1. FEATURE
ARTICLE-"WELCOME TO QUICK KEYS NEWS(TM)"
Welcome to the premier issue of Quick Keys News(TM)! This
newsletter has been designed with you in mind to thank you for your support as clients,
colleagues, family and friends.
Quick Keys News(TM) will be published monthly as a gift from me to each
of you. It will come via e-mail and will contain valuable information to help you
make your life easier. Part of Quick Keys'(TM) Mission Statement states that we want
to "...support creativity and choices to design the ultimate business and personal
lifestyles". Hopefully the information you gain from these newsletters will
help you in getting to that "perfect" place in your life.
The "FEATURE ARTICLE" section of the newsletter will contain a
letter or message from me on a particular topic or issue. This "theme"
will be followed throughout the newsletter in the other sections. This month, I will
take the time to introduce the newsletter and what you will find in each section.
Please feel free to e-mail me at any time with questions, comments or
suggestions at Beth@QuickKeys.com. I hope
you enjoy the information you receive.
2. VIRTUAL VALUE
In the "VIRTUAL VALUE" section a tip or bit of information
will be provided to assist you in working in the "virtual world". If you have a
tip you would like to submit to Quick Keys News(TM) e-mail Beth@QuickKeys.com.
"What is a Virtual Assistant"
A Virtual Assistant is a Personal Assistant who works from their office location and
offers all of the services of an "in office" Secretary, Administrative
Assistant, and Office Manager. Most are available beyond the corporate 9:00 - 5:00
schedule.
All Virtual Assistants offer different services to their clients. Some
of these services may include Internet Research, Web Design, Client Contact, Event
Planning, Date Reminders, Appointment Setting, Travel Arrangements, Mailings, Bookkeeping,
etc...
A Virtual Assistant is a person that can make your life easier. By
delegating tasks to a Virtual Assistant, you allow yourself more free time to help you
create the business and personal lifestyle you desire.
3. Q&A FOR THE VA
I am often asked questions pertaining to Virtual Assisting or the
"Virtual" world. Each month, in this section, I will share one of those
questions with you. These questions may come from other Virtual Assistants, from
clients or from friends and family. If you have a question, please e-mail Beth@QuickKeys.com.
Q/ I own a small business and I
never feel like I have enough time to do the things I love to do. What kind of
things could I delegate to a Virtual Assistant?
A/ What I usually suggest to new
clients, or potential clients is to look around your desk or office, and make a list of
all that needs to be done (phone calls, newsletter, mailing, etc.). Within this list
there will be things that only YOU can handle. Put a check mark next to these
items. Now go back through those check marks - look again...are they really items
only YOU can handle, or are they something that can be delegated to a Virtual Assistant? You may find that you
are draining valuable time by doing things that a Virtual Assistant could easily manage for you. In learning how to
utilize a Virtual Assistant, don't be afraid to talk to your VA, and ask about ways he/she
can help you. You may receive other suggestions that you never thought of.
Also, ask yourself these questions:
1) What is the "ideal" position you want to have in YOUR business?
2) What are your strengths and weaknesses?
3) What do you enjoy doing for the business?
4) What do you dread the most about the business?
Just think, if you can concentrate on your strengths and do the tasks
you love to do - how much better you will feel and more productive you will be. This
will reflect in your business and personal life!
4. CLIENT'S CORNER
This is a section where I will showcase my clients! I have some
clients that offer Teleclasses or workshops or other items that may be of interest to the
rest of you. If you are interested in any of the topics listed, just follow the
