How to Create a Signature Service for Your Virtual Assistant Business

As a Virtual Assistant, likely one of the best ways to describe your services is “flexible.” Especially as a General VA, flexibility is one thing that seemingly allows you to keep growing your business. Because you probably don’t specialize in one specific area, you’re able to keep adjusting and bending to your clients’ needs and adding more skills to your bucket.

However, another common theme within the VA world is one that we believe can become detrimental: hourly pricing. As you become more efficient in your work and take less time to complete things, this comes back to bite you in the rear.

The solution? Honing into a signature service that you can offer at a package rate. In this blog post, we’ll be diving into what a signature service is and how you can create one for your Virtual Assistant business!

Introducing the Freedom Era: How to Reignite Your High Level Service Based Business Before Burnout Defines You

Do you know how to actually prioritize life-first, work less, enjoy your personal time more, develop hobbies, not be so consumed by work, all the while making good moolah? The answer is probably not, even though literally every business owner ever aims to accomplish all of this.
