While all Virtual Assistants provide administrative support, each is unique in the specific skills, experience, and specialties they bring to the table. For example, some Virtual Assistants specialize in particular industries like Real Estate or Professional Development Coaches/Speakers, while other Virtual Assistants specialize in specific disciplines like marketing or accounting.
To choose a Virtual Assistant right for you, its critical you clearly define what you need done.
Use this easy 5-step guide to 1st define your needs, and 2nd choose the best Virtual Assistant to assist you with your goals.
- List all the tasks on your to-do list that you can delegate to an assistant.
- Rank the tasks in order of importance.
- List the skills necessary to complete the tasks.
- Check your list to determine if one Virtual Assistant can perform everything on the list, or if you need multiple Virtual Assistants to accomplish your goals.
- Post RFPs to Virtual Assistant groups and associations that will expose you to several Virtual Assistants at once, thereby increasing your odds of finding the best Virtual Assistant for you.
Keep in mind VAs are independent contractors and not employees so you need to take care not to write a job description. Not sure what the difference is? Check out my post describing independent contractors Vs. employees.
