A New Kind of VA with Sophie Ryan is our latest episode of the Business Awards Show. Sophie was a silver award winner at this year's Best Businesswomen Awards in the Best New Business category. In this interview, she tells us about setting up her business, Interactive VA, which aims to deliver a more holistic approach to customers. She explains why she created a VA company offering business and physical and mental well-being support. She has a varied client portfolio with a broad range of needs and describes how she fulfils them. Marketing is a vital element of her offering, and she expands on how that is incorporated into her portfolio of services. Sophie also runs other companies, including a property business with her husband. As if that is not enough, she has two children, so it is interesting to hear her views on balancing life's pressures and asking for help.
Sophie is another entrepreneur who has realised the benefits of winning and entering awards. She explains why she has become increasingly involved, and her process for entering.
This episode will be informative for any entrepreneur struggling to balance their business needs with everyday life. It also demonstrates that business awards can have a material impact on a new business, helping raise profile and reinforce credibility rapidly.
