💻👩 Maybe you only just decided on your business name.
Maybe you’re working on your packages and prices.
But let me tell you something…
Without PAYING CLIENTS, your business won’t become a reality. ⭐
That’s where marketing comes into play.
It’s NEVER too early to start telling people about your business.
TIP #1: FRIENDS AND FAMILY FIRST
Okay, I know, I know. Don’t discredit me just yet. This is such a neglected tip that I don’t want you to pass by it!
The thing I love most about virtual assistants is that you don’t have to sell to your friends and family. If you’re selling leggings or candles online, then you’re likely trying to get your friends and family to buy things from you (and that just never felt good to me, personally).
However, there IS something really important about letting your friends and family know what you’re doing.
Because referrals work! ⭐⭐⭐
Many times, potential clients are right under our noses. Even if people don’t need your services right now, letting them know about your business is going to make you come to mind whenever they hear of somebody who needs a Virtual Assistant.
Maybe a landscaper will come to their house to do yard work, and that landscaper says, “Oh, I’m so overwhelmed. We have so many invoices, and I’m so sorry that I didn’t get back to you.”
Instantly, you’re going to come to mind! ⭐
I’ve had several students think this approach doesn’t work. They reached out to 100 people and didn’t get one single bite. But two or even three weeks later, all of a sudden the referrals start coming in.
I highly recommend NOT skipping this step when it comes to your own business. Telling people about what you’re doing is really rewarding, so be sure you talk to friends and family first.
I'll be dropping more tips over the next few weeks about where else to find clients! ⭐
