Diamond grading reports will become a vital part of the industry's efforts to "brand" itself in the future, HRD managing director Peter Meuss said in a seminar on Thursday.
This is especially important, he said, as more synthetics and treated stones come on the market. "A certificate tells you a diamond is a natural," he said.
He noted that HRD's certificate business has already increased 400%, and overall lab business is projected to keep increasing until 2010.
Meuss said that De Beers' Diamond Trading Company says its Forever Mark provides an "independent authority" that provides "reassurance" to consumers. But he said that grading reports already provide this reassurance.
He noted that in the future, consumers will have a multitude of diamond options to choose from, including brands based on origin and those connected with fashion "names" like Escada.
Grading reports, he said, can serve as an "ingredient" brand, much like "Intel Inside" does for computers.
"The confidence in the processor helped consumer confidence," he said. "That will happen with diamonds."
He noted this trend is already happening. "We see more ads that say 'GIA cert' or 'HRD cert.' This will become exponentially stronger."
He closed by talking about synthetics. He noted his organization has developed the "D Screen," a device that detects synthetics that's cheaper than GIA's DiamondSure. And he said that contentions in the press that synthetic stones cannot be detected are "rubbish."
"For synthetics, it's much easier than treated stones," he said. "Synthetics are 100% easily detectable."
He also noted that there is no big quantity of synthetics on the market. And he said the industry will continue to stress that its quality is natural.
"Why is a synthetic not forever?" he asked. "Because they were made in a machine a few days ago. Diamonds are rare. They are not made in buckets."

The recent cold snap that affected the northeast was uncomfortable for most of us, and a nightmare for some. Many homeowners, in particular, had serious problems that arose, and were fortunate to find help from a local plumbing business. Plumbwell Services, based in Sea Cliff, has been growing since its founding less than two years ago. However, it saw a huge boom in business over a 10-day period, and was more than willing to step up to the challenge.
"This cold snap was unusual. It was very long, very cold and once the north wind hit already five days into it, houses that had never froze began to freeze. We had over 60 calls between Dec. 30 and Jan. 10 for frozen pipes and no heat—all emergencies," said Bob Wissing, one of the three owners of Plumbwell Services. "If you have a weakness in your heating system, when it gets that cold, it becomes exposed and starts to freeze."
He cited a house they took care of when the owners were out of town. The happy customer then posted a positive review on Roslyn Moms and Dads Facebook page, and "it traveled like wildfire."
"We were away in Mexico and found out our heat was out," posted Jonathon Penn to the Roslyn Moms and Dads Group on Jan. 4. "Had a good experience with Plumbwell Services in the past and called them again for this emergency help. This time they came ASAP and provided the utmost care and spent hours ensuring everything was working properly….These guys are the gold standard for all plumbing work, customer service and response."
During the cold spell, Plumbwell worked around the clock. Wissing said he will answer every call, no matter the time of day or night, especially during a crisis time. He has been in the plumbing business for more than 30 years and was a manager for the Long Island Rail Road plumbing department before retiring early to start Plumbwell with his brother, Jim Wissing, and Brian Shedlick, both of Glen Head.
"Bob has a passion for plumbing," said Jim. "The business has been growing because of how he is. He goes in there and gives his heart like it's his own house."
Bob agrees, noting he and his team are respectful of their customers' homes, using drop cloths, wearing footies and helping people get to the root cause of the problem. His knowledge of boilers and systems is so extensive, he can often identify the problem and walk customers through the steps to fix it over the phone.
"I love what I do," said Bob. "It's a curse or a blessing, I'm not sure which. I love problem solving; when you go into a house you have to figure out what's going on and how to fix it. And I like helping people, too. I take that passion and pass it down to everyone who works for us. I really want to please our customers, so we work hard."
Plumbwell Services currently has a staff of 15 and is looking for more good people. Because the trade has experienced an exodus as baby boomers retire and fewer people enter the field, they advertise nationally for employees and even hired someone from Kentucky and moved him and his family out to the area.
"We have a philosophy of trying to grow a good company. While we can't offer the types of benefits a corporation or municipality can offer, we offer the opportunity of growth within the company," said Shedlick.
While it has been good for business, they hope that this cold snap was the worst of it for the season. Some free advice: if the temperature dips below 25 degrees, homeowners should set their thermostats to 72 degrees and "let it run." And issues can arise, no matter the age of the house. Part of Plumbwell Services' philosophy is to guide its customers to finding the cause and directing them to a solution so it does not happen again.
"I think a lot of people by now have figured out what their problems were," said Bob. "It's a crazy business and every problem has a different answer—it's never one thing."
Plumbwell Services is at 54 Roslyn Ave., Sea Cliff. For more information call them at 844-758-6293 or visit www.plumbwellservices.com.

American Life in Poetry
I was deeply moved by this week's poem, which shows us the courage of a person struggling with a disability, one that threatens the way in which she wishes to present herself. It illustrates the fierce dignity that many of us have observed in elderly people. Wesley McNair served five years as poet laureate of Maine, and his most recent book is "The Unfastening," published by David R. Godine.
My Mother's Penmanship Lessons
In her last notes, when her hand began
to tremble, my mother tried to teach it
the penmanship she was known for,
how to make the slanted stems
of the p's and d's, the descending
roundness of the capital m's, the long
loops of the f's crossed at the center,
sending it back again and again
until each message was the same:
a record of her insistence that the hand
return her to the way she was before,
and of all the ways the hand had disobeyed.
American Life in Poetry is made possible by The Poetry Foundation (www.poetryfoundation.org), publisher of Poetry magazine. It also is supported by the department of English at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.

Counter OffersIf you are a valuable resource, then your current employer won't want to see you walk out the door, especially to the competition. They will make every attempt to convince you to stay, either by:
- Making you a counter offer
- Making you feel incredibly guilty and disloyal
- 'Loving' you like they've never 'loved' you before - be suspicious of this
Being made an attractive counter offer is instantly good for your ego, but you must take a number of things into consideration before saying "thanks" or "no thanks":
- You have only received a counter offer because you resigned. It is a purely reactive tactic from employer and should make you wonder whether you need to resign every time you want to improve your situation. If your employer thought you were truly worthy, why didn't they improve your situation anyway?
- Do your reasons for wanting to leave still exist? You may have a number of reasons - salary too low, no promotion in sight, don't like your boss. You may be offered more money to stay, which can be tempting, but if you still have other issues outstanding, you'll probably end up leaving anyway.
- Despite what your employer is saying to you, they will probably now consider you a risk and may make contingency plans without your knowledge. You may not be seen as a true member of the team.
- The counter offer could simply be an interim tactic from your employer to bridge a gap whilst they look to replace you.
Much research and many surveys have been completed over the years to measure what happens to employees who accept counter offers. Not many are still with their company after 12 months, and 2 of the main reasons for this are:
- Salary was hardly ever the prime motivator for resigning - more money didn't ultimately change the true state of play
- Things didn't take long to return to the way they were before the resignation
Before accepting a counter offer, ask yourself why your employer has made the offer. There is a strong possibility that the cons will outweigh the pros and you will realize that your decision to resign was right after all.

MANAMA, Bahrain — After a night of clashes between antigovernment demonstrators and the police, a protester was found dead Saturday near this capital, as Bahrain struggled to restore calm before an international auto race on Sunday. Opposition groups blamed the police for the death.
Bahrain, a Sunni-ruled monarchy in the Persian Gulf, has beaten back persistent protests from the country's Shiite majority for more than a year. The protesters have intensified their actions in recent days, and clashed with the police again on Saturday, hoping to use the international attention focused on the country during the Formula One Grand Prix race to press their grievances.
The protester who died, Salah Abbas Habib Musa, 36, was a local leader of the antigovernment demonstrations and had taken part in one on Friday afternoon, family members and colleagues said. His brother, Hussain Abbas Habib Musa, said that he had joined another protest on Friday night outside Manama.
A security official who said he had seen the body said it had gunshot wounds, but a government spokesman, Abdulaziz Mubarak al-Khalifa, would not comment on the cause of death until an autopsy was completed.
The chief of public security, Maj. Gen. Tariq al-Hassan, said Mr. Musa's body was found in Shakoura, on the outskirts of Manama. He said "the death was determined to have happened under suspicious circumstances." The Interior Ministry said it was investigating. A spokesman for Al Wefaq, the largest opposition group in the kingdom, said Mr. Musa had been among a group of protesters beaten by the police, and that the police had killed him.Continue reading the main story
Antigovernment protesters have been demonstrating for democratic reforms here since the Arab Spring revolts erupted across the Middle East and North Africa last year. The Bahrain government quashed the protests soon after, backed by troops from Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, but they have never entirely ended.
The United States, which bases its Fifth Fleet in Bahrain, has been relatively subdued in its criticism of Bahrain's leaders. Bahrain's government says it has taken steps to address some complaints, including what some officials acknowledge is the brutality of the security forces.
Mariam Isa Ali Jawad, 33, Mr. Musa's wife, said that her husband had been attending the daily protests and was one of the leaders in the Shakoura area.
Ms. Jawad said that although the government had accused his group of encouraging protesters to throw homemade bombs at the police, her husband was opposed to the use of violence. She said that he had been politically active and had spent five years in prison for his opposition activities.
Thousands of protesters, some hurling homemade bombs, clashed again on Saturday with the police, who responded with tear gas.Continue reading the main story

This blog post will provide a recap of the run up to our Habitat for Humanity Global Village Challenge and our time building in Buenos Aires. It will be a useful reference point for the 70 blog posts that have preceded this one.
This Blog and the inkstersgive.com website were officially launched on 23 September 2009 with thanks to corporate sponsor, Innovation Digital.
There is a link from the InkstersGive site to our JustGiving page, and it was not long before the donations started rolling in. This included our first US donation from Richard Prickman of Bitcher & Prickman. However, he was not allowed to outdo his Partner, Beatrice Bitcher. There followed more donations from my Twitter followers including generous corporate sponsors: The Trial Warrior, Silverman Sherliker and Valentilaw. The generosity of Twitter followers was overwhelming as seen in Fundraising and the Power of Twitter and #FollowFriday for Just Giving.
We had asked for help to cover our hard hats with logos and were having good success. In addition to those corporate sponsors already mentioned we had Inksters, Page\Park, Harley Haddow and Theatreplan on board. They were to be joined by Barr Brady, Oce and Jeffrey Aitken.
We were getting plenty of attention in the legal and architectural press, all helping to raise awareness and encourage donations.
In amongst all this we started Spanish classes with a teacher from Argentina at Centro Español Loco. We were to go on to take 5 Spanish lessons in total. Our teacher ended up joining our La Bordona Tango class at Sloans.
I read a Chinese Poem from 700BC. Our T-Shirts were printed and offered for sale. We were all set to head to Argentina.
Nicola and I arrived in Argentina a couple of days ahead of the rest of our Group. This gave us a chance to acclimatise and recover from the jet lag before beginning building work. It also meant we experienced floods in Buenos Aires on our first day there.
When the rest of the Group (13 of us in total) arrived from the UK it was straight into Orientation and learning about the 22 de Enero neighbourhood that we would be working in.
Then building works commenced. By the end of day 4 which consisted of painting, digging holes and moving concrete fence posts I was very tired but equally elated. Our active filled days passed by quickly with a brick wall, yellow paint and a concrete column, not to mention a higher wall, more yellow paint and a bedroom extension.
We were also able to celebrate the work we had done with the community when we attended the inauguration of the room we painted yellow.
On a day where work was rained off we had the opportunity to visit the Recovering Urban Homes Project and learn of the other work Habitat for Humanity was doing within Buenos Aires. On the way Jas met Maradona in La Boca.
On day 8 and on day 9 we were given time off for rest and relaxation. This allowed us to see Buenos Aires and take in some Tango.
Then back to work and Nicola and I worked together one morning on Tito's wall. Nicola spent most of her time in La Matanza building Tito's wall and became a very accomplished bricklayer as a result. I moved around more to work on different projects such as building Miguel's walls, moving earth at Alejandro's property, moving rubble at Antoñin's house, and building Germán's tower. This gave me a good perspective on the different living conditions and family units that exist in 22 de Enero. It had been particularly gratifying to help the poorest of these families who were just starting out to build homes to replace the shacks they were living in.
Our time at La Matanza came to a close and we had to say farewell to 22 de Enero community. The families were truly grateful for the time we had spent with them and the work we had been able to do for them. Beba wrote a thank you note and Alejandro wrote that "if all the world helped like you, all the world would be better". With tears in our eyes the bus took us out over the dirt track from 22 de Enero and back to Buenos Aires.
Then it was time to say farewell to Hábitat para la Humanidad Argentina and have a "make your world a home" photograph taken.
Back in the UK I blogged that it was "over but not out". Indeed with Tessa Shepperson making Habitat for Humanity her Charity of the month at Landlord-Law Blog and Armitage Associates becoming our Christmas Corporate Sponsor the fundraising continues. As 2009 comes to a close I will be considering how best we can retain links with our new friends in 22 de Enero and help them in 2010. In the meantime please help them this Christmas by giving at www.justgiving.com/argentina2009.

Over the course of 5 days I have been working with Tito to improve his home for his family: his wife Graciela, and daughters Beba, Daniela, Daiana and Camila. They are a very close family, and were very happy to share what little they have with us volunteers.
I have been working with a number of different people from team GB, but latterly with Rob and Jas. Our task was to construct internal walls to create a bathroom, using the lightweight 'honeycomb' bricks commonly used in Argentina. We had to mix the mortar by hand in buckets, and I assisted Habitat for Humanity's technical advisor, Hernán, in setting out the walls.
The mortar mix differed for the bottom 2 courses, with more cement included in that mix. The walls are built directly off the concrete floor slabs, which are far from level, and I had to use my 'architect's eye' quite a lot for judging the level and straightness of the walls as we did not have such luxuries as spirit levels. That is why there are quite a few pictures of me 'squinting' at the wall!
Understandably Tito, like many of La Matanza's residents, needs his materials to stretch far and nothing is wasted. Mortar was scrapped off the floor for re-use, and we made our best attempts at hand cutting the bricks to achieve cuts for the stretcher bond of the wall.
The work got hotter and slower the higher the wall went. The heat of the sun on the crinkly tin meant that the underside of the roof became unbearable hot, and the house had minimal ventilation making it very stuffy. After a day of balancing on plastic crates we were able to borrow a pair of step ladders from Concordia which certainly helped. After 5 days of building we finished our task and completed the wall – with Rob having to finish off the highest course due to mine and Jas's lack of stature!Hopefully we have given Tito a good start towards completing his bathroom. He and his family certainly seemed very grateful for our assistance and also the opportunity to meet people from abroad.
Hernán and his assistant were very impressed with the work of 'las chicas', bricklaying being regarded as a male task up to now. But our efforts have persuaded them that they should train females for bricklaying tasks in the future!

A new batch of emails from Hillary Clinton's tenure at the State Department released by Judicial Watch on Monday revealed that a former aide to Bill Clinton asked State to accommodate a request from Clinton Foundation supporter and U2 lead singer Bono.
According to emails obtained by Judicial Watch, former Bill Clinton aide Ben Schwerin — who reportedly helped to set up the Clinton Foundation — emailed Hillary Clinton staffer Huma Abedin and Clinton Foundation executive Douglas Band on May 27, 2009 asking for a favor for Bono, who was about to embark on a world tour with U2.
"Bono wants to do linkup with the international space station on every show during the tour this year," Schwerin wrote Abedin and Band. "I'm trying to figure out who the best contact is to talk to at NASA or the congressional committee on science and technology. Any ideas? Thks."
Both Band and Abedin replied back: "No clue."
Politico reports that Bono and U2 ultimately did end up using video footage from astronauts during its "U2 360" tour later that year, though it was unclear whether Schwerin was able to accommodate the singer's request or if he had found an alternative way to obtain the video.
Bono has hosted fundraiser concerts for the Clinton Foundation in the past.
In 2011, the 56-year-old singer and his U2 bandmate The Edge celebrated both Bill Clinton's 65th birthday and the 10th anniversary of the Clinton Foundation with a star-studded concert at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles. Dubbed "A Decade of Difference," the concert also featured musicians Lady Gaga, Stevie Wonder, Usher and Kenny Chesney.
The trove of emails released by Judicial Watch on Monday also revealed that Hollywood sports executive and current L.A. Olympics bid chief Casey Wasserman forwarded a request to the State Department from Wasserman Foundation vice president Tim Hoy concerning securing a visa for a British soccer star, whose name was redacted by the State Department.
"Can you help with the below, or maybe Huma???" Wasserman emailed Band on May 5, 2009.
"I doubt we can do anything but maybe we can help with an interview. I'll ask," Abedin replied later that day.
Wasserman, a key contributor to Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign, has reportedly donated between $5-10 million to the Clinton Foundation.

Ernesto-Perez Carrillo teamed up with General Cigar Co. to create a special La Gloria Cubana blend. It is based on a blend he created in the 1980's. In case you don't know, General Cigar Co. bought La Gloria Cubana from Ernesto in 1999 and he stayed on board until 2009 and eventually went out on his own. This cigar however, is supposed to keep with the original spirit of the LGC brand.
La Gloria Cubana Colleccion Reserva
Size: 5x54
Vitola: Robusto
Wrapper: Ecudorian Sumatra
Binder: Nicaragua
Filler: Nicaragua
Cigars smoked for review: 2
Cigars for review provided by: General Cigar Co.
Prelight: The wrapper has a strong smell of molasses with notes of hay and powdered cocoa as well. The foot is dominated by the hay and molasses notes with the addition of grains. The cold draw is smooth and clear, with notes of molasses, hay, and grains. No surprise there at this point.
Beginning: The first few puffs are very smokey tasting, mostly wood smoke but with a hint of BBQ. This smokey profile dominates the palate here. The hay, grain, and molasses notes come through here too, just with a smokey overtone. The retro hale provides a nice burn and a deepening of the flavors. The burn is precise, leaving a tight ash and producing thick smoke.
Middle: The second third continues in a similar manor, but the flavor has changed to more of a dark, smoked honey note. The retro hale here adds a creamy cedar note and has a nice burn on the nostrils. At this point I would like to point out that the ash is still hanging on since first light. The end of this third starts to taste like Corn Flakes, with a muted black pepper note on the tongue from the finish.
End: No surprise here, as the profile is still smokey and mild. But the hay and grain notes are not present, instead they have been replaced with an almost fruity flavor. Though be it a very muted, mild fruitiness. The very end sees the return of the grain notes and adds a bready, sourdough flavor. And just the slightest hint of rep pepper.
Final Thoughts: Not a bad cigar at all. It was a steady medium in strength and body throughout. Tons of smoke, no need for touch ups, and a consistently even burn and solid ash. Not much more to ask for. The flavor profile is what fell short for me. It just didn't give me what I look for in a cigar. But, if it sounds like your style, thenI would definitely give this one a try.

Elizabeth May and Mariah Carey: Unless you're an active member of the Green Party who counts Glitter among her favourite films, these women probably don't spring to your mind at the same time. And yet they should. May and Carey, believe it or not, have something in common. They are two of the only high-profile women to face accusations of workplace misconduct in the fallout of the #MeToo movement. Carey stands accused of sexually harassing a former male bodyguard (an accusation given limited attention in the press because when you're an alleged female predator, sexism works in your favour). May, on the other hand, the face of the Green Party, stands accused of a different kind of misconduct: plain old-fashioned bullying. Earlier this month, the Green Party leader championed victims of workplace misconduct in Canadian politics. Today, however, she is an alleged perpetrator of misconduct in her own right. In a recent story in this newspaper, three former Green Party employees accused May of bullying behaviour, including, writes reporter Alex Ballingall, "yelling at employees and putting them down in front of their colleagues." May denies these accusations and has asked her party to launch a formal, independent investigation into the claims.
What does this have to do with #MeToo, you might be wondering, a movement that appears to concern itself exclusively with sexual misdeeds? The answer is that #MeToo isn't at its heart just about sexual abuse of power, but abuse of power, period. Bullying, shouting at and demeaning one's subordinates — this behaviour is central to pretty much every major #MeToo workplace incident in the news, from Harvey Weinstein's plummet from the top to Albert Shultz's. Things you don't often read in statements from alleged harassment victims? "When he wasn't trying to grope me in the elevator, he was a kind and generous employer."
Many of the superiors implicated in #MeToo aren't just alleged creeps. They're alleged tyrants.
It's natural then that a movement that began implicating male bullies who sexually harass their employees would expand to implicate workplace bullies in general. My hope is that one of the myths eradicated as a result of #MeToo is the popular idea that there is merit to bullying subordinates, that shouting at colleagues and treating them like crap serves some greater purpose and is essential to productivity in business, or to a stellar performance in the entertainment world. We know this isn't true. According to Harvard Business Review, citing a study by the Harvard Business School in 2014, "leaders who project warmth — even before establishing their competence — are more effective than those who lead with their toughness and skill." In 2012, organizational psychologist Robert I. Sutton told the New York Times that shouting in the workplace can be harmful because "when people are upset they process information at a more shallow level." In other words, it's hard to focus when somebody is yelling at you.
It sounds simple enough. Work hard and be nice to people. Yet the myth of the brilliant bully rages on — probably because you can't make a sensational, hit reality TV show about a CEO or a head chef who is even-tempered and gets along swimmingly with most people.
I have no idea if May fits the bully description, or if she is a firm but fair boss falsely accused by three bitter ex-employees. But I do resent the notion put forward by the Green Party itself that she is being unfairly targeted because she is a woman. (It's important to note that two out of three of May's accusers are themselves women.)
"A man with these qualities is admired for his leadership," the Green Party said in a statement in response to allegations against May. "A woman is portrayed as overbearing and bullying. These outdated gender stereotypes have no place in 21st-century Canada."
Again, May might be totally innocent of all claims made against her. But the statement above reads to me like a political party's attempt to co-opt feminist ideology in order to make excuses for its leader's allegedly cruel behaviour. Like Mariah Carey, May, a woman accused of workplace misconduct, is in the unique position of being able to use sexism to her advantage to deflect blame. This is done via a defence I like to call the "I'm not a bitch — I'm just a strong, outspoken woman."
Often this defence is 100 per cent honest.
It's not exactly news that women are mischaracterized for sexist reasons as bitchy and bullying when they are in fact just doing their jobs. But at the risk of annoying some of my feminist peers, I think it's important to note that sometimes, this isn't the case. Sometimes, like men prone to shouting at subordinates, women are just bullies. And as an outspoken woman who is not a bully, it really ticks me off when unkind women evoke feminism to justify their rotten treatment of others. I don't know if May is one of these women.
But any true proponent of gender equality should meet the leader's denial of wrongdoing in the same way they meet the denials of wrongdoing pouring in daily from men in positions of power: with a healthy dose of skepticism.

The Geography of Bliss by Eric Weiner
Foreign journalist Eric Weiner, tired of bearing so much bad news for National Public Radio, visits 10 nations around the world to learn what makes their citizens happy. He's an appealing narrator--clear voiced and good natured--and he can tell a good story. The understated chumminess in his voice is a perfect vehicle for his wry observations, well-disguised self-deprecation, and ultra-smooth writing skills. Weiner's stories and observations warm the heart but also deliver a satisfying supply of his abundant wit, big-city perspective, and generous appreciation of the human condition. More literary than scientific and free from any pretense of inspiration, this production offers time well spent with a nuanced thinker and a relaxing account of the large and small experiences that make people everywhere so interesting. - AudioFile

A lot of virtual assistants and clients would be amazed to know that they have entered into an agreement during a verbal discussion.
If during the discussion the virtual assistant has made an offer and the client has agreed then an agreement or contract has been formed.
A virtual assistant agreement or contract can be formed whether it is over the phone, by email or through social media. In other words an agreement or contract is formed when:
A contract or agreement can be made verbally, in writing through the post or electronically.
No particular form is required to constitute a contract (either an offer or acceptance).
In terms of a virtual assistant and client agreement, the virtual assistant is agreeing to do something and in return the client is agreeing to pay as per negotiated rate.
I have seen several so called "Virtual Assistant Template Agreements" circulating and available for download. These templates may meet the requirements of lawyers and other professionals, however, they aren't particularly written in such a way to form a strong relationship with the new client.
In addition, agreements written overseas may not apply here in Australia.
Positive communication with your client from the very beginning is very important.
Clients will bond with you if you meet their needs and if the communication remains supportive and professional. After all, the client has made the decision to welcome the virtual assistant into their business.
It is therefore important that the virtual assistant recognises this and shows that they are trustworthy. A written agreement written in legalese and pointing out all that can go wrong is perhaps not the best start to creating a bond. Especially if you want the relationship to be long term.
A virtual assistant agreement is also an opportunity for the virtual assistant to educate the client on the best way to work together moving forward.
A lot of virtual assistants have restrictions on the hours that they will work, how they like to be contacted and even the best times that they are available for a discussion. A time when a toddler is running around is perhaps not the best time to discuss strategy with your client!
At the end of the day, if the agreement is not upheld for some reason, are you really going to pursue the client through the courts to uphold the written agreement?
The cost of the pursuit would be more than the actual contract was worth initially. In addition, this would cause a lot of stress whether you win or not.
A much better approach is to simplify and create a good experience for both the virtual assistant and client right from the beginning. Your aim is to build trust and respect as quickly as possible.
From my experience, the virtual assistant's main aim in creating an agreement with their client is to:
In regards to the client, their main aim in hiring the virtual assistant is to:
So, if we take the results that both parties want to achieve from the above, we create a warm and friendly agreement that outlines how this will be achieved.
Adding a few options for ensuring that urgent matters can be dealt with to the mutual benefit of each also makes sense.
Sounds simple doesn't it?
It does sound simple and it can be simple.
An agreement can be as simple as a recording of the Skype conversation you had with the client where you go through your offer point by point and you agree on each. (search for mp3 skype recorder for a free tool).
Alternatively, it could be a confirmation email that you send to the client after your discussion and ask them to pay you a deposit to show their acceptance of the discussion.
It could also be a very professional "Client Welcome Pack" that also educates the client on how you like to work, what hours you are available, how they can handle emergencies and a confidentiality statement.
You could also add items that you find difficult to raise as a discussion point – for example, automatic rate increases in line with inflation or cpi.
If you are looking for a great welcome kit that meets all these requirements and more, I have put a special offer together for you below.
Reference: contract law
This welcome kit includes an agreement and terms and conditions that has been reviewed by an Australian Lawyer. This perfect client welcome kit helps you establish a strong relationship with the client from day one.

How can I respond to a bad Google Review?
You work damn hard. Waking at the crack of dawn. Often inhaling a quick sandwich at your desk in between back-to-back appointments. Doing your best for every patient. Taking the time to listen to them as your diary slides later and later. Evening descends and you can finally drag yourself out of the office to see your kids who are probably already on their way to bed. As you close the door behind you, you feel your phone buzz and BAM! A bad Google review from a disgruntled patient.
It's only natural to feel gutted when you get a bad Google review. It's even more maddening when that Google review is fake or unjustified.
What's even worse is that a Harvard study revealed that reviews impact revenues! The data from this study showed that businesses with review scores changing by only 1 star got an 18% increase in revenues.
Reviews are serious business and can affect your bottom line. After doing everything you can to deliver superior customer service, knowing how best to handle a negative Google Review is your only defence. This post will give you a plan and script to deal with bad Google Reviews as soon as they happen so that you can make the best of a negative situation. We'll also tell you how to flag fake Google Reviews. You might, by following our advice, even be able to turn a bad Google review around and have the reviewer change their review for the better.
First, breathe; you can deal with bad Google reviews
Don't panic. Know that many people will not believe a perfect 5-star rating anyway. So, there is a bright side to having a 4.8 or 4.9.
That won't be much of a consolation to you, however, in the face of an unjustified negative review. As far as placement is concerned, review score trumps review volume. So, you want to make sure your customer service is as excellent as possible, even if your volume is low.
So, how do you deal with an unjustified negative review?
We advise you first to evaluate the situation. After that, respond swiftly – we'll show you how. If the review is fake, then we'll show how you can flag it for removal. If the review is not fraudulent, we can show you how to address it using the LATTE method. Lastly, we advise you to stay on top of your reviews to again respond if you need to.
Want to take control of your online reputation?
Book an introductory chat and find out how we can help you get more positive Google reviews and stay on top of what's being said about you online:
1. Is the bad Google review even real?
Here's an example of a review that a client of ours recently received (forgive us, we've left the spelling and grammar errors intact):
You may, like we did, immediately suspect this review to be fake. Your first clue is the name of the reviewer. It could be a troll just looking to vandalise your reputation for a sense of self-importance. It could even be an unscrupulous competitor who feels they must resort to bad-mouthing your reputation instead of competing against you on their merits.
Your first task is to check your records to see if the person leaving the review is, in fact, a patient.
If they are not, you can reply to the review like this within 12 hours. Feel free to copy this and use it, but you may want to rephrase if you have to respond to more than one review so that it doesn't appear canned):
"Thank you for contacting us. We are sorry you are dissatisfied. Upon receiving your review, we immediately checked our records to identify you so we could investigate the issue. We did not, however, find your name in any of our records. Nevertheless, we are committed to upholding superior standards of customer service. Please contact us at [your office number], and we'd be eager to address the issues contained in your review on the telephone."
Why respond at all, especially if you know the review is fake?
In a public forum, you are not just aiming to calm the reviewer (legitimate or not), you are also showing every person who sees this negative review how you handle customer complaints.
2. How to flag a fake Google review as inappropriate
If you think a Google review is fake, respond to it as above and then "flag as inappropriate" immediately. Always respond to the review, however, fake or not. It may take some time for the review service provider to remove a fraudulent review.
You can also call Google and follow up on your flagged review status by clicking support on the Google My Business Homepage.
Of course, if you are a LiveseySolar client, we'll take care of all of this on your behalf. All you have to do is let us know about the review.
If the above does not work, and you can prove the review is slanderous and false, then you could complete a Google form for a legal removal request. We advise you seek the advice of a legal professional to help you take this step, should it be necessary.
3. How to respond to a bad Google review
To address a genuine bad Google review, we suggest you invoke the well-known Starbucks LATTE method, which is:
- Listen to the customer
- Apologise for the problem or situation (A also stands for acknowledge)
- Take action and solve the problem
- Thank the customer
- Explain what you did
Let's look at an example. Below is a review of a clinic that was a client of ours. We will show you how we'd address this review, assuming it was genuine.
We'd reply to this legitimate but bad Google review like this:
Dear Shel,
Thank you for visiting us and sharing this message. We are sorry you had an unpleasant experience. I take great pains to make sure all our patient experiences are amazing. Occassionaly, mistakes occur and for this I am sorry. I am looking into how this happened so that it never happens again. Further, I'd like to offer you the courtesy of hearing more details about the issues you cite. Please contact me directly at [our office number], and I will be eager to address the matters contained in your review on the telephone or in person – whichever is most convenient for you. Warm regards, Rod.
Assuming the patient responds and you have an opportunity to resolve the issue, you can respond to the review again:
I'm glad we were able to resolve your issue to your satisfaction, Shel. Thank you again for raising the issue and bringing it to our attention with your review. You've helped me to learn where we can improve, and improve we will. Now that we've resolved the problem, would you please consider changing your rating? I'd greatly appreciate it. In any case, I wish you all the best in your search towards correcting your vision, and please let us know if there's any way we can help you in the future. Warm regards, Rod.
Stay on top of the poor Google review by checking it regularly
If the bad review was fake, did Google remove it? If the Google review was negative but genuine, was there any further dialogue you needed to respond to? Are you sure you've responded to every message appropriately?
While bad reviews are never desirable, you can go a long way towards drowning them out by getting as many good reviews as you can. Good reviews result from a customer-service oriented culture, excellent training, and employee common sense and decency.
If you'd instead prefer to leave responding to negative reviews to someone else, let us know, and we'd be happy to discuss how we can help.
