Virtual Assistant Forums Hosts Free Educational Event: Project Management Basics


On January 11, 2010, at 9PM EST Dave Churchville of ClientSpot discusses project management concepts, techniques for managing client expectations, and tips for delivering projects on time and under budget.

Virtual Assistant Forums (VAF) welcomes Dave Churchville, the visionary behind the innovative virtual collaboration and project management software ClientSpot, to the community chatroom for an in-depth discussion on a simple approach to effectively and profitably manage client projects, including solutions for related issues and challenges.

On Monday, January 11, at 9 PM EST / 6 PM PST, Dave will review basic project management concepts, techniques for managing client expectations, and different pricing models in addition to tips for consistently delivering on time and under budget. He will also demonstrate to how Virtual Assistants can use ClientSpot in their own businesses as well as their clients’, for better overall results and a higher profit margin, all while increasing quality of service.

Elaborating on the need for effective project management, particularly in a service industry like Virtual Assistance, Churchville explains, "I’ve found that many small service businesses don’t spend much time thinking about managing projects because they’re too busy just working on them. But as they start to grow without basic systems in place to track progress, accurately estimate work, and communicate effectively, the business can really struggle to be consistently profitable and reliable."
