We’re all about positivity in our businesses, but let’s face it … an occasional rant now and then with like-minded friends is bloody cathartic, and after being in business for as long as Sam + Jo have, it’s not surprising they’ve got a few things they need to get off their chests.

Their current top things to rant about … clients that don’t value their VAs, the inability to get in touch with a real person at Google, the WORST pieces of advice for VAs going around right now … plus loads more!

These are the common pricing terms talked about by Virtual Assistants around the world. But what’s the difference and what’s best for you?

If you are new to the Virtual Assistant world we recommend you start off by simply offering an hourly rate. Only after you’ve got some clients under your belt should you move on to other pricing options.

For established VAs looking to increase your profitability then it’s a no brainer! Offering packages and service plans is a MUST.

Saying ‘NO’ doesn’t come naturally to many VAs – especially when they’ve come from PA/EA backgrounds where it's been ingrained in them to simply ‘make it happen’ for those they have supported.

After years in the business, one of the biggest lessons Sam + Jo learnt early on is that saying ‘NO’ is not only more powerful than saying ‘YES’, it’s a necessary skill every virtual assistant business owner needs to master.

Being able to confidently communicate your value is key to growing a successful VA business. 

Why? Because you can’t expect potential clients to KNOW your value until you start to OWN it.

If you’re worried that VAs who charge less than you are going to get all the clients … then you need to listen to this episode.

If the thought of hearing the words “You’re too expensive” fills you with dread and makes you want to drop your prices … then you REALLY need to listen to this episode!

VAs are spoilt for choice when it comes to the sheer number of services that fall under the umbrella of ‘Virtual Assistant’.

The downside to this is that it can often lead to overwhelm when it comes to selecting the services that you will be offering clients.

Our advice … stay in your lane! 

Stick to what you know. And NEVER offer services you have no skills and experience in.
