Today was the final session of our Hot Skills Virtual Assistant Training program. Over the last 6 weeks my partner Tina Forsyth and I have met each Tuesday and Thursday morning with a great group of Virtual Assistants to train them in the essential skills required by online based business owners.

The training includes:

• Developing Your Marketing Mindset

- Clients want to hire a VA who is willing to take initiative and play more of a ‘partner’ role vs. simply taking care of administrative tasks. We shared how a Virtual Assistant can her Marketing Mindset and attract (and retain) high-level clients.

• Setting up the Shopping Cart -Setting up any of the 1ShoppingCart systems from scratch including client preferences, merchant accounts, customizing the look and feel, setting up autoresponders, broadcasts, ad trackers and much more.
• Completely Automating a Teleclass - setting up a seamless teleclass process - from the beginning to follow-up.

This is just a small sample of what we covered. Participants continously shared their enthusiasm during the program and we have already received many kind and sincere comments from the group.

As much as we’re sad the program is over, we are excited to see how these Virtual Assistants will implement various strategies to create a rewarding, flexible and successful business.

Stay tuned for the next program this fall!
