Why You Need a VA A VA is a multitasker who juggles the daily business tasks and the dirty work so you can focus on growing your company. In many cases, the VA is the first employee you need to hire as they’ll increase your efficiency and help you recruit and manage the rest of the team. Working with a VA is also a good way to train yourself to delegate and practice giving clear instructions—a skill every leader must have. By earning your VA’s loyalty, you’ll have a partner to rely on in the face of adversity. You’ll be able to focus on the big problems, knowing the small ones are well handled and your company is continuously moving forward. Can a VA do that? Yes. Let’s take a few examples: 1- Shopify/logistics: If you run a store on Shopify, your VA can manage the inventory and the logistics and ensure orders fulfillment. 2- Product scouting: For many businesses, a VA can screen the market to obtain new products for your portfolio. 3- Travel/Schedule Reminders: If you hate to manage your schedule or need to find the most affordable flight ticket, your VA can handle it. 4- Sales DMing: Given clear instructions, your VA can make cold calls and reach out to potential prospects who might want to schedule a meeting with you. 5- Product onboarding: Especially for a software product, you’ll need your VA to onboard new customers and demonstrate the product features to them. 6- Executive assistant: The VA is also a great executive assistant that can take care of tasks such as data entry, research, managing your email, or taking meeting notes. How to Hire a VA Besides being a culture fit and having good English and communication skills, how can you distinguish the right candidate? Keep an eye out for: - Organizational skills: The main purpose of delegating is to free your mind and time, so don’t hire someone you’ll need to babysit. Find a self-reliable VA that knows how to organize their tasks and get their job done without your help. - Technical skill: You might need your VA to arrange a meeting, manage an event, book tickets, or research potential affiliates. All this requires computer and web skills. If you’re working with a specific CRM software or eCommerce platform (such as Zendesk or Shopify) you need a VA who’s familiar with them. - Industry-awareness: As a product specialist, the VA must understand your industry and know how to get around with vendors and other business partners. Since VAs work on a wide range of tasks, they tend to have diverse skill sets, so be clear about your goals and expectations during the interviews (and in the job post). Don’t shy away from giving your candidates a relative task. It can be as simple as doing an internet search or transcribing an audio file. Let’s Recap Unless you want to spend your days doing menial work that stresses you out, you need a VA. Finding the right VA requires paying close attention to the hiring process.
