Different ways to maintain a healthy partnership with your Virtual Assistant

By Brooke Anderson


There are plenty of ways to make sure you have good communication with your VA. Here's a couple: 1. Good Communication Communication is key factor that determines the success between you and your Virtual Assistant. You can have your Virtual Assistant contact as per your requirement. It could be on a daily, weekly or monthly basis as desired. Just ensure that your Virtual Assistant is provided with correct information, the information passed on to them should be precise and understandable. All that you need to do is just ensure that they are aware of your desired means of communication.

2. Be Open and Trust the Partnership First and foremost, in order to have a successful working relationship with your Virtual Assistant you must be open to the concept. Also, be open to any ideas or suggestions your Virtual Assistant may have to offer. Just like any relationship, trust must be earned. When working with a Virtual Assistant it will be especially important to trust that when they say they are working for you they truly are.

3. Have Patience Ensure to give your virtual assistant enough time to understand your business and preferences. Remember to explain to your virtual assistant on how you operate your business and how you prefer your task to be completed. Setting rules and guidelines is important and also make sure that your virtual assistant is following all your instructions.

4. Give up Control It's is important that you give up control of certain areas of your business and allow your virtual assistant to take over. Your virtual assistant can handle all your administrative tasks like answering calls, checking mails, data entry etc, this way you will get plenty of time to concentrate on more important areas of your business. And you can be sure that your work is being handled professionally.

5. Plan Ahead Remember that in most cases, your Virtual Assistant has other people they work for so keep that in mind when you provide them with work. Don't leave things until the last minute. It is important that you make yourself available ahead of time especially if there are deadlines to beat. Virtual assistants are professional workers. They know how to handle pressure as long as they are given enough time to prepare for it.
