  6. @Beks76 A13 absolutely, otherwise, they are not worth working with #adminchat
  7. RT @HelenStothard: A12 how you convey your message is crucial, dont sell them price, sell them a solution, and solve their pain #adminchat
  8. A12 However, if they are understanding about outsourcing, then there are few overheads for the client and lots of flexibility #adminchat
  9. Q12 - actually if a client likes control and someone in the office, you are never going to persuade them to use a VA #adminchat

  14. A9, I ditto @Helenstothard says.... you can't buy self respect and confidence. That is what being your own boss means #adminchat
  15. A9 - I like to think so, but because of the way self employment is structured, you can earn more, by not earning as much. #adminchat
  16. A8 and make sure you keep your own books up to date. Very important to know the bottom line at all costs #adminchat
  17. A8 - whilst I am not a fan of these a business plan/marketing plan so that you know what you want to do #adminchat
