Virtually Priceless

This is a common worry that we often hear from prospective clients but, in our six years as a VA agency, although each company has its own unique qualities and approaches, we’ve never encountered this being an issue.   A good VA will flex their skills to best support your goals. In time, they will learn your specific business needs and become great at thinking ahead to what you need before you know you need it (we call a great VA your ‘second brain’). The thing is, you don’t need them to understand every technical detail of your products/services from day one…  What you do need is support behind the scenes to keep the wheels turning from someone who is super-organised, has great attention to detail, thinks on their feet, and knows how to prioritise.   And if you decide you need a VA with specific experience, there are plenty of specialised VAs in industries including construction, healthcare, technology, and so on… At Virtually Priceless, we work with a range of clients to grow their businesses by taking away their day-to-day stress and becoming a trusted partner, and our VAs are always matched to the client’s individual needs. If you need support from a VA but you’re not sure what that could look like for your business, why not take our free quiz: What level of support do I need? (linked in the comments below 👇🏻). Simply answer 13 questions and we’ll send you a personalised recommendation of the services Virtually Priceless can offer to support you and your teams, based on your unique requirements. #VirtualAssistant #BusinessSupport #Outsourcing #VirtualAssistantServices

Recently at Atomicon 2024, which Holly attended along with a few members of Team VP, we listened to an inspiring talk from Davina McCall who shared several stories from throughout her career where persistence, determination, and true grit paid off time and time again.  She recalled how she wanted a job at MTV so badly that she recorded and sent a video to the executives there every single week for 3 years. Despite the countless rejections, she never gave up and finally landed her first audition. Her attitude is that “No is a yes that hasn’t happened yet” – which we absolutely love.  She also shared how many of her most successful ventures – such as her campaign to raise awareness for the menopause and her fitness business Own Your Goals – were not supported by others at the beginning. Yet these have gone on to be some of the most successful things she’s ever done.  Davina’s story serves as a great reminder that whatever rejections or objections come our way as business owners, we have to keep pushing forward and refuse to give up until we achieve our goals. Is there something you were told ‘No’ to and then gave up? Can you revisit this dream with Davina’s determination? 🌴Fancy joining us at Atomicon 2025?🌴 There's a special offer on right now for 56% off your ticket price that Holly can offer to you as an affiliate partner.
