"Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?"
"That depends a good deal on where you want to get to," said the Cat.
"I don't much care where," said Alice.
"Then it doesn't matter which way you go," said the Cat.

The VA / business owner relationship is a special one. It is coefficient and synergistic. It takes trust on both sides and depending on your willingness to delegate, your VA could be answering your emails in "your voice" or even have signing privileges for certain bills or bank accounts. So trust and communication is paramount in this relationship. You want to make sure that you are partnering with the right VA for your needs and as a Virtual Assistant, I want to make sure I'm partnering with my ideal client who 'gets it.' My clients treat me as an equal, value my efforts and know in their hearts that I stand for them; I want what's best for them personally and for their businesses.
To ensure we are each partnering with someone who values our goals, is ethical, trustworthy and is compatible with our work and communication styles, it is important to talk on the phone a few times to see if "we click" and if we want to move forward in a mutually rewarding relationship.
Here is my process:
1. Click here to schedule a short 20-30 minute get-to-know-you conversation. This really is just an opportunity to hear each other's voices and to get aquainted without going into anything too deep (processes, fees, goals, etc.) If there is a connection/fit/chemistry then we move to step #2.
2. I will email you a page of assessment questions to help me understand your business, goals, what's not working, what you know you need help with, etc.
3. As soon as the assessment worksheet is returned, we schedule a longer, in-depth conversation to discuss your business, goals, communication styles, expectations, rates, processes and more. Allow at least one hour for this call.
4. If we are not a fit, I will do my best to suggest other resources for your needs. If we adore each other and choose to move forward in a partnership, I will send you my client welcome packette that will include everything we discussed, a client agreement, as well as a couple of other informational pieces for you to fill out at your convenience to help me serve you better.
Virtual Assistance is the best fit for solo and small business owners who don’t have the time, space, budget or a large enough workload to warrant hiring an in-house assistant. Unlike project-oriented secretarial services and freelancers, Virtual Assistants work with clients in ongoing, collaborative relationships, with a typical commitment from the client of between 10-30 hours per month. If you know what direction you want to take your business and you want to make the necessary commitment to yourself for balance and to your business for growth, I invite you to contact me.
That's it!
“My business is growing, I can't do it all alone anymore, and I need to find a great right-hand person to support me and my biz so that I can GROW and BECOME all I'm meant to become!"
If this is you, help is just a click away.
- If your business is growing and you are becoming overwhelmed with the
details, it's time that you run your business, and not let it run you.
- If you're too overwhelmed with the adminstrative details to bring on new
clients, it's time to partner with a Virtual Assistant.
- If you have been thinking that you need help for some time now, it's time
to take the kind of action that will bring you results.
