Scheduling A New Client Kick Off Call

by Susan Mershon | Client Management, Scale, Specialize, Start

Do you schedule Kick Off calls with new clients?

Scheduling a Kick-Off call with a new client is a great way to “kick off” the relationship.

It does several things:

Builds trust
Shows you are organized & professional
Allows you to discuss priorities, deadlines & communication preferences
Gives you the opportunity to review your Business Policies and set up weekly status calls.

In this week’s VLOG I talk about the benefits of having a Kick-Off call with all new clients.

Thank you for watching & listening.

Have You Set Boundaries?

by Susan Mershon | Client Management, Specialize, Start

Do your clients know your boundaries?

Are they clear?

Have you communicated them?

Being in the service industry and hungry to get clients, many Virtual Assistants allow their clients to set their schedule instead of the other way around. This is a problem in oh so many ways.

Take the time to set boundaries with not just clients but with friends & family too.

In this VLOG I talk about setting boundaries and sticking to them.

Thanks for listening!

I’d love to hear what you think.

Do you have a story about not setting boundaries?

Start Working With Clients

by Susan Mershon | Client Management, Start

Start Taking ON Clients

I’ve had many new Virtual Assistants or those thinking of starting a VA business ask “What are the bare bones you need to take on clients?” So, I thought I would create a quick checklist of the things I think you need (in no particular order).

What do you really need to start taking VA clients?

Know how much you need to earn.
What services you are offering.
A reliable internet connection and computer.
Email.
A client contract.
Your business policies documented.
A way to get paid.
A task management system to keep track of everything you need to get done and when.
Cloud storage such as DropBox.
Phone or Skype.

If you need to figure out how much to charge, what services you want to offer, sample contracts, templates and click here.

What do you think?
