Virtual Assistants can Take the Lead to Help Clients Rescue “Dead” Customers

 A post on Virtually @ Eight Twenty-two (http://barjdcommunications.com/virtualblog) talks about another post at Partner with a Virtual Assistant regarding the way business people can work with professional virtual assistants to resuscitate customer relationships that aren’t down the tubes or even revive those that might have looked dead.

 

Business people who are eager to push their business can check at VAnetworking.com to tap a network of virtual professionals who are capable of helping with this so important project.

 

The customer who has been satisfied with doing business with you, Mr./Ms Client is ‘way too valuable to neglect.  It looks as if you don’t have time because you have new product to develop and new clients to romance…after all your business thrives on a certain volume level.  What is often missed, though preached and preached by business counselors such as John Jantsch at DuctTape Marketing, these satisfied customers will ‘bird dog’  a beautiful customer base for you.  A base that you might have overlooked.  Meanwhile, you can concentrate on being the best business for them.

 

Virtual assistants who are already working with clients have a responsibility to be ready to suggest customer care to their clients.  No time to dawdle during this business climate.  Be the early bird and thrive.

Dirty Little Secret about Virtual Assistance Number 3

When someone owns a computer and has an internet connection, the view of working online makes a great deal of sense and is easy to ‘see’.

It would follow that the easiest way to learn the ropes would be to work under someone else who has already begun their business.   Frequently newly converted virtual assistants will wave their flag that they are now ready to work under someone else and wonder why they aren’t immediately picked up. 

In the multiple VA groups with which I am acquainted, the subcontractors’ best way to build the relationship with primary contractors besides waving their flags is to network on the VA group, such as VAnetworking.com.  Sharing information, asking questions, building the status of being REAL and professional all become part of the foundation of trust that permits primary VAs to recognize that this particularl person would be a good subcontractor. 

The work will simply not fall from the sky.  As a newbie, VAnetworking.com is a good fit because there is a great deal to learn there without cash cost until the new Virtual Assistant is in a position to invest further.

Networking to Avoid Virtual Solitude Slump

In other posts, I’m writing about the potential for working virtually to use your skills when going to an onsite job isn’t possible. 

It takes special discipline to work on your own. This discipline or the lack of it is some cause for distrust on the part of potential clients.  Will the virtual person work hard or bill them for time spent just staring off into space.  Or time spent watching soap operas and eating bonbons. 

Networking with peers at various online groups can give you community, information about the industry, or camadarie with people who have been in the same boat you are now trying to bailout.  

There are many fine groups, but it isn’t possible to be active in many while doing justice to your business.  I have tried a few and have found VAnetworking.com to be one of the most solid and valuable to me.  There are 10,000 members to draw on for information.  There is a free side for newbies to learn an awesome amount about the virtual assistance field, as well as a paid side with valuable downloads that cancel the cost of the membership quickly.  The downloads are only one small part of what is available. 

Best of all, there is NO discrimination between paid and non-paid in the general attitude.   Everyone gets help and answers.  Everyone is included in the FUN things and in valuable seminars or group chats.  Just last night they had an online PARTY for the holiday and to celebrate the fifth birthday of VAnetworking.com
