It is time to start working on your business instead of working in your business. We as business owners know that we get so busy wearing too many hats and get overwhelmed. This can start a downward spiral.

I get told "I can't afford an Administrative/Office Assistant." well you can't afford not to outsource some task's and hire a Virtual Assistant (VA). They can take care of all your administrative needs virtually anywhere. No overhead, no paying for sick or vacation time. What you pay a VA will help your business grow.

"How can this help my business?".

Here are a few tasks’ that a Virtual Assistant can do to help you grow your business,

1. Email Management

2. Booking appointments with clients

3. Following up with clients/customers (sending thank you and other reminder emails)

4. Receptionist duties (answering occasional calls)

5. Calendar Management

6. File Management (organizing files using Dropbox etc.)

7. Database building (updating email or contact lists on your CRM)

8. Internet Research on certain topics for blogposts, newsletters or others

One of the great tools to have is Google Drive, you can share your documents and images and they can access them. Using Google Sheets and Google Docs is another great tool.

When you need to have your VA answer your phone calls all you do is forward the calls to their number. They can access your calendar, make appointments for you, send out quotes, invoices and so much more. These are just a few tasks’ that a Virtual Assistant can do to help you grow your business.

So what is stopping you? In your network find out who knows a VA or uses one. Do some research and start to grow your business today! Once you start outsourcing your task's to a VA you will wonder why you never did this before.
