Okay, so you know youve got the best darn designer tap shoes and weather resistant tutus around, but youre still falling short of the first million. Well, here are just five of the countless ways a VA can increase your revenue.

1. Constant Cash Flow
Rev up your Receivables. Do you invoice your clients promptly? If money isnt coming in as quickly as youd like, and your deposit slips are gathering dust, its time to turn over your billing to a Virtual Assistant. A VA will invoice your clients as frequently as you like, provide your customers a gentle reminder if something becomes overdue, or if you like, give them an assertive nudge when necessary.

2. Word of Mouth
Happy customers keep coming back, see the value in your service, and quickly spread the word of their happiness. Cha-Ching. Are your current customers and prospective clients provided the luxury of hearing a human voice when they call your place of business? Think about your personal preferences. Dont you experience a certain level of satisfaction when leaving your message with a real person? Compare that to the vacant, impersonal feeling youre left with after entrusting a machine to hold and deliver your communiqu. Give your customers good feelings! Forward your calls to your own personal Virtual Assistant who will professionally answer your phone calls and assure all of those who call that your business is indeed run by people who care about its customers.

3. Perception is Key.
The one vital factor, thats critical for your success, is how people perceive your operation. Did you know that the actual size of your company isnt important? Do you realize it doesnt matter how smoothly things genuinely run? Honestly! If your office is a closet, your files are stored in a shoebox and your desk is a cardboard box, its okay.. A Virtual Assistant can help ensure that true professionalism is evident throughout your company. Quality correspondence, frequent and friendly follow-up, and first rate customer service are a few of the ways a VA can secure a professional presence for your organization, hence keeping the money coming.

4. Do the Right Thing!
If you want what theyve got; do what they do! Youre a successful entrepreneur, right? I bet your business card says something impressive like President, CEO, or Owner. Great! Do you work smart? Have you created a vision for your business? Do you have a Plan B prepared for the next time a potential client tells you why he doesnt need your product or service? You cant be too busy to plan. Spending your time fumbling around a keyboard, hunting and pecking your way out of a beginning dump of physical memory error wont bring money in the door. If youre going to call yourself a CEO, act like one! Delegate! Find yourself a Virtual Assistant, spell out your short comings, and stand back. Youll be rubbing elbows with the bigwigs in no time.

5. Customer Satisfaction.
The best way to grow is to keep your current clients happy! Have you got a great client you havent heard from in a while? Would you like to give them a little reminder that youre available? Have your Virtual Assistant give them a call. This can pay off in several ways. First, your client will see youre not such a little guy after all. Youve actually got someone working with you. Hmmm. Interesting.

Second, you took the time to have someone follow-up. You do care! Lets see. With one phone call, youve told your client youre growing, youre professional, customer service is important to you, and you want their business.

With service like this, clients will keep coming back!
