How important is it to choose your Virtual Assistant Clients carefully? I would say it is very important! If you have ever made the mistake of agreeing to work with a client that you just did not see eye to eye with, you may have already learned this lesson.

I know it’s easy to become a little desperate during tough times like these, or when you are just starting your business, but the biggest mistakes many Virtual Assistants make is taking on any client without first assessing whether they are appropriate. A disgruntled client who is very unhappy with your services can hurt your reputation…not to mention your morale.

Tip #1) Choose with care. Many truly honest resources offer their outsourcing support. However, there are others who selfishly seek opportunities to make money. They might overstate their skills or the tools they have available. They may already have full time work and simply hope to find the time to provide the support you seek. Some are there to take advantage of you and walk away with your money. Carefully examine the credentials of any prospective resources before deciding on the outsource support you accept.

Also, be sure you have contracts which clearly define the scope of the work you will do, your rate of pay and all of your policies. In today’s world, particularly in the global marketplace, it’s not a good idea to work without a signed contract first.

Another consideration before looking for clients is to clearly define your target market. Who would you like to work with? What industries interest you? Picture in your mind your “ideal virtual assistant client” and what an ideal working partnership would be like.

If you’re working with little money, why not try getting someone to barter services? There’s undoubtedly things that you’re better at than others, so get someone who’s good at doing the things you suck at to do them for you, while you do the things they suck at for them.

A great way to conduct a good interview with a potential client is to do an initial client assessment. An assessment will help you understand their business and what services they need.

You can also impress a potential client if you are confident and take charge of the initial consultation process. Many clients may not even know what questions to ask and can be quite relieved when you lead the process. You will also need to stay in charge of the client consultation process to ensure you obtain the necessary information in a timely fashion.

The client consultation process is not something you will want to just do without some planning in advance – particularly when you are just starting your virtual assistant business. Be sure you are prepared in advance and have some questions written down
