Davis Virtual Assistants

Tools of the Trade: Those systems to which are we so completely addicted it’s difficult imagining a day without them! Such is the case with my favorite web-based database management system. TrackVia is superb at what it does, and does it very inexpensively. What it does is allow me to create, manage, update, export, etc., any number of databases. But it doesn’t stop there! The site creates HTML-ready web forms (see my Contact Us form for an example) and TrackVia generates mailing labels and mail merge templates, along with e-mail and fax campaigns. It truly is a one-stop-shop of database management needs.

The clincher for registering, and staying with, the good folks at TrackVia is their Killer Customer Care. I’ve heard from Matt Strenz (Lead Support Engineer) on many occasions, and would you believe TrackVia’s Director of Marketing Ed Dunigan picked up the phone and called yours truly! Love it, love it, love it. I realize TrackVia epitomizes what we’ve come to know as a “small business,” and yet this is one “small” business which is playing a big game and is destined for greatness.

I encourage all my Killer Sharks (and my Guppies who are ready to dive into the deep end of the pool) to register for their 14 day free trial and get to know this superb database system for yourself. As always, a live demo is yours for the asking by calling 866.611.LORI.

Did you know the world’s most amazing virtual assistant company has two must-attend Webinars later this month? Well, you know now, and now is the time to register and secure your spot! Read on for more …

Ask the Virtual Assistant Webinar

It comes down to this: I’ve got the knowledge you need to help you get your own VA practice up and running. I want your brain cells crammed with information, and I want you excited and energized about starting your own business! Living and working the “virtual lifestyle” is one of the toughest things you’ll ever attempt, and your interest in my world is best-served when we mind-meld for 60 minutes. During the first part of the Webinar, I’ll discuss my history and how I got into this field, the 1 thing you should never do when you sign a new client, and other juicy tidbits of knowledge. Thereafter, the floor is open to you and all those questions roaming around in that gorgeous head of yours. Give me 60 minutes of your time, and you’ll walk away with a better comprehension of what it takes to truly become a successful Virtual Assistant.

HTML Webinar

HTML, or Hypertext Markup Language, is a basic technical skill all Virtual Assistants must possess. Don’t argue with me on this point, for you know I’m right! Clients need their VA to apply basic coding to their Craig’s List and Backpage ads, along with their articles and their blog posts. I know that HTML codes look like hieroglyphics, and I know you’re scared about acquiring this skill. Let go of both of these things, right here, right now. I’ve got a passion for sharing my knowledge, and I want to ensure you’ve got the skills you need to make you very successful. One of the skills you must have is HTML Basics. We’ll discuss Lists, E-mail Linkage, Image Linkage, Hyperlinks (and of course SEO) and a wide variety of other HTML codes. You’ll dazzle your clients and at the end of training, you’ll wonder what all the fuss was about! Give me 2 hours of your time, via the comfort of your own home, and I’ll give you a skill you’ll use for life.
