How to Delegate!

Many people struggle to delegate tasks because they fear losing control or worry that the quality of work will not meet their standards.? This is where trust becomes essential.?

Trust is a two-way street; it is essential that entrepreneurs trust their virtual assistants, and vice versa. Building trust takes time, but it is worth the effort.?

5 ways to delegate work successfully with a Kushanda Virtual Assistant.

1. Understand the scope of the work you want outsourced

Before delegating any task to your virtual assistant, it’s important to understand the scope of the work.?

You need to have a clear understanding of what needs to be done and by when, what resources are required, and what the expected outcome is.?

2. Choose the Right Virtual Assistant

Some VA providers allocate a random person to your business account. At Kushanda, we do things differently. We focus on a deep understanding of you and your business; and of our talent and their skills.?

We will listen to understand your company’s needs first, then offer you a choice of VAs whom we think will best meet your needs. You get to choose the right VA for your business.

3. Establish Clear Communication Channels

This can be done through email, instant messaging, or video conferencing. You may also want to schedule regular check-ins to ensure that your virtual assistant is on track and that you’re both on the same page.

At Kushanda, we also ensure that you are happy with the service by linking you in with your VA’s manager and offering check-ins with them.

4. Provide Clear Instructions

You will get the best results if you provide detailed written instructions that outline what needs to be done, how it should be done, and when it needs to be completed. Be sure to provide any necessary resources, such as files or documents, access (logins) and set clear deadlines for completion.

5. Trust Your Virtual Assistant

Trust is the foundation of any successful relationship, and this holds true for the relationship between a business owner and a virtual assistant.?

Both the business owner and virtual assistant should feel comfortable providing constructive feedback, as this will lead to continuous improvement and growth. Positive feedback should also be given when appropriate, as this can boost morale and motivate the virtual assistant to continue doing great work.

Conversely, micromanaging can be counterproductive and may even cause your virtual assistant to become demotivated.?
