Whether you’re just starting out as a Virtual Assistant, or have been in business for a while, sending out an email announcement to everyone you know is a great way to spread the word about your business. In this episode of The RocketGirl Show, I'll share some tips for an effective email announcement.

Get Out There! How To Find Clients

Setting up your Virtual Assistant business well as you’re getting started is important. By nature, VA’s are people who like to do things the “right” way and are thorough in our research and decision-making process. And that’s one of the big reasons why our clients love us. However, if we spend too much time making everything perfect before getting out there this can get in the way of getting started with clients. In this episode of The RocketGirl Show, I'll share some things to remember to get started.
