When you’re running a VA business, one of the things that you’ll quickly discover is that there are some client relationships that are going to be great and others that, well, aren’t a great fit. One of the things that you’ll wnat to focus on, therefore is finding the right clients.

Finding the right clients is, in part, about looking for those business folks out there who are looking for the services that you’re providing. In part, it’s about knowing your personality and knowing what types of people you get along with well – especially in a business environment.

In part, though, it’s all about setting up a plan that will let you get to know more about the people that you might be working with before you take them on as clients – and when you network with other virtual assistants, you’ll find that they have developed great plans for doing just that. It’s also about trusting your gut.

Each time that you’re put into a situation where you choose the wrong clients, make a list of the questions that you wish that you had asked. In the future, before you start working with someone, ask those questions.

When you’re running a VA business, you won’t always be able to pick and choose your clients; still, it’s a good idea to take the time – up front – to get a feel for the relationships and what they will be like. It’s sure to help you out over time.
