White labeling is such a fantastic idea ! I've never known the correct term for it aside from calling the relationship a "referral" but i see how in this case the 3rd person doesn't have to be hands on with the client ! Such great information. I truly appreciate you for sharing

Hi Abbey Thanks for the information. One quick question, let's say you already have a VA agency, then client contacts you and he said "I want someone to handle my social media channels, line up at least 4 candidates". Now, do I have to charge him for like a placement fee? reason being is sure you're interested, but we go out and find that talents, screen, interview, and when we the line up is in place and we try to tell you that the candidates are ready, then you can't reach the client anymore. How do you solve this? or how can we improve the process to avoid wasting effort

I have a really really hard time buying into this Abby. I’ve been researching VA and stumbled across your program for about a month now. However everytime I search for reviews, everything is wildly positive! Almost too positive though...like almost every review sounds the same. In every business it’s ok to have some bad reviews, it shows that they’re real. Yet every time I look for a single bad or even SLIGHTLY bad review I can’t find ANY. This is concerning to me as I’ve also heard you delete bad reviews. Help me understand why I as a customer to your class should trust you please? Help show me that this is real, where are the concerns for your class. NOTHING is 100% positive.

As for your other question, my story is a little different than some. I started because I simply knew I didn't want to go back to my corporate job and I wanted to be home and present with my kids. I have a background in marketing, so I knew how to put myself out there and one day just started calling myself a VA. I reached out to potential clients, I joined entrepreneurial facebook groups, and I started with general admin work. I put in the time and effort to make my dreams a reality, and it paid off. I started signing clients and eventually had so many that I started subcontracting. I had so many people asking how I was actually doing things so I decided to create a course. My students have been so successful that word has spread and this part of the business took off. I love to serve and this allowed me to do that for SO many people that it just felt like the right avenue. I no longer offer any VA services to clients.
