I just got off the phone with a delightful woman – my newest client. I can hardly wait to get started working with her. We spoke for about an hour and I feel like we’re old friends!

Do you know how she found me? Why she called me out of all the other virtual assistants in the world? My website. She said it was nice to look at, well organized, and she was able to find information easily. Above and beyond that, she was so confident in my skills without ever having spoken with me before that she sent me money (in good faith) so I could start working for her right away. There wasn’t even really a consultation process. She’d decided already that I was the right VA for her. I’m absolutely thrilled because my site has just been redesigned, and I’m so glad that I made that investment.

I have another client, a Realtor, and he’s gotten business because his website stands out as well. Like it or not, people make very quick judgments when they’re surfing the ‘net. If you don’t capture their attention within a few seconds, they’re closing that window and moving on.

You might think your skills and credentials will speak for themselves. A potential client will choose to work with you for your reputation or some other reason. So I ask you this. Have you been told by a client that they wanted to work with you because of your website? If not, maybe you should take a good hard look at your site and consider making some improvements. Whether it’s your content, the navigation or the overall design.

In this day and age, almost everyone is searching for goods and services online. If you have a great website, you’re that much further ahead of your competition. Be unique. Be innovative. Be cool. Be fun. Be noticed.
