When I first consult with new clients I let them know that my philosophy is to work with you, not for you.  I explain that if I have a clear idea of your vision or mission I can help you achieve your goals.  These are some of the topics and questions that I review on my initial consult:

What can you tell me about your company that is not available on your website or in your promotional materials? This usually opens up discussion on how they started, got to where they were at, some of their challenges and their general business philosophies.

What are your greatest business challenges that are holding you back from devoting time to your clients? Often times potential clients do not realize that some business tasks are being forgotten or being pushed further down the to-do list.

If you could choose one area of immediate need, what would it be? This will make the business owner prioritize and you would be surprised at how many actually think one need is vital when in fact it is not.

Where do you see your company in five years and what, if anything, will stop you from reaching your goals? If I know your vision then I can help you to achieve it.  I have a diverse range of skills and you may be calling me for bookkeeping but my organization and planning experience will help you launch a new campaign.

What is important to you? I like to know if it is spending more time with their family, growing their business or even having time to breath.

I feel that in order to be your virtual business office, I need to know of all your needs and wants.  I also want to know about you and your vision so that I can help you achieve your goals.  And in return I will achieve mine, which are growing My Office Assistant and using my skills to make you more successful.

All the best,

Lee Drozak ~ My Office Assistant
