Delegation Boosts Effectivity
Is your calendar peppered with day-to-day, repetitive tasks instead of meetings with your investors, developing your products, or strategizing your position in the market?
If yes, then you are losing money.
Too many business owners want to feel in control of every situation in their company. They waste both time and energy performing tasks a virtual executive assistant could perform just as well or even faster. While this may be understandable about start-up companies, this form of micromanaging only distracts you away from tasks essential to your business’s growth.
Smart business owners can identify their most important tasks and which activities they should not spend time on. And delegation is one excellent way for you to maximize your and your team’s time and effort at work.
Find tasks that do not directly contribute to creating cash flow or product development. By looking at your list, you will be able to see the activities a brilliant VEA can take over for you. This includes managing your inboxes, scheduling your meetings, making phone appointments, and even responding to your customers. Not only do Virtual Executive Assistants come in handy for administrative work, they can also create content for your socials and blog, market your business to prospective clients, and even become the product managers to better streamline your processes.
How do you delegate effectively?
Select the Right Person. Assess the skills of your talented VEA and train them correctly for the job. Make sure to be clear and specific on the what, why, when, who and where, of the tasks or you might leave the “how” to them.
Delegate Tasks Early. This allows your VEA to better plan the task and minimize the pressure of performing it.
Be a Mentor. Make an effort to provide support, guidance, and instructions. Welcome input from your VEA and point them to the resources they may need to complete the task or project.
Indeed, delegation can help you and your team become more effective at getting more work done in less time. It allows you to focus your effort on things that will keep you in business and turn into the competition to look out for.
