My day started with a phone call from a potential team member. After our discussion, we decided she will become a member of RJ’s Word Processing Services team. Then I received a RFP, which I will subcontract to one of my current team members if I get the project. We communicated via several e-mails regarding the RFP. We also use IM for communicating, but not today. Next, I received another phone call from another potential team member. Then I had to type up a contract for the new team member. Next, I began putting together the proposal for the RFP. My day ended with a phone call from a potential client on the east coast. I’m on the west coast. Because of technology and the Internet, this is a typical day in the life a Virtual Assistant; at least, for this Virtual Assistant.
