About this episode
Hands down one of the most stressful things new virtual assistants have to tackle is when they're asked to provide a proposal or quote for task/s they've got no idea how long will take to carry out.
The bad news is that you’re going to get it wrong. You’re likely to underestimate the time it will take, and you’ll forget to charge out for certain things.
But the good news is that it’s okay to get it wrong! With the correct process in place you’ll very quickly learn and tweak so the next time you’re asked to quote for a similar task, you’ll be prepped with a proposal that will be well worth your time.
In this episode you’ll learn:
- How to quote for tasks you’ve never carried out before.
- Why you’re going to get your prices and quotes wrong to start with, and that’s okay!
- The must-have tool that ensures accurate estimates and quotes.
- The things you may be forgetting to charge for.
