Becoming a Virtual Assistant is almost as diverse as the colours of a beautiful sunset.
Watching a beautiful sunset the other day I couldn’t help thinking about the wonder and diversity of colour. Yellow, orange, pink, 
blue … actually numerous colours danced in synergy on the horizon to give pleasure to its spectators and I was really thankful that sunsets are not only different shades of grey and white and that they differ from day to day.
While sitting in astonishment, virtual assistant marketing crossed my mind. Wouldn’t it be wonderful to adopt a different approach when doing business? What if the virtual admin assistant business approach has a sunset effect on its clients? Will it make a difference?
When becoming a virtual assistant it is imperative to be diverse and to make use of different astonishing approaches and tools when dealing with customers and clients. In order to understand diversity, let’s compare business success to music. Playing the piano will give you music, but by adding different musical instruments you will hear a symphony of sound.
Virtual Assistance is a different approach to the normal way of doing business. When becoming a virtual assistant refrain from using the normal grey and white approach to do your business.
Instead of doing the same thing the same way for years on end, change the way you are going to run your virtual assistant business into a symphony of creativeness and reap rewards beyond your expectations.
Instead of setting your goals because you have to, think in colourful pictures and write down your dreams Tip 1 – then act on them;
Instead of the normal sms to thank your clients for using you as their virtual admin assistant, Tip 2 – send them a personalised handwritten note;
Instead of using the same marketing methods and tools than everyone else, become creative and Tip 3 – do colourful virtual assistant marketing. By reading articles about normal day to day activities you will be able to incorporate good ideas into your marketing plan;

In addition, you might become a trusted source and people like to do business with people they trust.

Instead of being prejudiced, Tip 7 – explore everything, see for yourself and get inspired by new ideas that could underline why you’ve decided that becoming a virtual assistant is what you want to do.
