Re: They just don't understand the concept
Having gone through the "deer in the headlights" scenario frequently, these days I introduce myself as a Freelance Executive Assistant - those three words they understand. "Freelance" that will save a lot of money "Executive Assistant Sure could use one.
I'm not 100% virtual as, working locally, I will meet to go over a project and brainstorm occasionally and will also go in initially (as is suits my schedule) to organize an office, set up systems and procedures. Once, and if, I then have their attention we can get into the "mostly virutual" aspect. Having laid the groundwork, the "virtual" part is easier for them to understand and more palatable.
