Is hiring a Virtual Assistant the key to Exploding Sales in your Business? Many small businesses use virtual assistants with fantastic results, and the odds favor this solution as a smart choice for your business, too!

This podcast episode is the thirteenth episode in the mini-series entitled "Generating Leads—the Highest Quality for Your Business. In it, you will learn how leveraging a virtual assistant can be a game-changer for your business growth, from handling routine administrative tasks to boosting your social media presence. So, let's get started! 

Virtual Assistant Story

My first VA was outstanding. He ran all my lead generation from A to Z.  I spent months training him and investing in what he needed to succeed, and boy, did it pay off!  

I had great leads coming in, and my business was at an all-time high.  I discontinued my other lead generation projects because I had found the winner for the long term! 

Unfortunately, the gravy train ended suddenly and unexpectedly, which taught me a hard lesson about working with Virtual Assistants.  

This is quite the story:

First, his laptop was stolen, and he had no way to let me know because he lived in another country and could not call me.

Next, he was in the hospital for three months.

When he finally reached out to tell me all this, I was silly enough to rehire him, but he disappeared again!

When hiring a VA, I recommend hiring a company that manages a fleet of VAs with managers. Then, all you need to do is train the manager, and they will train your VA. This way, when the VA disappears, not if, the manager can step in seamlessly to handle your work while training a new VA to take over.

If you’d like to know the company I’ve been using seamlessly for many years now, just ask by using the Contact Me form on my website—my VA will put the link in the show notes.

Understanding Virtual Assistants

First, let's define a virtual assistant, or VA for short, and what they do. A virtual assistant is a professional who provides various services remotely, typically on a freelance or contractual basis. These services can range from administrative tasks like email management and scheduling to more specialized functions such as social media management, customer support, and project management.

Very often, a small business VA works in a part of the world where wages are naturally lower. This saves money, and the difference can be invested in marketing.

Virtual assistants' flexibility makes them valuable assets, especially for small businesses and entrepreneurs who need to optimize their time and resources. By delegating routine and time-consuming tasks, you can focus more on strategic activities directly contributing to your business growth.

Benefits of Hiring a Virtual Assistant

So, what are some key benefits of hiring a virtual assistant? We have already touched on the potential of this option for lower wages, but even if there is no wage advantage, you don't need to worry about overhead costs like office space, benefits, or equipment because VAs work remotely. 

The flexibility of hiring them on an as-needed basis is also a superior option to hiring an in-house employee, whether part-time, full-time or for specific projects.

Another major benefit is increased productivity. With a VA handling the tasks that bog you down, you can concentrate on high-value activities. This not only improves your efficiency but also allows you to scale your business operations without the stress of managing every little detail yourself.

Best Tasks to Assign to a Virtual Assistant

Hiring a virtual assistant can significantly enhance productivity by offloading routine and time-consuming tasks.
