How long does a Virtual Assistant get for lunch?

Have you ever noticed that the questions that you get asked are not REALLY the questions that need answering?

An example in our business is if a client asks “How long does my VA get for lunch” it might mean:

My Virtual Assistant is not communicating to me so that I have certainty
I don’t feel like I am getting value from my Virtual Assistant
I feel uncomfortable asking my Virtual Assistant questions

And IF it is one of these things then we need to address the real question.

Just saying ”1 hour” is not going to cut it.

What seemingly simple questions are your clients asking? It could be

How long is it going to take?
What is the purpose of that?
Is this the best way?

…and are they really saying something else? Perhaps

I don’t have confidence in the process
I think it is taking too long
I am not sure if I am getting value

Recognising the real question under the actual question is super valuable.

Answering those simple questions AND addressing those often un-asked bigger challenges, makes sure that you clients feel like they are heard and getting value and enhances the probability that they will remain clients.

Stop and think…what is the BIGGER question behind the question that you have been asked?

This sounds small, but it might just be a game changer.

Carmen and Maureen - who else would you turn to when you are ready to engage a VA. Everything is taken care of and you are certain to find the best Virtual Assistant fitting to you and your practice or business.

We hired a videographer VA, through Global Teams six months ago and I could not be happier. Not only is he a fabulous addition to our team but the support Carmen and Maureen provide is second to none.

"I have a wonderful VA, Anna, who together with me, is developing a lot of knowledge around social media etc."

I recently hired my first VA through Global Teams and have been absolutely blown away by the quality of not only the candidates they put forward, but my new VA.

We have worked with many agencies before that have never got it nearly as spot on as Global Teams. Couldn't recommend them higher!

"I needed someone I could rely on to manage all aspects of my business. I am thrilled with the relationship my business manager (Virtual Assistant) and I have developed over a year."

Great customer care. I have been very impressed with the service, follow up and ongoing support offered by Global Teams.
