If you are a virtual assistant who is not offering meeting planning as a service, you may be leaving money on the table. In this economy (world), for our businesses to thrive, we need as many clients as we can get, keep as many of them as we can, and get as much revenue out of each client as possible. Or as Adam Urbanski, the Marketing Mentor, would say: attract more clients, increase client retention and add profit multipliers. Here are 5 reasons why adding meeting planning to your tool kit can increase your profits.
- Meeting Planning is one of the Top 10 most requested services for virtual assistants Planning meetings and events takes a great deal of time, an eye for detail and many specialized skills that a busy entrepreneur just does not want to deal with. As such, meeting planning is the perfect thing to outsource to a virtual assistant.
- Meeting Planning can vastly widen your prospect pool Entrepreneurs understand that events are a great marketing tool. Coaches need to hold workshops and boot camps. Small business owners need to participate in trade shows and organize their booths. Many companies need to have thank you events for their current clients. All these events need to be planned and a virtual assistant is the perfect person for the job.
- Get more money out of your current clients Many of your current clients would like to have meetings and events, but they may not be sure where to start. Or perhaps they already have meetings they plan and trade shows they participate. By offering this service to your current clients, you will be able to lighten their load and increase your revenue.
- Get paid to network with potential clients Many times, coaching boot camps, marketing summits, etc. need on site management as well. As a virtual assistant, you do not get out of the office much. But perhaps you should on this occasion. Many of these events target busy entrepreneurs and small business owners, the very people who are your target market. You will be able to show off your skills, network with potential prospects and perhaps pick up a client or two.
- Increase client retention If you do not offer this service, someone else will. And although there is something to be said for specializing, we all know that our clients don't want to hunt for yet another service provider. They would like to work with someone they already know and trust: you! Chances are that if they find another virtual assistant that can serve their needs and also can handle their meeting planning business, they will jump ship. Be the one they jump to, not the one they jump from!
These are 5 excellent reasons to add meeting planning and to promote your business in most innovative manner with virtual assistant services to your business plan . When you add meeting planning to your virtual assistant arsenal, you can attract new clients, retain your current clients and making more revenue from the clients you already have.
