Whether you’ve used a VA before or not, the principles of fully utilising a business support function remain the same.
The team at GlowingCo like to focus on the relationships we create with our clients and how those connections work when we’re supporting your business.
Here are some simple tips to help you get the most out of your Virtual Assistant!
- Communicate
Tell us how you’d like to communicate when working together.
Let us know what you need when it comes to us slotting in and supporting you: we want to be on the same page as you, and in order to do that, instructions, expectations, boundaries and updates must be clear and communicated in a way that both sides fully understand.
We’d like to think we are approachable and we pride ourselves on being flexible, so lets keep the open lines of communication flowing!
- Trust your VA
We totally understand that you know your business inside out. It is your baby and you are the boss!
Without a doubt, there will be certain things that you haven‘t mastered.
Tasks you don’t enjoy and spend lots of time on, which take you away from more productive and lucrative things, so you need to let go.
Let go and trust us!
Trust that we are here to do our job, whilst you do yours.
We are skilled at what we do, adapting quickly to your way of working and will provide excellent support to your business.
- Be flexible
Have flexibility with your expectations and delegations – the world chops and changes all the time and your workload is likely to do the same.
We are used to varied workloads, multi-tasking, new technology and ever changing structures – and we will adapt accordingly.
- Create a partnership
One must remember that a working relationship is no relationship at all if you don’t work in partnership.
We are here to help you and your business, to be part of your journey and work alongside you. Utilise this partnership, lean on us when you need us and respect the assistance we provide!
- Review regularly
Our packages are reviewed on a monthly basis and adjusted based on your business needs at the time, so that you get the best out of your VA, in the most cost effective way for you.
Together we will review what’s been achieved so far, give feedback on things that might need tweaking and then plan ahead for what you’ll need next!
If you have a big project looming, we will increase the hours and allocate more workload to your VA. If you’re winding down into a less busy period for your industry, we can reduce the hours you allocate to your VA, until such time you need them more again.
If you’re thinking of using a VA, take these tips into account. If you’d like an impartial chat, feel free to drop us an email or give us a call.
