“What Else?”

So, last week’s Weekly VA Marketing Tip was a heavy one, so I’ll go easy on you this time ’round! (Now you have more time to continue working on your small report!)

This week, it’s really simple. I want you to send an individual, personalized email message to each of your current clients (include past clients if your list isn’t long enough) and ask this simple question: What else can I do for you?

That’s it.

It’s all about creating front of mind awareness — which also goes by its ugly acronym, FOMA.

Some may have nothing for you now, but you may be surprised what comes your way because you took the initiative. If you get a positive reply, call them right away to find out more.

Why not continue the email conversation? Two reasons:

1. If your clients are lazy anything like me, they figure it’s faster to actually do the task than to type an email about it. You calling them saves them the frustration of tediously typing out their instructions.
2. Your clients are busy, that’s why they needed you in the first place. They may not have time to respond to your email right away. You calling them saves you from playing the email reply waiting game.

Pick up the phone and get them to tell you what they need help with.

Let us know how it goes!

Have an awesome week.
