With the Done-for-you-Business “Virtual Assistance Business” package, you’ll receive an entire business structure that is ready to support clients with your virtual assistance services.  Whether you are administrative based or more technical, the business will be setup to support your growth.

Here is what you’ll receive in the Service-Based Business package:

  • Web Presence
  • Shopping Cart / E- Mail Marketing Setup
  • Client Intake Forms
  • Virtual Assistance Services Forms
  • Online Scheduling System Setup
  • Copy / Content for Your VA Website
  • Social Networking Presences
  • Basecamp Setup for Client Work
  • Two Strategy / Coaching Calls with Erin Blaskie
  • One Training Call to Learn Your Systems

Let’s look at each of these options in detail.

Web Presence

Using the latest technology, we’ll build you a web presence based off of the hottest and most beneficial web platforms — WordPress. You’ll receive a custom built and branded blog-based website that includes built-in plug-ins and technologies that you’ll need to run your business efficiently and effectively. You’ll be able to make updates to the website yourself once it’s done and you’ll have full control over how it looks.  This website will feature an about page, a contact page, a services page, a products page (if needed/desired), a rates page and a learn about virtual assistance page.

Shopping Cart / E-mail Marketing System

Running a virtual assistance business will require you to have an e-commerce solution setup in order to accept online orders. You will be able to process orders via your website automatically without having to process any payments manually. We utilize 1ShoppingCart and the merchant account of your choice. We’ll setup an autoresponder for each of your packages and we’ll integrate in the online scheduling system to make the process seamless.  This will also serve as your e-mail marketing program.

Client Intake Forms

When you bring on a new client, you’ll want to have various forms available for them. We’ll help you create these forms and a welcome package and ensure it’s branded to your business — we’ve worked with hundreds of clients so we’ve perfected this process. This way, when a new client comes on board, you have a professional way to “greet” them. The intake process should be one that starts the client/service provider relationship off right so we’ll ensure it’s professional and polished.

Virtual Assistance Services Forms

When you bring on new clients in a virtual assistance business, it’s going to be important to make sure that they give you all of the information you’ll need to start the services. We’ll set you up with some automated forms that will collect data for the most common services you’ll be offering as a VA. These will also be integrated into your e-commerce system so that when someone purchases a service, they are taken to those forms immediately.

Online Scheduling System

To be able to take appointments with prospects, you’ll want to give them the ability to self-schedule their appointments. To do this, we’ll setup an online scheduling system for you which will allow you to send your clients to a system where they can choose the best dates and times for themselves. We’ll also integrate this into the autoresponder system from your shopping cart to have the system just work for your clients automatically.

Copy for Your Virtual Assistance Website

In this package, you’ll also receive assistance, guidance and support in writing your copy for your new website.  As this is our area of expertise, we’ll help you write copy that will convert prospects and will allow you to educate, motivate and inspire people to take the next action step.  Using webinar technology, we’ll join forces via video to co-write and produce the content, integrate imagery and produce amazing words on the web.

Social Networking Presences

It’s important that, as a virtual assistant, you are getting on social networks to market your business and networking with potential clients.  Having no presence on these sites could be a business killer.  We’ll get you setup on Facebook and Twitter in the most effective way and we’ll design you a beautifully branded, custom Twitter background.  Your clients will see the consistency in your virtual assistance business and they will admire your abilities as an entrepreneur and as a business owner.

Basecamp Setup

Working with clients in your virtual assistance is going to be dependent on organization.  So, you will need a system to track their work and keep tabs on deadlines. With Basecamp, you’ll be able to do all of that and more. We’ll get your account setup and ready to use and we’ll setup some pre-defined to-do lists for the services you may want to offer as a VA. Working with you, we’ll ensure that you understand exactly how to get your clients setup in Basecamp and how to use it for maximum results.

Strategy Coaching Calls

As part of this package, you’ll receive two one-hour calls with Erin Blaskie. During your first call, you’ll gain clarity around your offerings and what you’d like to do in your business. We’ll come up with some of the branding as well (if needed) and we’ll get to know the elements that you need in your business specifically. During the second call, we’ll look at what we’ve done so far and decide what the next steps are for you and your business.

Training Call

With all of your new systems in place, you’re going to need some training on how it all works. We do a one-hour live call in conjunction with training documents and process manuals.
