Top 10 Ways a Client Can Utilize a Virtual Assistant (VA)
By VANA member Erika
Martlew
The Virtual Assistant industry
is on the rise as more and more businesses use this service to outsource
some of their tasks. The internet has enabled professional Administrative
Assistants to leave the corporate world and set up their own businesses,
providing skilled support to busy entrepreneurs and business managers.
If you have come to the conclusion that you can no
longer keep up to the increasing demands of your growing business and
you need someone to assist with your daily duties, you may find the
following list helpful.
In determining whether contracting a Virtual Assistant
is the best option for your particular circumstances, begin by reviewing
these ideas and then formulating your own plan, taking into consideration
what you would like to start delegating. Then, as you establish an ongoing
relationship with a Virtual Assistant, you can change, add or delete
duties and projects, customizing what works best for you. One thing
you can always count on is that your Virtual Assistant will always be
ready and flexible to change and grow with you as they come to learn
your business and your unique needs.
- A VA can organize, write and send newsletters
allowing you valuable time to service your customers.
- A VA can manage and organize your database
ensuring information is always up to date and readily accessible when
contacting customers or sending out sales and marketing information.
- VA’s have great organization skills
when it comes to keeping communication going. As a single contact
source, a VA can act as liaison between management and staff keeping
information flowing.
- Your web site is your portal to the world.
A VA will perform regular updates and upload edits it in a timely
manner freeing up your valuable time for other priorities.
- Let a VA assume your Bookkeeping requirements.
By delegating this important task, you can rest assured that all your
accounting will be properly managed and bills paid on time.
- Research can become very time consuming.
Rather than bogging down busy in-house staff on a project, hire a
specialized VA in the field of research who will provide you with
the content you are looking for.
- A VA can manage your emails and calendar,
schedule appointments or make travel arrangements. It’s like
having your own personal Secretary on hand. Don’t miss another
appointment or double-book a meeting by having your VA taking care
of the details.
- As part of your team and familiar with all
aspects of your business, a VA can easily create effective PowerPoint
or web-based presentations for your company.
- A VA can assist you with preparing reports,
article submissions and press release submissions. Materials will
be professionally packaged for each specific media or business type.
Printed and electronic materials will be edited and proofread to ensure
you are making the right impression.
- Partnering with a VA in another country
half-way around the world will allow you to have your work completed
while you sleep. Everything will be ready and waiting for you as you
arrive in your office the next day.

What is
the funniest thing that happened to you at the forum?
I have to admit I am enjoying 'A week
in the life of a VA' - so many different angles and it breaks
up the day.

The realization that the virtual world
is really not as big as I thought.
