Administrative Tasks a Virtual Assistant Can Help You With

In every business, there are a lot of administrative tasks that need to be handled on a day-to-day basis. As a business owner, you can easily manage these tasks on your own. The only problem is that they consume plenty of time, taking your focus away from the most important stuff. Thankfully, virtual assistants can take care of a wide range of administrative tasks that an executive assistant or secretary in a company does.

Hiring an additional employee can be very costly – you have to take care of the health benefits, vacation days, sick days, payroll taxes, computer equipment, etc, but with a Virtual Assistant you don't have to worry about any of those things.

If you find yourself in a situation where you’re unable to focus on what really matters (and what only you can do) due to lack of time, you should start hiring virtual assistants now.

These are some of the many things a virtual assistant can do for you.

Data Entry

To keep your company’s database current, you’ll need to insert customer/account data from source documents, compiling information, verifying information for accuracy, checking data for errors etc. This is an important, but tedious task. Virtual assistants who have prior experience in this area work with speed and accuracy. They have a great eye for detail and are good at analyzing information.

Email Management

How much time do you spend on emails every day? Most people get stuck in their email inboxes for 5-6 hours daily. This is one of those administrative tasks that can be easily managed from a remote location. Therefore, you can hire virtual assistants to handle your emails, keep track of the most important emails and send out responses on your behalf. Giving up control of your emails to someone else may seem like a tough decision to make. But once you’ve taken that step and start enjoying email freedom, you’ll simply never want to look back. Also, there are many tools to help you in the process. For example, you can use a password protector service if you don’t want to share your original password with the virtual assistant you hire.

Schedule Management

The task of calendar management or scheduling can become a stress. Dealing with meeting invitations, tracking meetings, scheduling (and rescheduling) appointments will easily eat into your time. Just like virtual assistants can handle other administrative tasks, they can also manage your calendar.

Social Media Marketing

Is keeping your social media accounts updated keeping you from doing more important tasks in your business. Virtual assistants can keep your Facebook, Twitter, blogs and any other accounts updated daily.

Virtual Assistants can successfully perform a variety of administrative tasks, among the many other things they can do for you are research, marketing, report generation, mailings and document preparation.

It's up to you to decide what you want to delegate. Hopefully, the above-mentioned list of administrative tasks will give you a good start.
