What is a virtual assistant?
A virtual assistant or Virtual Executive Assistant is a self-employed professional who can specialize in many areas that can help manage the back end of your business, drive sales, pick up customer service needs, and so much more! Your VA will be your right hand, tackling tasks on your behalf and running the unseen side of things. From managing your calendar or inbox, general administrative tasks, social media management, and data entry, this professional can take on tasks to free up your time and allow you to focus on the bigger picture.
Hiring a VA can be tricky
You may have difficulty finding the right VA for your business, or you may have trouble finding someone you trust and get along with. Agencies, like Elevate VA Services, cover this process for you and match you to a trusted VA who has experience in the tasks you want to get off your plate. An agency will have a team of VA’s that work together or individually to serve a client onboarding for services. By partnering with an agency, you will save time in the search for your VA and can feel confident that you also have a partnership with a company that’s focus is to provide the best operational and administrative support!
There is typically a short process to starting with your new VA. A kickoff call and an onboarding form will be completed so you can get to know your VA and give them all the login information they may need. It will be important to create an open line of communication where you can pass along new tasks and answer any questions that may pop up. Setting expectations and being available for communication is key to a good relationship where the responsibilities roll off your back and into the hands of your new VA.
Soon you’ll be exceeding goals
With a professional VA at your side, all the hard work you’ve put into your business will really start to pay off! You’ve paved the way for your VA to jump in and work their magic on your business.
