Determining Your Niche Pt. 2

Niche

The development of a niche is definitely a must have for a successful VA practice. Typically it’s what sets apart the successful from the struggling. While you may feel as though you are limiting yourself when you first start, remember “a confused mind always says no.” If you are offering a laundry list of services to everyone and anyone, what sets you apart from the crowd? When you stop to take the time to focus and develop and action plan, everything will fall into place.

Here is a brief exercise to get you moving in the right direction.

Become a Master Craftsman

Your “Niche Assignment”

1. List your five talents.

2. List five things you love to do.

3. What types of industries need the services you can provide?

4. What industries are you familiar with?

5. List as many of the qualifying demographics of the industry you have identified.

6. What are the defining characteristics that would draw a targeted market to you and what solutions can your business create for that market?

If you need assistance with getting your practice up and running, I encourage you to look into the January session of Virtual Assistant Training.
