One of the hardest truths about becoming a virtual assistant is also one of the most freeing: signing clients is a numbers game. 

And when you don’t understand the numbers, it’s easy to assume something is wrong with you when you’re not signing clients as fast as you’d like to.

In this episode, Laura Nicole breaks down why talking to “only” 10 or 15 potential clients isn’t a failure, it’s just not enough data yet. She explains how networking actually works, why conversion rates matter, and how understanding the math behind client signing can instantly take the emotion and self-doubt out of the process.

If you’ve ever thought, “Maybe this just isn’t working for me,” this conversation will give you a much-needed mindset shift and a practical way forward.

In this episode, Laura Nicole will discuss:

• Why signing clients as a VA is a numbers game (and why that actually works in your favor)
• What realistic conversion rates look like so you can stop taking “no’s” personally
• How increasing the number of conversations you start can dramatically improve your chances of landing a client

Want a simple, repeatable way to start more client conversations? Laura teaches her 15-Minute Networking Method inside the Client Magnet Method, a mini course designed to help you find ideal clients, start natural conversations, and move confidently toward discovery calls.

Do you really need a social media following to become a successful virtual assistant??

It’s one of the most common myths new VAs hear, that you have to post daily, grow an audience, and become “visible online” before you can land clients. 

In this episode, Laura Nicole is busting that myth once and for all.

In this episode, Laura Nicole will discuss:

• What online business owners really care about when hiring support

• The biggest mistake new VAs make with their time and energy
