You’ve just launched your virtual secretary business and you’re unsure where to begin when it comes to prospecting and client retention? Here are a few tips to help you get started right.

Be Visible Online

Having a website is a real asset. Competition in the virtual secretary and independent call-answering market is intense.
For potential clients to find you through a simple online search, your website needs proper preparation.
A targeted and well-executed SEO strategy is essential so your site appears quickly in searches made by potential clients.

Leverage Social Media

If you’re not ready to invest time in building a website, turn to social networks. They are a powerful communication channel for independent professionals.

Make yourself known on platforms like Facebook and Twitter.
Share relevant posts about your activity and engage with other virtual secretaries and your existing clients. This helps build the image of an active professional who is committed to their work and customer base.
This visibility can only help you attract new clients.

LinkedIn deserves a special mention: it allows you to showcase your services to other professionals and connect with them directly via the platform’s opportunities.

Don’t Underestimate Networking and Word of Mouth

While online presence is essential, networking and word of mouth remain the most effective ways to find new clients.

By building a loyal client base, your customers will recommend you within their own networks.
Nurturing your relationships is the best way to see them grow.

You can rely on different networks
• your customers’ network
• other virtual secretary services
• your suppliers
• professional groups
