Start Working With 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 On 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 help setting it all up have a look at the Getting Started Training. It’s an affordable membership program for anyone wanting a long-term successful VA business.

What do you think?

I’d love to hear your comments. Please take a moment to leave me a comment and share your thoughts.

Please share if you know someone who might benefit from this information.

Thanks for reading!

Enjoy your day – Susan

Hi Susan whilst I’ve been a VA for the past 30 months I’ve recently come across your website and the really useful information you offer.
As additional to the above items you list how about the following:
@ target market
@ how are you going to market your services
@ good internet presence – website – listings in online business directories
Thank you for all your useful information Susan
