Are you one of those people who feel they have to know how to perform every task on your desk? What about delegating some of those tasks to someone who is well trained and can perform that task in a fraction of the time that it would take you to learn how to do it? Your valuable time can then be put towards building your business and developing your client relations or your product.
1. Are you overrun with emails? Provide your VA with access to your inbox. Your VA can delete spam, respond to customers on support issues and make a list of contacts that need to be made that day.
2. Do you spent a couple of hours each day booking and scheduling meetings/appointments? Let your VA handle your diary with an online calendar. Google provides one which is free of charge and that can be set up to display in your Outlook File, Mozilla Thunderbird or from any PC with an internet connection. Let your VA handle your appointment scheduling so that you have more time available for other more specialised tasks.
