A Few Of The Biggest Fears Of Outsourcing Work To A Virtual Assistant

If you’re considering hiring a Virtual Assistant there can be several fears that may be holding you back. Trusting someone who you haven’t met before with parts of your business can be quite worrying but completely natural.

However, at the same time using a Virtual Assistant can be one of the best things you could do. Just imagine all the time you could free up by not having to worry about your social media, content creation or other admin tasks. Imagine how much time you’ll have to spend on what matters the most and really help grow your business further.

It would be such a shame to miss out on the opportunity just because of those concerns, which could be completely unnecessary.

So, here are some of the biggest fears you may have when it comes to hiring a Virtual Assistant and reasons to hopefully help you overcome those fears.

1. A Virtual Assistant Won’t Be Able To Do Tasks As Well As I Can

You may feel there’s no point hiring a Virtual Assistant as they’re never going to be able to do a job as well as you can yourself.

Virtual Assistants are fully trained and experienced in several areas and will carry out required tasks professionally and at a high standard.

Your initial consultation will be a great opportunity for you to discuss things in detail with your Virtual Assistant. It’ll be the perfect time to ensure you and your VA are on the same page and let them know if you have any preferences. For example, times of meetings, content style etc. That way the work will be carried out just as you like it.

2. I Won’t Know What My Virtual Assistant Is Working On and Time Taken.

When you first hire a Virtual Assistant, it may be hard for you to trust them to complete tasks and within the time needed. Of course, this is understandable.

Deadlines are as important to us as they are you. I take the priorities you give me and work on the projects from highest priority on down.

You are the one that gives me the cues as to what to work on first.

3. It Will Be Quicker To Do The Work Myself

When you are running a business, you may feel you just haven’t got the time to hire a Virtual Assistant. You may feel that explaining to a VA what needs doing will just take too much time and it’ll be easier to do it yourself.

However, as mentioned before, Virtual Assistants are highly trained, and experienced and most likely have carried out similar work many times for previous clients. There’s hardly anything they haven’t done before and won’t need as much guidance as what you think they will.

Plus, shouldn’t you really be focusing on the things that grow your business, not handling the day to day administrative things that take you away from working on the bigger picture!

4. It Won’t Be Worth The Investment

When you begin to consider using a Virtual Assistant you may feel that it won’t be worth the investment. You may toy with the idea but then feel maybe you can save money doing it yourself, as it’ll be an extra expense.

A Virtual Assistant can help you free up such a large amount of time, leaving you to concentrate on what matters the most in your business. By outsourcing tasks to a VA, you are left with the time to concentrate on sales and profits meaning in the long run, you’ll be earning more than what you’ll be paying a Virtual Assistant.

Also, not only will your VA carry out the tasks that you need help with, but they can also set up processes and systems which will save you tons of time in the future too.

For example, a filling system on your computer, mailbox organization, schedule social media posts, CRM and data entry etc.

Hopefully you can see that hiring a Virtual Assistant isn’t as risky as what you thought. Outsourcing to a VA can really help your business to grow, not to mention take some of the stress off your shoulders.
