Virtual Assistants, Business Babysitters
Di Chapman
It's holiday time again, the children are on vacation from school but you still have your home business to run. You promised to take them to the Zoo etc and go to away for a couple of weeks. What on earth is going to happen to your business? The answer is simple - let a Virtual Assistant run the admin side of your business while you take that well earned rest.
Enter the ?Virtual Assistant Business Babysitting Service?. This service was christened with that name by a very impressed and happy client who regarded his business as his baby.
How is your business safeguarded
Answering the phone, handling -mails and faxes and dealing with clients directly. Your client can enjoy their holiday with complete peace of mind whilst you keep their clients happy.
The way this works is as follows:
* Normally a weekly charge for any 7 days you are away. This is for full cover, 9 to 5 or the hours agreed. You can have your telephone forwarded to the VA's number and so that part of the cover is seamless.
* If there is no telephone answering required a good idea is a per item charge for other admin work.
* Ancillary charges should be agreed with the client before the holiday starts and charged at cost. These items are such things as postage, phone calls, large print runs or mailings.
Now is the time to start letting your clients know that you offer this service. With the ability to order inexpensive business cards via the net, there is nothing stopping you from ordering 250 for this specific purpose with a calendar on the back. The client is much more likely to keep the card and of course will be reminded of your service each time they use it.
Once you have launched this service you will be amazed at how clients remember you each time they are going away. Details will be passed on to businesses who need daytime cover and you may find yourself doing this full time and not just over the holidays.
Working with your clients, you know their needs and also the worries they have about their business. They may be very similar to the ones you have regarding your own. Offering this service will bring you in an income at the worst part of the year - the holidays. You will get known as the ?Virtual Assistant Business Babysitter?
