As Virtual Assistants and business owners, we often wonder how we can get more clients. For most service based businesses, the way we find the majority of our clients is through word of mouth. We get our clients because satisfied clients are referring us to others that they know. However, this is not the only people that can help to increase your client base through word of mouth. Anyone and everyone could easily promote your business on your behalf.

Take the time to tell everyone about who you are, what you do and who your ideal client is and then give them an incentive for telling someone what you just told them. The best way to do this is to offer them an incentive or a reward.

So I’m putting it out to you now … do you have a referral program you would like to share? What is working for your business and how are you rewarding others, including your clients, for spreading the word?
