Gordon Jenkins, aka The Visible Guy, Shares With Us The Results of His Global Survey and How Virtual Assistants Can Market Themselves in a Way That Clearly Differentiates Them From Others
In this episode, special guest, Gordon Jenkins, takes listeners through the results of a global survey he conducted aimed at people who have used, or are using, Virtual Assistants to get their feedback on exactly what they look for when engaging the services of a VA…and the results may surprise you!
Gordon touches on some of the more stand out results from the survey and explains how VAs and their clients may need to shift their thinking in order to gain more success from the client/VA relationship.
Some of the areas covered include:
The importance of verbal communication – emails alone are not enough
Just because an employee is virtual, doesn’t mean they aren’t part of your team
As a VA, client perception is your reality – so really understand what your client is looking for
As a client, be really clear on what your expectations are – so you can set your VA up for success
