One key ingredient to creating a strong business is the relationship you establish between you and your client or customer.
Fostering that relationship can be done by numerous paths. I have found the path that works best for me.
My suggestions for 3 ways to have a successful virtual assistant – client relationship are as follows:
🌟 RESPECT
If you have mutual respect for one another, that helps boost self-esteem on both parts and generally makes for a better working relationship. The capabilities of my clients amaze me. Their strengths may not be mine, but I look up to them in some sense in the expertise they hold. I believe that feeling is sensed and helps build the confidence both in that they have in you and in themselves, as well.
🌟 COMMUNICATION
Having open communication will create trust and a bond. If you make a mistake, own it and do better. If there is a misunderstanding, clarify. You can easily fortify or break the rapport by hiding something or being dishonest. When a client asks me a question, I answer with full-disclosure. Maybe I am not the best person for the job, but I may have a referral or am willing to figure it out if they would like me to. Or they need a quick turnaround time that I simply do not have the capacity to honor. At times I may be too much of an open book, but I choose to think that may be an endearing quality.
🌟 DEPENDABILITY
Finding someone who does a good job, fairly quickly, and reliably can seal the deal. You become a right-hand man so-to-speak, and prove how much helping them in their endeavors means to you. If you can do that, that’s invaluable. I put my all into each task in hopes of exceeding expectations. That doesn’t mean I don’t miss the mark sometimes, but I am happy to fix the trajectory to get back on track. Many times, just being a sounding board, growing with a client and their business, and taking on challenges can go a long way.

While these tips are important, there are plenty of other components to a successful virtual assistant:

> getting visible online
> creating your offer
