The idea of a welcome packet is nice. Since I'll be heading Customer Relations, I think I have to go and make this for our company.

Thanks peeps for the wonderful idea.

Great thread. Although I do have a welcome kit, I'm realizing it is incomplete. I'll have to update it soon.

I am extremely new to the VA world--actually, had not really considered it until I ran across a business development website--and I think Ill do it. My niche will be debt collections. However, I love the idea of a welcome packet. Everyone concentrates on brochures and business cards. But, this is great.

I have been on this site all afternoon and have gained so much information. This afternoon I have made so much progress on getting my business ready to promote and a welcome packet is another thing that I will work on. Great idea. Thanks so much.

I put together a package but am not sure when to give it out. When I make a presentation, I have a tri-fold leave behind that I give out which incorporates my business card as well. Should I hand out this customer welcome packet as well or should I wait until they have expressed interest in using my service?
Thank you,

Tina,

I'm still setting up my business and haven't started any of this yet, but it seems like the Welcome Packet would be when you actually "enrolled" a new client.

It sounds like these programs are pretty expensive. Does Google provide any storage or sharing of files? They seem to offer quite a bit of freebies.
