WORKING WITH VIRTUAL ASSISTANTS ISSUE
In This Issue:
A Note from Danielle...
How much are you getting done all by yourself in your business? I mean,
you can be an Energizer bunny powerhouse and still not get half as much
done as you could working with someone else. You hire out for other professional
services. Doesn't it make sense to free yourself as well from the work
of running your business and allowing an administrative support expert
to help you? Keep reading...
Yours in goodness and success :)

How You Can Afford a Virtual Assistant
Okay, you already know about Virtual Assistants.
You think they're great. You totally get it and would love to work with
your own administrative consultant. But as with anything of value, it
is going to cost something. So you hold off and keep slogging along by
yourself wondering how you can afford to work with a VA. Well, let me
show you...
When you work with a Virtual Assistant
on an ongoing monthly basis as your right-hand administrative partner,
you can get so much more done than you ever could by yourself. You free
yourself up to focus on more important things. You also get all that extra
stuff done in less time. Which means your business moves forward that
much more quickly. And when you are accomplishing all those revenue-generating
projects and goals you couldn't get to before, you end up making more
money than it costs you to work with a Virtual Assistant.
Let's recap... By working with a VA, you:
- Free yourself to focus on revenue-generation
- Reduce your own workload
- Get more done
- Make faster progress
That extra time you create by working together
is time you can use to:
- Take on more clients
- Write that book
- Develop that training program
- Create those passive income products
All of which increases your revenue. So the question
really becomes, how you can you afford not to work with a Virtual
Assistant?

New Service for Clients: Quickie Gigs™
 The
VACOC has a new service for clients we call Quickie Gigs™.
Here's the idea:
The core business of a Virtual Assistant is providing one-on-one, ongoing
administrative support to clients they work with in long-term, continuous
relationship. We always encourage clients to go that route because it's
where you are going to reap the most rewards in terms of value, continuity
and cost-effectiveness. However, if you have not yet found your right
Virtual Assistant or you are between Virtual Assistants, but still have
occasional tasks and projects you'd like completed, we can help you out!
Quickie Gigs™ is for simple, straightforward administrative
tasks and projects that can be completed and turned-around in a day or
so (24 to 48 hours) with no fuss, no muss. All you do is fill out our
online form with the project specs and once the preliminary account set-up
is completed, we'll get to work right away. Simple as that! For
more information, be sure and check
out our Quickie Gigs™ page.
