Still on the fence about hiring help, even if you may (desperately) need it?
Only you can truly decide when it’s a good time, but in case you need a bit of convincing, here are ten stellar reasons for hiring a virtual assistant to help you with your business:
Time Management:
It’s no secret that business admin can eat up LOADS of a coach’s time when they should be focusing on their clients and growing their business. From gathering invoices for tax time to researching podcasts to pitch to, a VA can do all this in the background of your business.
Increased Productivity:
Just like getting your kids to help out around the house, delegating tasks to a virtual assistant allows YOU to accomplish more in less time.
Scalability:
As your business grows, a good virtual assistant will adapt and take on additional responsibilities without the need for hiring more staff. Ensure the VA has availability to do so by checking in first (maybe set up a regular strategy call for updates).
Expertise in Admin Tasks:
Once an admin, almost always an admin. We virtual assistants specialize in administrative duties, ensuring tasks are completed efficiently and professionally.
Flexibility:
Virtual assistants are flexible and provide support when needed without the commitment of hiring a full-time employee. Communication is key, though – as most VAs are working with 6-7 clients at any given time, so it’s a good idea to discuss it beforehand.
Cost-Effectiveness:
Hiring a virtual assistant eliminates the need for office space, equipment, and benefits associated with traditional employees, saving you money. We supply all our own equipment (and coffee!!!)
Focus on Core Competencies:
By outsourcing non-core tasks to a virtual assistant, lifestyle coaches can focus on what they do best – coaching clients, while still getting everything else on the to-do list done.
Access to Specialized Skills:
Virtual assistants often possess specialized skills such as social media management, graphic design, and email marketing, enhancing the coach’s online presence, OR they often know someone who can deliver a skill they might not possess.
Support During Peak Times:
During busy periods or launches, a virtual assistant can provide additional support to ensure smooth operations. I like to get a feel for what my client’s year ahead looks like so I can plan accordingly.
Streamlined Operations:
Virtual assistants can create systems and processes to streamline workflows, increasing efficiency within the coach’s business. Let’s face it, there’s practically a tool out there for everything… if there isn’t, it’s probably being created! But we’ll find out for you for sure 😉
