Should you offer discounts or free work as a virtual assistant?
It feels like a strategic move at first, doesn’t it? You think maybe offering a free trial or a discounted rate will help you land your first few clients.
You imagine those clients being so impressed with your work that they’ll stay on, pay full price later, and send you referrals.
But does it really work like that? What do you think?
Time to look at this with a fresh perspective - in this episode I want you to get a clear, confident answer to this question - and more importantly, a pricing approach that supports your long-term success, not just your short-term comfort.
Because that’s really what wanting to work for free is all about.
Confidence comes from charging what you’re worth. It comes from setting boundaries. It comes from building a business that actually supports your life. It comes from a strategy and daily actions that work to get you clients.
And if you don’t know how to do that yet—that’s okay. That’s what I’m here for.
If this is something you’ve been struggling with, if you’ve been offering free work, undercharging, or second-guessing your prices, let’s fix that together.
If you need support to move faster and with more clarity, I’m here…
It’s the only reason I’m here at all, is to help you become a ridiculously VA. Drop me a DM to chat about where you are stuck. I’m on all the social media channels, so find me where you are. Or go to YourVAMentor.com/links to connect with me.
We can work together to look at your pricing, packages, and positioning, and we align everything to the business you want to build.
No guesswork. No fear-based decisions. Just clear steps and real confidence.
And great clients!!!
You deserve better than “just getting by.” Let’s build something stronger for you - and for your clients.
I’m Tracey D’Aviero, The Confidence Coach for VAs - and I’ll see you next time!
