VA Marketing: Letting Your Clients Know What You Can Do

Thursday, March 13th, 2008

When it comes to virtual assistant marketing, one of the most effective ways of getting the word out about what you do is to let prospective clients know what you can do for them. In part, therefore, VA marketing is about knowing what you can do, and about knowing what your clients will be able to expect when they work with you.

Specifically, when you’re marketing yourself as a virtual assistant, the best thing that you can do is to express why working with a VA is so beneficial to other businesses. Here are some things to point out to your prospective clients when you market yourself as a VA:

  1. When your clients work with a virtual assistant, they are working with a professional – not with someone who they will need to train;
  2. When your clients work with a VA, they don’t need to share their space or buy more equipment;
  3. When they work with a virtual assistant rather than someone who comes into the office, there aren’t going to be taxes to be paid and they won’t be responsible for paying for your insurance;
  4. When they work with a VA, they pay for the time that is spent working and the projects that are completed;
  5. When your clients choose to work with a virtual assistant, they can be sure that they are working with someone who understands what they do and offers the services that they need.

These key points are great selling points when you market yourself to business owners; see for yourself how effective they can be.
