Unsure if a VA is the solution for your business? Consider these questions:
- Do you hold regular meetings or events? How are they coordinated?
- Do you regularly update your website or blog?
- Do you have standard responses to inquiries? Do you use any templates?
- Do you spend enough time on what you want to be doing?
- What are your least favourite tasks? What would you most like to delegate?
- Are there any tasks which are chronically neglected? What are two things that tend to always be in you “I’ll get to it later” pile?
- Is it necessary to coordinate activities with a number of contributors (outside contractors, suppliers, colleagues)?
- To have regular contact with all your clients through a newsletter or group e-mailings?
- Do you archive or ‘wrap-up’ completed projects?
- Do you have comprehensive operating procedures?
- If you ran off to a tropical island on a whim, would your office be able to operate without you for a few days? Do you have all your key contacts in one place?
If this has generated a list of things that you would rather not spend your time doing, a VA may be the solution you’re looking for.
