Transcription is Dictaphone typing, remember this was out years ago, now this is a much sort after service, and people are providing this service, working from their own virtual offices, refer to Tavasa: Transcription and Virtual Assistants of SA, Tavasa Blog: www.tavasa.blogspot.com, email: amftyping@mweb.co.za and Gaynor Paynter at www.typewritetranscription.co.za, Typewrite Transcription and Typing Services CC for more information.

Tips for Newbie VAs

Tips:

8th July: If you have confidence in yourself and your ability to do your job this will come through in the way you act with potential clients, clients will see you know what you are talking about. Dont hesitate in conversation with potential clients, this sets in doubt in the clients mind, be firm, be assertive but not too assertive. Know your job inside out. Be proactive with potential clients, dont be afraid to suggest things that can improve the job. Make sure you always produce quality work and provide a quality client service. Be polite, friendly at all times when dealing with clients. Dont let the client treat you as anything other than an equal, you are not a secretary or employee.

1. Keep a few business cards, brochures on you, in your briefcase, in your handbag, shopping bag, car etc as you never know when the need arises to hand a brochure or card to a potential clients you meet. You could be sitting at the doctors waiting and start talking, a good opportunity could be missed if you do not have business cards or brochures on you or with you.

2. One of the best ways to advertise is to attend networking functions. If you can, join some small business groups as they often have coffee mornings, breakfasts and lunches. Attending functions gives you the chance to hand out your business cards and brochures to potential clients. Have a quick 5 minute speech ready, that you know, to tell prospectives 'What a VA is and what we do'. Most people have not heard of our industry and it is up to us to spread the word. Know your speech so that you come across as confident and know what you are talking about.

Online VA Seminar Survey

Attention Virtual Assistants and Transcriptionists:

Please can I ask you to take part in my mini survey, by clicking on the link below. I would like your opinion on Online VA Seminars. I would be prepared if the interest was adequate enough to prepare and give online seminars lasting for about 1 to 1 and half hours, on various topics VA related including Transcription. I need to see if there is interest there for me to do this. These seminars would be available online. These are done overseas and they are very worthwhile.

If you are not interest please delete this email. Thank you if you participate in my survey, the results will be published for all to see.
