Here are some of the common fears that prevent business owners from embracing the beauty of outsourcing.
1. Communication barrier. The number one reason business owners stall on outsourcing is the issue of communication. Most English – speaking countries are afraid they won’t be able to communicate effectively with a Virtual Assistant from a non- English speaking country. However, that should not be the case when you hire a Posh Assistant. All of our VA’s are fluent in English and are all based in the United States.
2. Quality control. Some business owners are worried that their work quality will be sub-par in relation to their expectations. To avoid this disappointment, clearly communicate your expectations with your outsourcing specialist during the planning stage. Set ground rules and standard operating procedures and agree on the quality of work to be delivered.
3. Different time zones. If you want your assistant to work during your time zone and around your office hours, you can negotiate with your VA regarding your preferred schedule, most are very accommodating and flexible.
4. Ghosting you and the project. You may have heard horror stories about VA’s just disappearing one day and the client is left hanging with all the deadlines and deliverables. To avoid this, work with a reputable Virtual Assistant company, such as Posh Virtual Assistants that employs credible and reliable VA’s instead of random janky freelancers.
5. Not sure what type of VA to hire. There are several different kinds of Virtual Assistants and some business owners are not aware of the many tasks VA’s can perform. Here is a helpful hint, just focus on the tasks YOUR business needs and, then contact Posh Virtual Assistants who will find a VA that best fits your business needs.
Outsourcing comes with risk just like anything else in life, but if you plan and partner with a reliable outsourcing company like Posh, you can avoid making mistakes and you will realize your fears were just an illusion.
Why should I hire an email manager?
According to a recent study, the average business owner spends more than 3 hours a day tackling their inbox. That’s more than 21 hours a week spent on email communication instead of actual income-producing activities. Emails are at the forefront of your business and are usually the first point of contact for a new customer. You want to make sure this experience is seamless. The last thing a customer wants is to wait days or even weeks to receive an email response. Or even worse- no response at all. You may ask yourself, how can a VA help me with my emails? Here is a list of common tasks Virtual Assistants can perform to clean up and automate your incoming emails:
- Cleaning and sorting inbox
- Deleting old emails
- Managing contact list
- Responding to emails promptly
- Creating draft emails for approval
- Setting up auto-responders
- Scheduling appointments
- Syncing your calendars
- Calendar management
- Flag important emails
- Integrate click funnels
- Create email campaign
- Process orders
- Pay invoices
- Save you time
If you are a business owner who needs help with email management or wants to know if email management is right for you.
