Virtual Assistants to learn how to charge what they’re worth and have customers happy to pay

Tacoma, WA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 11/06/2006 --The subject of pricing often brings up feelings of fear and scarcity for Virtual Assistant business owners, and yet there is little guidance on how to handle it.

“Just raise your prices,” and “You have to charge what you’re worth” might sound good on paper, but don’t really tell Virtual Assistant business owners how to price without starving themselves or pushing away clients. Yet, pricing doesn’t have to be such a struggle. Everyone has had experiences when something was the right price, even if it was a lot of money, and they felt great about it.

So how do Virtual Assistants get there in their own businesses? Practice guidelines are needed, but Virtual Assistants also need permission to bring their heart into the picture, because the heart knows more than about finding the “Right Price” than it is given credit for.

This is the premise of an upcoming teleclass on November 16 presented by Mark Silver of Heart of Business to the Virtual Assistant community. Sponsored by the Virtual Assistance Chamber of Commerce, this teleclass will give Virtual Assistants a framework for pricing that takes into account not only business sense, but allows for the heart of the Virtual Assistant business owner to play a much bigger part.

A few of the concepts that will be covered include:

• The “Resonant” Price and how to find it;
• The myth of “worth” and how it keeps Virtual Assistants pricing low;
• The dangers that transactional thinking poses to profits, and how to avoid them;
• Why what the competition is charging is irrelevant, and how Virtual Assistants can set their own pricing confidently;
• Plus more, with whatever questions come up.
