Chapter 4:
Decide What Services You Will Offer
Synopsis
There is really no limit as to the type of services that can be offered by the virtual assistant; however the services offered should be in line with the expertise of the individual, otherwise the end results of the work produced will not be up to the client’s expectations. This will not serve well for the virtual assistant as the job acquired usually come based on recommendations and track records.
Your Plan
The main idea behind deciding what services to offer would be deciding first if the said services are part of the capabilities of the individual.
Virtual assistants would do well to only offer services along their own individual expertise and knowledge. Should the individual decide to diversify then the effort must be made to ensure the relevant knowledge and style is properly learnt in order to do the job well.
Among the more popular services that can be offered as a virtual assistant are word processing, book keeping, communications with customers and clients alike.
Management of clients and campaigns is also another area that can be managed by a virtual assistant. All these are choices that the individual would need to decide on in terms of what is going to be offered to the client as part of the services rendered.
Once the decision is made as to the type of services that is going to be offered by the virtual assistant then the necessary skills and tools should also be available for the smooth running of the contract given.
In most cases there will be a need to market the virtual assistant’s skills to create the platform for interested parties and clients to consider. This marketing exercise can be done online as the exposure for the virtual assistant can be unlimited and borderless.
