Virtual Assistant
07-15-2009, 10:45 AM
Good morning all,
a new member to the forum, my name is Erin and I am a 26 year old Virtual Assistant based in Brisbane.
I've found that my business has been predominantly based on Clients I have been able to meet face to face, as so many businesses aren't yet ready to embrace the sheer wonder of Virtual Assistance as yet.
Does anyone have any thoughts on really connecting with others online? Being that VA work is always done electronically, I've found it really interesting that recruiting new Clients seems to be something that I can only do through in person contact.
Generally they know little about VA's and what we have to offer, and talking them through the how's and why's in person cements the faith and begins a really great business relationship.
Having said that, there are so many businesses I could do such wonderful things for which aren't in the greater Brisbane area.
Are there ways of breaking through this barrier short of annoying potential Clients with mailouts?
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
