Show Notes
Your first discovery call as a virtual assistant can feel like a lot — sweaty palms, racing thoughts, and wondering if you’re going to completely blank when it’s your turn to talk. Trust me, I’ve been there.
But here’s the truth: you don’t need a perfect pitch or years of experience. You just need a little structure, a little prep, and a whole lot of belief in yourself. This episode will walk you through exactly what to say, how to say it, and why these calls don’t have to feel like job interviews.
