Default Study on who's most likely to use VAs
Good morning all,

Has there ever been an industry study done on who's mostly likely to use VAs?

Not that I've seen...but the beauty of our industry is that ANYONE is a potential client! It's up to us to be proactive when talking with business owners so we can be ready to tell them why they need us!

Great point Bri - I totally agree! It wouldn't really matter what results a study like that came up with because in my experience at least half of my most active clients aren't exactly what you would consider traditional 'businesses' - for instance, who would guess that an actor would need a VA? Or a dance choreographer? But they do!

A VA is an assistant who is virtually at your side, whatever your business.

When I started out a year ago I thought I knew exactly you my clients would be (solopreuneurs, that are homebased). Almost half of them have out -of-home offices with 10+ employees yet can't get to a certain project so they contract me. I guess anyone is a potential client.

I agree with everyone above - anyone in any field is a potential client.

A VA can work for anybody. Everybody uses words. We can help everyone!
