Default Approaching Serviced Office Centres...any advice?
Hi all

I read a post a couple of weeks ago (which I can't find now) written by an excited VA who had arranged for this serviced office space company to pass on her contact information to any of their clients clients who requested secretarial support.

I'd really like to try this with some similar companies in Sydney, and was wondering if anyone had any idea how I would approach this. I have started to draft up a letter to introduce myself and thought I would include some flyers and business cards in a package to send out to these companies I have found on the web.

Has anyone else approached these types of companies?

Do you think I should go in and introduce myself and drop this info off, or just mail packages out and hope for the best?

I want to offer them something in return for any referrals they give me that results in work, but I have no idea how I would draw something like that up, or even what I would offer them. Would I offer them a kind of once-off commission per client in return for referrals?

Any help on this would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi Jacqui
I think this might be the post you were looking for (assuming it was on this site?)
