Preparing for a Virtual Assistant
what to do BEFORE you hire a Virtual Assistant (VA)
-
Identifying Tasks for a Virtual Assistant
-
Analyze each task you do to determine if it could be done by a VA
-
When you find a task a VA could do, tag it in your task management system as #VA or #virtualassistant so you can find the task later
-
Pull up all #VA tagged tasks to create a list of tasks you can assign to your VA
-
Process Documentation and Training
-
As you do each task now that is tagged for VAs, create a checklist on how to do the task to make it easier to train your VA
-
Alternatively, you can use other forms of process documentation besides checklists. I find video process documentation to be particularly useful
-
Task Management/Followup System in Place
-
Have a task management system in place that lets you assign tasks to your VA, follow up and see your project status at a glance. You can use tools like ZenKit ToDo, Nifty PM, Teamwork, Trello or another system
-
