Default Virtual Assistant Offers Unique Rewards Program

Virtual Assistant Offers Unique Rewards Program


Vital Office Solutions is pleased to offer an interesting incentive to anyone who refers a paying client.


PRLog (Press Release) -Apr 14, 2008 – The Virtual Assistance industry has been around for many years, providing much needed administrative assistance to individuals and businesses all over the world. They help entrepreneurs take care of the day-to-day tasks of running a business so more time is freed up to focus on clients and business building.

Many people still have no idea what a virtual assistant does so Christina Nelson, owner of Vital Office Solutions in NY, has come up with a way to “spread the word” and, at the same time, benefit those who help do just that.

For the rest of 2008 anyone who refers a paying client to Vital Office Solutions will receive cash once a month, for up to 6 months, after the first paid invoice.

You read that right.

CASH!

The fine print? It’s simple.
-Refer a new client before the end of 2008.

-If that client becomes a paying client, the referrer gets 25% of the total of each paid invoice for 6 consecutive months. (must be consecutive months)

- Each month when the invoice is paid, the referrer will be sent a money order, with a copy of the paid invoice(confidential info blacked out, of course), for 25% of the invoice total.

A “win-win” situation for all involved.

So if you know of anyone who could use the help of a virtual assistant, be sure to pass along the name Vital Office Solutions.

Cute idea Christine, but if I were doing this program, I would pay out the 25% at the end of the 6 months. What if the referred client bails after the 2nd or 3rd month?

I mention in the release that it must be consecutive months, in other words, if they bail after 2 months, the referrer gets paid for 2 months and then nothing. Even if client comes back later, referrer only gets paid for the original 2 months because the time isn't consecutive.

Also, it says, referrer gets the 25% based on each paid invoice, client doesn't pay- referrer doesn't get paid.

I made sure to cover all bases

Sorry misread it. Hope it goes well for you. I'm not sure I'd want to give away 25% of my income though.

I've had a few people send referrals but the referrals didn't sign on.
I haven't promoted this in awhile so I am making sure to add it to my new newsletter and am working on submitting to various places on the web.

Great idea Christina, I hope it brings you lots of new clients but I have to agree with Julia, not sure I would want to give up 25% for 6 months. Just my 2 cents
