In the April 2006 Accent newsletter, Ramona Goutiere of the Accent News Group talks with virtual assistance industry data guru Robert Brenner about how VAs can use smart marketing to get ahead.
April 15, 2006 (Press Release) --
In January 2006 Accent ran the first part of its two-part series on the Brenner Information Group’s “Special Report: A Comprehensive Study of the Virtual Assistance Industry -- Demographics, Profiles and Pricing,” a groundbreaking look at how VAs manage and market their businesses. Part I dealt with what VAs make and what they charge. In “Brenner Report Part II: Smart Marketing for VAs” (available at http://www.EmphasisOnSuccess.com), Accent staff writer Ramona Goutiere talks directly with Robert Brenner, head of the Brenner Information Group (http://www.brennerbooks.com), about marketing strategies that work for VAs – and why.
“Accent wanted to go one-on-one with Robert Brenner because he’s made such a tremendous impact on the VA industry,” notes Goutiere, owner of Goutiere Professional Business Services (http://www.GetGPBS.com), a virtual firm specializing in nonprofit management, writing services and administrative support. “This interview is filled with practical marketing information that VAs can put to immediate use.”
Brenner offers strong encouragement for VAs looking to get ahead: “The opportunities for VAs have never been better. Claim your share of the market by promoting yourself every waking moment of every day. Blow your own horn because others won’t do this for you. Tell everyone that you’re here. And tell them what you can do for them. Act professional and you’ll be successful.”
The rest of Accent’s April edition concentrates on security issues, with a bonus technology review. Readers will find articles on:
• Airport security horror stories
• Client confidentiality
• Computer safety
• Personal protection for home business owners
• Safe Internet surfing
• Digital security and unsolicited e-mail attachments
• Privacy and the use of microchips
