Virtual Assistant: The Ultimate Tool For Coaches & Public Speakers

Let me start by saying that I am a huge fan of coaches and public speakers. I love to see them succeed in their fields, and I want to help as many of them as possible. So I decided to do something about it: get an assistant!

In this post, we'll take a look at what being a virtual assistant means for coaches and public speakers (from the perspective of someone who has actually used one), how they can use it to their advantage (and avoid some common pitfalls), and why you should consider hiring one if your business requires travel or remote work at least once every few months.

Travel and Scheduling

If you're traveling for a gig, you don't have to worry about finding time off from work. Your assistant will handle all of the scheduling and logistics for your trip, so all that's left on your plate is simply getting excited about it (and maybe even making sure that phone doesn't ring too much).

You might be surprised at how much your life can change when you have an assistant. You'll find that tasks are getting done faster and more efficiently, which means less stress for you. And if you're looking for a new way to make your business run more smoothly, hiring an assistant is one of the best ways to do it.

Increase Your Social Presence

Social media is an excellent way to increase your influence and brand.

When you post on social media, it’s easy for people who follow you or interact with you to see what kind of content resonates with them. If they like it, they will share it with others who might also be interested in learning more about the topic at hand. This can be especially helpful if you have a niche audience (like coaches) or if there are specific keywords that people search when looking for something specific like public speaking tips or how-to articles on LinkedIn Groups pages (which I know firsthand).

The key here isn't just having great content but also knowing how best execute these types of posts so as not only attract new followers but retain those ones who already follow/like/followed/etc., as well!

Research Speaking Engagement Opportunities

It's important to research speaking engagements in order to find the right fit for your goals and schedule. If you're looking for an opportunity that will help with your business growth, then focus on events where there are other coaches or speakers present. This way, you'll get a chance to network with them and learn from their experiences as well.

Schedule speaking engagement follow up

After scheduling an event or conference where you're presenting, send out a follow-up email letting people know when they can expect to receive their materials or talk directly with you about what happened at the event itself!

Preparing Pitch Materials

As a speaker or coach, you should prepare pitch materials for your audience. These include:

• A pitch deck—a concise summary of the main points of your presentation including slides and suggested questions you can use when speaking with clients or members of the media.
• A script—a script that outlines all or most of your speech including any other information such as background stories, examples of what you've accomplished in the past and how those experiences apply to their situation today (e.g., "I've been coaching people who have been through divorce").

A marketing plan—this is a document that outlines your strategy for attracting clients. It should include things like what you'll offer, how much it costs and how long it takes to complete the process.

A marketing plan can also include things like what type of media you'll use to reach your audience, how often you want to publish new content and where that content will be published.

Lead Generation

Lead generation is the process of generating new leads, or prospects, for a business. It can be done through a variety of means, including marketing, advertising and public relations. Lead generation is often used as a part of your sales funnel because it helps you build that initial connection with your audience so that when it comes time to make an offer on their services or products in the future—you’re already “known” by them.

LinkedIn Connections

LinkedIn is a powerful tool for finding potential clients and coaches. You can use this platform to expand your network, find potential speakers, collaborators and more. When you connect with someone on LinkedIn, they will see that you are connected to them and may want to add you as a connection too! This helps make it easier for them to refer business opportunities or projects that they think would be good fits for you.

Calendar management

As a coach and public speaker, you’re busy. You have more than one thing going on at once—and it's important to keep track of all of your appointments, commitments, and upcoming events.

However, if you want to take it up a notch there are some things that can help:

• Schedule appointments in advance.* Create an agenda for each day or week so that nothing falls through the cracks.* Keep track of what needs attention when (e.g., your next gig).

Hiring a VA Will Minimize the Time You Spend on All These Tasks, Giving You the Opportunity to Focus On Your Business Strategy, Your Clients, and All Things That Move the Needle in Your Business.

As a business owner, you know how important it is to focus on your clients and the work you do. But being an entrepreneur in the world of public speaking means that there are often too many things competing for your attention. That's why hiring a VA will help minimize the time you spend on all these tasks, giving you the opportunity to focus on what matters most: making money from what you love doing—and helping other people do the same thing!

If you're looking for an assistant who can take over some of these responsibilities so that they don't eat into your own productivity or efficiency—or if simply having someone else take care of some things would make life easier—a virtual assistant might be worth considering as part of your team today.
