To reap the full benefits of a Virtual Assistant Service it’s important to utilize the services effectively. A good VA will assist you in the process and teach you the best way to assign your tasks and or projects. Below I have outlined three tips to using a Virtual Assistant Service.
Clear and Open Communication
Being able to communicate with your Virtual Assistant is vital to the relationship. Feel free to share your goals and what you expect to gain from your relationship. You’ll also want to explain your business model and provide your Virtual Assistant with as much information as possible about your business’s strengths and weaknesses. Think of your VA as your business partner, our # 1 priority is for you and your business to succeed.
Assigning Tasks and Projects
When assigning tasks and or projects to your Virtual Assistant provide all necessary information for the task and or project to be completed with little to no assistance from you. Additionally, you’ll want to ensure you provide your Virtual Assistant with enough time to complete your requests. We suggest our clients start their week off with creating a task list for upcoming projects. This allows your Virtual Assistant the time to complete your tasks efficiently, and you get more things off your plate. Now that’s a WIN WIN!
Understand the Virtual Culture
Hiring a Virtual Assistant to replace your Administrative Assistant will require a shift in the way work with an assistant as will as a shift in your mindset. Virtual Assistants work from a remote location so much of your communication with your VA will be by phone, email and or Skype. However, not to worry, technology has made it very convenient to outsource much of your office’s administrative support to Virtual Assistants who are experienced and more than capable of handling your day to day tasks and projects. It may take a little time to get used to the idea of having your assistant in a different office and or state. We can assure you Uniquely Coordinated’s Virtual Assistants will make the transition effortless.
