Start Your Virtual Assistant Business Workshop
Are you interested in setting up your own virtual assistant business but are sick and tired of all the expensive start up courses out there that don’t even answer the basic questions? The VA Success Group has recognised that those aspiring to be virtual assistants need a practical course answering the most basic questions such as ‘is this right for me and how much money can I make’.

The VA Success Group founders Emma and Justine have had many people contact them saying they have been on training and coaching courses to become a Virtual Assistant, but then ask them basic questions, such as:

  • What software and equipment do I need?
  • Do I have to register as a limited company
  • What services are in demand?
  • What business model should I go for?
  • How do I actually complete the work?
  • What policies do I need?
  • How should I price my services?
  • ... And many more!

If you want to learn all the insiders secrets from two of the most successful virtual assistants in the UK today, both still running their own busy VA businesses, this is your chance.

  • Find out if becoming a Virtual Assistant is right for you
  • No need to spend the whole weekend away from your home or family

Whatapalava – Your Event – Your Team
You have been given the task of organising the next gathering of important clients or colleagues. You rightly demand the highest levels of quality and service to create that special atmosphere that will impress every guest. It could take hours, even days, to source the caterers, flowers and many other services that are needed to create the right mood...and you still have your day to day responsibilities... but help is now at hand...

A new service has been launched specifically for Personal Assistants and Virtual Assistants, with the aim of making your lives easier when faced with the task of organising that important drinks reception or dinner. whatapalava is a service with a difference. You will maintain total control of your event, whilst having complete access to every member of the team. This allows you to be confident that your detailed requirements are being attended to by each of our specialist team members. This approach during the build up to the event enables any changes to your original specification to be incorporated, whilst the budget remains firmly within your control.

Leon Warner, co founder of whatapalava explains...

“Throughout over twenty years of personally performing at high profile corporate events, it has become apparent that the unenviable task of organising the Summer drinks party or Christmas event usually falls in the lap of the assistant to the CEO or MD...and a major task it always proves to be. It can take hours of internet searching and dozens of phone calls to suppliers in a quest to obtain a quality of service that your company wishes to portray to its guests. And handing control over to an
outside party may not always the best approach. Through many years combined experience of high profile corporate events, we have formed "Your Tried, Tested & Trusted Team" of suppliers that work as one unit to create your perfect event. Catering, Flowers, Music and Master of Ceremonies are all available. Our personal and dedicated team have joined forces and pooled their collective knowledge and experience to ensure that any event - your event – exceeds all expectations.”

Just one phone call gives you access to the whatapalava team who will work to your specification and budget. You will have access to each team member who will be available to offer advice to complement and enhance your ideas where appropriate. You will also be able to keep up-to-date with your project online through your unique iBusiness project folder. You will have secure access to every aspect of your event, including team members, financial matters and all communications.

Because of our unique position in providing our “one dedicated team””...continues Leon...”we know that there will never be an issue of one team member tripping over another if your plans unexpectedly change. We will provide a cohesive unit which will deliver results that go beyond your expectations rather than a list of random suppliers. Additionally, by giving you, the organiser, access from day one to each team member, you are ensured peace of mind when it comes to attention to detail that will impress your clients.”

whatapalava have a special promotion throughout October and November - all bookings made during October and November for any event held before the end of 2008 will receive a free case of champagne for their event.
