WEBINAR RECORDING

“You only have one chance to make a first impression — make it count”
— Simon Sinek

Are your VA proposal submissions getting ghosted?

You might be making some common (and totally avoidable) mistakes, and you are not alone.

In this practical and eye-opening webinar, virtual business coach Sinead Brace will be walking us through the biggest red flags and missed opportunities she sees time and time again when VAs submit proposals to potential clients.

Whether you are new to the game or a seasoned pro, this session will help you sharpen your approach and stand out for all the right reasons.

As both a thriving VA business owner and a mentor to others in the industry, Sinead has extensive experience winning new clients, helping her VA coaching clients to refine their proposals, and reviewing applications for her own subcontractor roles.

She knows what catches an eye, and what gets skipped. 

Walk away from this session with clear strategies to improve your lead conversion rate, and the tools and insights to lift your application game.

Whether you’ve applied for 5 opportunities or 50, Sinead’s tips will help you avoid the common traps and land the clients you really want.

Here’s what this session covered:

  • The 5 most common mistakes VAs make when applying for work
  • What not to include in your proposal applications, and what to send instead
  • The must-have structure of a winning service guide
  • How to build connections with clients before you even hit send
  • The mindset shift that moves you from “just another VA” to “dream hire”
  • Clear strategies to land clients who actually value what you offer
  • Plus, show up live for the Q&A!
