20 Things Virtual Assistants Can Do for Their Clients, Pt 2
Yesterday in the VirtualU blog we started talking about services that a VA can provide to his or her clients; here’s the rest of the list.
- Database maintenance. Make sure your clients’ lead database is in order so that there aren’t missed sales.
- Internet research. When your clients need information, it can be up to you to find it for them.
- Make reservations. When your clients have important business meetings, you can ensure that they are able to impress those in attendance with a great meal.
- Reminder services. There’s one thing that’s certain: those who are busy in business need to remember meetings, anniversaries, birthdays and other key events – you can keep track of them for them.
- Scheduling. Busy business folks are going to have a lot of meetings to get to; make it your job to make sure their aren’t scheduling conflicts.
- Internet admin. With message boards, forums, chat rooms, groups and blogs, it’s important to make sure that everything runs smoothly.
- Travel planning. If your clients need to leave town for meetings, you can make flights and hotel reservations.
- Newsletter creation. Chances are good that the busier your clients are, the more they will need to communicate with their clients and customers; you can make that an easier process.
- Call and email answering. By taking messages and answering the basic questions for your clients, you can help them to better manage their own time.
- Organizing. Some people think about organization in a sense that’s a lot like re-decorating. Instead, VA’s can offer organization services that involve setting email folders, grouping prospects and sorting information to simplify different processes.
Once you identify what you’ll do as a virtual assistant, all it takes is making sure that you have the VA business training to make sure that everything goes smoothly for you.
