My philosophy has always been ‘get in first’, ‘be ahead of the crowd’, and
to ‘stand out from my peers’ and I do just that in South Africa. I go by the
phrase ‘An early Bird always catches the Worm’ and I do. I have always had
clients contacting me all the time and always found it easy to talk the client
into using my services at my price rather than go to the next VA down the line.
If I want a job I will go all out to get that job, I will convince the client
of how good and how I am able to assist. My office has a continuous flow of
typing and my main service that I offer clients is Typing. If it can be typed I
can do it. I am very old school and I find that saying this to clients helps
draw them to using my services.
I started out wanting to run a typing company and never thought I would
get to this point, but I’ve done it and proved that you can run a company just
doing typing. I know where to look for my clients, if I want to take on more
clients, I know how to get clients and am not afraid to sell my services and
tell clients how good I am at what I do.
I answer emails fasts, as an email comes in and I see that it’s from a
prospective client I then quickly respond, clients are impressed with a fast
response, they want a VA who is pro-active and assertive.
I love the variety that I get with typing. You would think typing would
be boring, typing the same thing over and over, yet I don’t I have such a
variety in typing from PowerPoint presentations to graphs, tables, charts, and
graphics. This is the job I always wanted to do.
Be like me and be the early bird that catches the worm. The faster you
respond the better chance to get the prospective client.
