Virtual Administrative Assistants

What can a virtual administrative assistant do?

An office is not complete without a secretary/administrative assistant, who helps make sure everything runs smoothly while making sure important tasks get done. Virtual administrative assistants fill the same role, just over the phone or internet. They make sure calls are made, emails are answered and tasks are completed while making sure your business is always running smoothly.

You will be able to delegate tasks that you want completed to your virtual assistant. They will take care of them and make sure they get done correctly in a timely manner.

Quick list of what can be done by your virtual administrative assistant (Admin VA):

1. Take incoming calls from customers who need information or have questions about your products and services. Your Admin VA will make sure to answer the phone professionally, and provide you with any information that is needed.
2. Set up appointments for you. These can be in person or over the phone.
3. Create and maintain contact lists.
4. Schedule and confirm meetings, events, trainings, etc. -Manage your email inbox and respond to emails on your behalf from customers or employees.

Speed to Lead

Responding to all emails quickly is very important for your business because it shows that you care about responsiveness and quick communication with your customers. Your virtual assistant can do this, so you don’t have to! They can also schedule time during the day specifically for you to check email if you prefer that method of communication instead of phone calls or meetings.

Creating a Solid Image

It is important to have a good image. Exude professionalism when speaking on the phone and avoid sounding flustered. Nothing will make your business look worse than having someone answer the phone that sounds like they just woke up from sleeping! Your virtual assistant can be sure your business has a professional voice over the phone at all times.

Time Management

Time management skills are very important for any employee, but even more for you as a business owner or executive. Staying organized is key for staying efficient and maintaining an image of professionalism and success for your brand. A virtual assistant can stay on top of their work load in order to meet deadlines and ensure tasks are done correctly and on time.
