Whether you are excelling in your personal career or building a business, if you are doing well, your time is becoming very valuable and precious.
There are only 24 hours in a day, so we need to think twice about whether we want to use our hours closing new sales deals, spending quality time with our family, or researching new suppliers for business cards.
"It would cost me £100 per hour to hire someone to replace me, but by delegating 9 tasks per week to a VA for £22 per hour, I can free up 14.5 hours for myself and take on one more project. It is a good investment! It is simply not wise for me to personally handle admin work anymore." - Sarah Rosatti
What Can I delegate to a Virtual Assistant?
Start with admin!
Administrative tasks
Inbox Management - Involves answering emails, unsubscribing from spam messages, and saving templates for replying to frequent inquiries. Many clients come to us with over 10,000 unread messages in their inbox. You can imagine their joy when, after a few weeks of working with us, they see "no unread messages" for the first time in a couple of years
Organising Documents or photos - If you are prone to 'saving' documents or photos in disorganized piles, having a VA who can sort them out in a way that you can actually find them later would be very valuable
Research - Researching new market trends or the next vacation destination is very time-consuming. Virtual assistants excel in presenting extensive research data or simply choosing the best option for you based on their findings
Shortlisting Suppliers - Getting quotes, comparing them, and shortlisting the best option for an accountant agency, printing service, or just a hairstylist nearby with availability today
