Do I need a Virtual Assistant?
We are just starting into 2021 and a lot of business owners look at how they can improve their business processes and reach their goals but how do you do that? Is hiring support like a Virtual Assistant for you?
See if you find yourself in the description below.
Small business owner
If you are a solopreneur or have fewer than five employees chances are high that you come to a point where you get overwhelmed with the workload of your business. A Virtual Assistant can be a good asset to your business as they have a different view on your business as an outsider and can help you improve workflows and take on board some of your ever so hated job tasks such as Social Media, Email Marketing, Calendar Management, Bookkeeping, Website updates, etc.
The best thing about a VA is, that you only hire her for the hours you need her for and don’t have any further employee obligations such as insurance, breaks, office space and the list goes on.
Wearing all the hats of your business
Are you doing all the below tasks yourself?
- Appointment setting
- Calendar Management
- Social Media
- Bookkeeping
- Website Updates
- Event Management
- Data entry
- Answering phone calls
- Writing proposals
- Reports
Imagine you could give these tasks to a VA and how much time you would have for winning new clients?
Likes more free time
Now if you would give the above tasks to a Virtual Assistant, you wouldn’t only increase your Sales but also win free time to spend with your family.
Ask yourself how often you have recently declined invitations from friends or turned down family time because you still had to work.
Likes to reduce workload
Is your To-Do List as long as your arm?
By delegating some of those tasks to a VA you could start work a little later or finish a bit earlier and simply reduce some stress.
Wants to enhance customer experience
I love great customer service. Don’t you do too?
I have a little story for this one. A few weeks ago, I changed my accounting software to QuickBooks and was pleasantly surprised when I received a call a few days after joining to check how things were going. I felt so well looked after as the call was really genuine too.
If you would like to deliver a similar service, your Virtual Assistant could do those calls for you.
Increase visibility
Your VA can help you to increase visibility by:
- Making appointments with potential leads
- Reaching more potential clients via Social Media
- Giving you time back for networking
- Sending Email Marketing campaigns
- Checking in on old leads or customers
