UPDATE 14/11/11 Still 7 places left!
I have always been very proud of the fact that my income comes from the virtual assistant business but due to impending motherhood I have at least 3 months maternity leave where I cannot earn any money from the business. So I’m offering a very unique opportunity to just 15 VAs.
The opportunity:
One on one training with Caroline Wylie, owner of Virtually Sorted and founder of Society of VAs, UK representative of VACertified and internationally recognised VA.
Cost: £200
Availability: Limited to 15 places – must be taken before Jan 2012
Includes:
- Introduction session via phone/Skype to establish goals and timeframes
- Reading materials to help you with your issues
- Legal pack – including client contract and subcontractors document templates
- Marketing plan designed for your business with SMART goals
- Time management tools including business automation and systems
- Help with setting up, managing and maintaining multi-VA working relationships
- 4 x one-on-one phone sessions with Caroline
Why only 15 places?
I run a full-time VA business – I have limited time to spare in addition to servicing my clients and I don’t want to bump the client workflow up when the team is having to work without me. I have no desire to offer VA training as part of the business on an ongoing basis, I earn enough money from just being a VA to finance my lifestyle, and there’s a pride in being able to claim that. How many other VA trainers can say the same? I’m only looking to replace my mortgage payments whilst on maternity leave – so once the places are gone, they’re gone!
How are you qualified to offer VA training?
I’ve been a VA for over 7 years. For five of those years, I have earned my income solely from being a VA, with no other external income. During that time I started off as a singleton – there was no one picking up my bills or paying the mortgage, so I had no choice but to make the business work and pay for itself from Day 1. And even when I got married and moved in with my husband, the mortgage and bills are still split 50:50 and we have a 5-bedroom house in one of Glasgow’s most exclusive areas. So my business is definitely NOT a lifestyle business or hobby for a bored housewife! It’s a real business, earning real money.
Secondly, my background is in marketing and advertising, so I have an understanding of one of the trickiest areas which VAs struggle with – finding suitable clients. I am able to pick and choose the clients we work with and have proven strategies in place to generate clients whenever we need more business. I can teach you how to use these strategies and tailor them to your business.
Who is this suitable for?
You might be a newbie who needs to replace your employee income straight away. You might be an old hand who just needs some help with specific areas of your business – perhaps marketing or team building. Or maybe you’ve been a VA a while and just can’t figure out why everyone else is doing better than you?
What you must be able to do is:
- Be able to commit to an initial meeting and 4 x phone meetings (can do evenings/weekends if this suits you better).
- Pay in advance of your sessions beginning.
- Be able to complete your sessions before I go on maternity leave in February 2012.
Sounds like something you want?
