Small Business Online: Thriving in a Virtual World

Virtual Assistants – A GREAT Choice for your Team – Part ONE

When we think of outsourcing our administrative tasks, what first comes to mind are the basic, day-to-day things, like travel arrangements, events, calendar management, transcription and document creation. The truth is though, if we run a productive company, we need to outsource more than the obvious, and we need to do it at every opportunity! Doing this frees you and your team and allows everyone to focus on their BEST contributions to your business, what they’re roles are supposed to be – and it gets everyone focused on the real goal, your bottom line.

But how do you determine WHAT to hand over to a great virtual professional? Ask your team to list two things: The work they don’t enjoy and the more mundane or routine tasks that take up more than five hours of their work week. Don’t be afraid to do this. We all want our careers to be something we find challenging and enjoyable. No one wants to go to “work” every day and feel like they’re on a treadmill – exhausted and uninspired. So work that your team hates isn’t only annoying, it’s distracting. Removing those tasks from their plate will inspire them and demonstrate that you value their work and their role in your company.

To your continued success, Dave Churchville
