Perfect Teamwork: A Coach and his/her Virtual Assistant
I like to work with different client profiles, that’s what, in my opinion, makes the job interesting.
But if I had to describe my ideal client, I would probably choose an independent coach. I
think that coaches (or public speakers) benefit the most of the skill set that a Virtual Assistant
(VA) has to offer: marketing and self-promotion, organization and administration.
If you think about it, a coach has quite a lot in common with a Virtual Assistant. Both run their
own business, usually as a solo-entrepreneur, both are responsible for their own marketing and
both work with clients on a one on one basis.
In order to “walk the talk”, coaches should focus their energy on what they do best (and what
produces income) and delegate the rest. There are many tasks which a Virtual Assistant can
manage and by doing so, free up time for the core business. Below are a few examples.
What can a VA do for a coach?
