Wisconsin VA: Training the Client

Dear Client,
In my last post, I challenged you to challenge your Virtual Assistant and give them more work that will help you and your business.

In this post, I'll share with you some ideas for you to consider.

1. Corporate Holiday Greeting Cards. Have you finished yours yet? Have you asked your VA if your VA has done his/her own yet? You may be surprised to hear the answer. Did you even think that your VA might be doing Corporate Holiday Cards? Yes, Virtual Assistants are running their own businesses and as such have to foster relationships like all other Entrepreneurs and Business Owners. Your VA will probably have great ideas on where to find inexpensive well-made Holiday Greeting Cards.

2. Corporate Gifts. Where are the best places to purchase Corporate Gifts? What are the newest trends in Corporate Gifts? Your VA knows! Ask!

3. Personal Shopping. Just tell your VA what you need and she'll get it delivered to you! She could probably even do your Christmas shopping for you.

4. Emergencies. Yes, even corporate executives have emergencies. Your rental car isn't available and you need a ride from one hotel to another. Call your VA and she'll find you an inexpensive limo service to take you point-to-point. While you wait.
Missed a deadline? Did you know that there are On-Call Virtual Assistants who run on adrenaline alone and love deadlines? Prairie Business Partners LLC is one (shameless self promotion).

There are so many others that only you in the situation you find yourself can think of. How can you be more efficient? How can things be more efficient for you? Don't think of the technology; that is what the VA is there for. Your job is to get your tasks done and achieve your goal: Success!

May you have an extremely productive day!

Take care,
