When you show your true colors and connect with others in a very real way, you draw in those who become invested in YOU and, therefore, what you have to offer.
One key ingredient to creating a strong business is the relationship you establish between yourself 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:
From the minute we woke up, it was go-time for taking the tiny one to the sitter’s, doing school, running errands, going to our appointments, then following up with working until 2:30 am to get my client work completed as promised.
After a long day, a long week, goodness, a long month, allll we really want is to relax, regroup, think of nothing, and do nothing.
That’s okay. We simply must keep in mind that we need to not check out when our kiddos need us. That doesn’t mean fix the mom-hearing (you have to know what I’m talking about here).
That is not at all what I mean.
Where it used to be commonplace to “suck it up” or not overshare, we are realizing the impact of those decisions.
While I admittedly have a sign that says “suck it up, buttercup” on my bookshelf, I try to convey the importance of voicing your opinion and feelings in this house. Consequences are part of the “suck it up” portion in my eyes.
