We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Amanda Rodriguez a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.

Amanda, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today How did you come up with the idea for your business?

I started The AVA Network at the beginning of the pandemic. I was out of a job, no income and was brainstorming different things I can do from home. I’ve heard of virtual assistants before and thought it was just all luck – which, I still think so! I figured with all these big companies and entrepreneurs now working from home, some need a VA. I decided to give it a try, I created an Instagram and 3 days later created a promotional post. I got quite a few inquiries and my first 2 clients. My approach is different in the sense I definitely don’t push my services on anyone and I won’t send you a million messages. Having a virtual assistant is a luxury service. In return you’ll receive the highest quality service.

Amanda, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?

The AVA Network is a virtual assistant and social media media management company. I provide all administrative tasks, completely unrestricted. Anything your in-house admin can do, I can do virtually and at a better cost! That’s one of the luxuries of a VA. I provide social media management for small business owners, realtors, entrepreneurs as well as personal bloggers. I create content, content calendars and pre-planned grid posts to match your brands aesthetic, engage with customers and followers, and grow your social media presence. I listen to all my clients needs, what they struggle with and create a plan that suits them best.

Where do you think you get most of your clients from?

Referrals. It’s always nice when people find you on social media or ads, but referrals to me, show me that I’m running my business properly and my clients are satisfied with my service.

We’d love to hear about how you keep in touch with clients.

I make it a point to create a relationship with them. I check up on them frequently, remember special life events. Make the business pleasurable in the most professional way!
