Finding Clients in Your Community – Blue Collar Businesses
Blue Collar Businesses Need You
In the grand scheme of things, we’re all people servicing businesses. For blue-collar professionals, their day starts early - checking schedules, loading trucks, and heading out to work. If they’re a one-person operation, they’re too busy to respond to calls or emails until late at night, often missing potential clients.
As a Virtual Assistant, you can be the solution to their pain points.
Finding Clients in Your Community - Here’s how:
1️⃣ Google Search: Search for local businesses (e.g., plumbers or electricians in your area). Skip the first page and find businesses on pages 2 and 3 of Google - they often lack optimized websites or online presence.
2️⃣ Offer Quick Wins:
Answer phones and emails while they’re in the field.
Pre-draft quotes, organize job details or digitize invoicing.
Update their Google listing for better visibility and reviews.
3️⃣ Start Conversations: Ask questions like, “Who handles your calls and emails while you’re working?” and suggest how you can improve their efficiency and professionalism.
4️⃣ Industries to Target: Plumbers, electricians, landscapers, and more. Blue-collar businesses thrive with help on admin tasks they can’t manage during their busy days.
Position yourself as their time-saving solution.
Start small, build trust, and watch your client list grow.
