The question I get asked the most by Virtual Assistants is: 'How do I find clients?'

There is no secret recipe - it takes time, it takes work, and it takes trying things out.

I'm sharing how I found my first client, where I've invested money and time to find them and the one thing that really sets me apart when it comes to sales.

In December I'm hosting a panel for the Strategic PA Network: Clients for Keeps: Building a sustainable client base and coworking afterwards, if you'd like more client list building tips and to extend your network click here.

This is episode one of a four-part mini series for the Assistant community, each episode is accompanied by a free downloadable resource or event invitation
