Virtual Assistant Training: The Basics

• Task Management: No matter the service you offer, you’ll need a way to track tasks. Some clients may have a system they use already, while others will look to you for suggestions. We recommend learning Trello, Asana and Teamwork.
• General Admin Skills: You’ll need to have a few admin tricks up your sleeve too. We recommend learning how to use Google Docs, DropBox, Microsoft Office products, basic photo and video editing, and basic accounting skills.
• Personal Growth: You’ll also need to evaluate your personal skills and build-up whatever you may not be an expert at yet. Things like: selling your services, being proactive, organization, communicating well in writing, over the phone and on video calls, proofreading, etc.

Virtual Assistant Training: Specialize

• Now that you have your foundation, it’s time to get serious about Virtual Assistant training. Before you do anything else, think about the exact services you plan to offer. Will you be doing social media, email marketing, websites, sales pages, etc. Once you know that, you can decide exactly which skills you need to learn.

For example, if you’ve decided to offer email marketing services:

You’ll need to know at least 2-3 of the most common email marketing systems. Start with Convertkit, Mailchimp, and one other (Drip, Infusionsoft, Kartra, etc). Learn the basics like designing and scheduling emails, creating opt-in forms and go from there. Most systems allow you to set-up test accounts without playing so you can practice!

You’ll Be Flying High!

It sounds like a lot, but you don’t have to do it all at one time. Plan to devote 5 hours a week on your training and you’ll be amazed what a BIG difference it makes.  You have the time.

You can do it the hard way and learn as you go, but it’ll take you longer, create a ton of unnecessary stress, and will end up costing you a lot of wasted time AND money.

If you’re really serious about becoming a v.a., then quality virtual assistant training is the best investment you can make in your business and yourself.
