Many virtual assistants find that there are two types of clients who they will be working with. They will find that, in some cases, they will be working with clients who are looking for help on an ongoing basis; in other cases they’ll find themselves working with a client who needs help on a single project.

In either case, what a virtual assistant does is not altogether different.

For example, if a virtual assistant is working with a client on a project that needs to happen during a particularly busy period, he or she will need the details of the project and the time frame for its completion; payment will need to be negotiated and a contract developed.

In this case, the virtual assistant will then do the project – and will focus on providing the best work possible, knowing that the client could come back with another project in the future. Or the client could turn into someone who uses the services for the long haul.

When a VA is working with a client doing long term work, it remains important to be clear about the services that are being provided and the price of those services and providing quality work is essential.

As a VA, you’ll always want to put forth your best effort. Whether your working with a client for a single project or over an extended period of time, remember you’re working for yourself and with a client: whatever services you provide, make sure that you’re doing your best work.
