It takes passion for your business to keep motivated and to continue introducing people to what you do and how you do it. It takes courage and belief in you and your services to put yourself before others not always certain if you’ll be met with a no – trusting that customers will come. Providing good quality work reflects well on you. It strengthens your confidence which will draw customers in.
How bright is your beacon when it comes to these areas?
- Share your knowledge and resources with your colleagues when they struggle with a problem or have difficulty in finding a solution for a techie issue. How often have you searched high and low for a resource to meet a client’s need? Could be a WordPress plug-in option, a free software alternative or shortcut to doing something, only to ask a friend and be pointed to an answer. Helping each other in our times of need is something that frequently occurs within the virtual assistant industry.
- Going above and beyond when it’s unexpected. Our clients trust us to be knowledgeable and have their best interests at hand when it comes to making suggestions to operate efficiently and maintain effectiveness. Continual learning in this online industry is a must. Always try to offer a bit more (an extra helping or a baker’s dozen approach) to each project you execute.
- Believing in the worth and value you bring to those you serve. The first person you must satisfy and convince of your value is you. If you don’t believe in your services, products, and all that your business can do for others it’s extremely difficult for others to believe in you. Be confident in your business – going forward knowing how your assistance helps others grow their business, gives them added time to connect with their family, and enables another business to give value packed offerings to their clients. This ripple effect is far reaching.
