What is a Virtual Assistant?
A Virtual Assistant, or VA, for short is an assistant who works from home. A virtual assistant is very similar to an assistant who works in your office, but the only difference is that VAs are located off premises.

A virtual assistant can free up your valuable time and take away those feelings of being overwhelmed by the day to day, mundane, time consuming tasks. VAs free up your valuable time so you can focus on priority tasks, and they reduce your overhead costs.

How do I communicate with my Virtual Assistant?
Communication can be done through a variety of ways, however, the most popular way to communicate is through email, phone calls or texting. Skype is another way to communicate if you would like a face-to-face connection.
Setting a regular 'check-in' schedule with your virtual assistant is important for building your relationship and ensuring there are no misunderstandings: this could either be a weekly or monthly phone call.
Remember: building a relationship can take time. Make sure you are clear with your expectations and take the time to respond to their questions. This will ensure the elimination of future disappointment and frustrations.
