Communication is a two way street. This axiom of business is elaborated upon more at Partner With A Virtual Assistant, the blog for Vanetworking.com, in a post written by Jackie Nees.
The post, entitled, Communication is Key when Working with a VA details several aspects of good communication between a client and a virtual assistant or virtual professional offering services beyond administrative assistance. The examples discuss communication options in the VERY beginning when the two parties are researching how they will work together. When both professionally remember that communication is a two way street, they insist on having more information appear to come from the other party! A client who does ALL of the talking doesn’t really get a chance to learn what that virtual professional can do beyond the task that led to the call in the first place. A virtual assistant who does ALL of the talking misses tips, nuances and direct information about what the client needs beyond that initial task.
Clients and virtual professionals who travel both ways done the communication road will have a stronger relationship to the benefit of tasks and business.
