Delegation at Work | Why I Hired a Virtual Assistant

As a Virtual Assistant I save my clients time and money because time is money. I manage all the tasks that they need completed but don’t have the time to complete themselves.

A typical day involves reading and responding to emails from multiple accounts, answering multiple phones, modifying multiple websites, updating multiple accounts, monitoring and setting up multiple marketing campaigns, you get the picture.

What happens when a Virtual Assistant has too much to do? Does he/ she stop taking on new clients? The selling point for virtual assistants is “someone should do the dirty work.” Well not nearly as bad as that statement but we generally work on tasks that our clients should not be working on.

Here is my example of how hiring a virtual assistant worked for my virtual assistant practice. A few months ago I found myself with more work than I could manage and thought about turning down a few more RFPs. An evaluation of my business got me thinking that if I hired outside help I could have someone work on answering calls for my clients, respond to customer queries, arrange email according to importance all the other little tasks that was taking time out of my day.

I love everything marketing and I like to thing that it shows because my clients have been so good in referring my services. I charge upwards of $50.00 for my marketing services yet I was spending time working on administrative tasks at a rate of $30.00 an hour. How could I make $20.00 more an hour? Hire a virtual assistant to work on my administrative tasks and take on more clients willing to pay $50.00 hourly for my services.

Well I hired a Virtual Assistant and she takes on all the work that my keeps my partners and myself from making more money. The perfect solution, we all do what we love doing most and make more money in the process!
