How Can I Work With A Virtual Assistant If We’re Not Working From The Same Office?

One of the biggest struggles that business owners and entrepreneurs face every day is trying to get everything done themselves. 

It’s easy to understand why, if you’ve built a business from the ground up yourself, it can be hard to let go and let others step in and help.

However, letting go and delegating the tasks that consume your time is one of the best ways to grow and scale your business. It’s a very important factor in any business and one that every business owner must do at one stage or another.

When you are ready to delegate, a Virtual Assistant can be the perfect choice for your business.

Virtual Assistants have experience of working with business owners and know exactly how to help you. They can give you back your time and freedom, and the best part is that you only have to pay for the hours worked.

Sounds amazing, right?

But how can you work with a Virtual Assistant if they are not based in the same office as you?

It’s easier than you think.

Even if you had an in-house assistant, I bet that most of the contact with them would be virtual, at least to some extent, via email and phone calls rather than face to face. 

With software, tools and apps that are available today such as Skype, FaceTime, Asana, Trello, Slack, and WhatsApp, working virtually has never been easier! Using these, you can build an effective workflow so that delegating tasks will be seamless.

If you aren’t sure exactly what tasks to delegate to your Virtual Assistant all you need to do is take a look at your daily task list and note down each one that you don’t physically need to work on yourself.

You can also ask your Virtual Assistant what tasks they can help with, as different Virtual Assistants specialise in different areas.
