Airtable for Virtual Assistants

Are you a Virtual Assistant wanting to step up as a top-notch Operations Consultant?

In our Virtual Assistant matchmaking business, we chatted with 25 assistants and clients and uncovered some invaluable insights.

Some clients want more than a task-doer…

They want a problem-solver, someone who gets their business inside out.

What was even more interesting was how about 40% of Virtual Assistants see themselves as “Entrepreneurs-in-training,” planning to help entrepreneurs while building their own online gig, maybe a content business or a Virtual Assistant agency (amongst others).

At Digital Forte, we’re all about helping Virtual Assistants like you grow into problem-solving pros.

We’ve got this course, “Airtable for Virtual Assistants,” where we teach you about Airtable in real-world projects like making a Social Media Content Calendar.
