What Skills Do You Need to Become a Virtual Assistant?

April 4, 2019

Today I’m sharing with you the top three most important skills you need to be successful as a virtual assistant. A virtual assistant is kind of like an online executive or administrative assistant but any person serving in that role does so much more. They might do social media management, managing somebody’s calendar, keeping control of their email inbox, and doing all kinds of strategic things behind the scenes that make it easier for companies and individual solopreneurs to accomplish their goals. 

While there are many different areas that a virtual assistant might specialize in, it’s key for any virtual assistant to have certain skills in order to be successful. If you master these three skills you will be off to a great start as a virtual assistant and well-positioned to impress clients and gain new clients through word-of-mouth referrals. Watch the video to learn which skills you should develop to become a virtual assistant.
