“Do what you do best and outsource the rest.” – Peter Drucker
First, it is important to have a marketing plan in place before you hire a virtual assistant.
If you are investing in another person or team then you need to know what the ROI of the tasks you are giving to them. ROI is the return on investment.
Start by making a list of the things you are doing that you don’t want to do.
Start tracking your time. Toggl is a great free tool for tracking your time.
Knowing how much time tasks are taking will give you more appreciation when you no longer have to do those tasks.
Appreciation and having a relationship can often lead to a long-term relationship with your virtual assistant.
Look for clients that are referring their VA on social media.
You can also give a virtual assistant a test project before hiring them.
