Where virtual assistants lose the money
A VA role expands to fill whatever the client needs, and scope creep is the whole risk of the job. Without a proposal that caps hours and lists tasks — and a prepaid or recurring payment — you end up on call for more work than the retainer ever covered, invoicing in arrears and hoping.
What your proposal needs — specifically
- ✓ Cap the engagement in hours or a task list so “a few extra things” becomes a top-up, not free labour.
- ✓ Sell prepaid blocks or a monthly retainer and collect payment up front — Tendrly’s link makes prepay a click.
- ✓ List what is and is not included plainly; the VA relationship lives or dies on that boundary.
- ✓ Use recurring payment plans for ongoing support instead of chasing a monthly invoice.
