Implementation: A Roadmap to Hiring a Virtual Assistant
As you invest in outsourcing, there are three key areas to consider to ensure successful adoption across your organization: relationships, results, and responsibility.
Relationships: Identify your Magic Circle
It’s critical to create and develop relationships as you're growing an organization, with experts in areas such as finance/bookkeeping, operations, digital marketing, HR and design. Here are some key questions to consider as you're approaching hiring a Virtual Assistant: Who is in your Magic Circle already? Identify these stakeholders before you need them, while you are building out your first solutions. Who else might you need to bring in? Identify the relationships you need to build.
What needs to happen, and why is it important from an overall business perspective?
Results: Measure Progress
You’ll want to ensure that you have a strong business case for continuing to invest in outsourcing across your organization. Depending on the project, you may choose to measure the success of your outsourced administrative initiatives based on revenue growth or cost savings. Revenue growth can come from, for example, being able to respond to trends or customer requests faster than ever before. Cost savings can come from reducing time spent on tasks. Whichever is the right metric for your project, ensure that you set goals and track progress.
Responsibility: Provide Guardrails
It’s important to remember that there are numerous Virtual Assistant companies and agencies in the market. Partner with reputable organizations who can explain how they will protect your data and IP. Look for Virtual Assistant agencies that have been in the space for some time, and have verifiable reviews and feedback.
