Effective communication is crucial for business success. It is important to treat Virtual Assistants as valuable team members rather than mere task performers. Building a strong relationship with your VA can significantly enhance their output, thereby adding more value to your business.

To ensure smooth communication, we assess your existing platforms and make necessary adjustments. We consider the systems for various types of communication, such as text, document sharing, video conferencing, and calls, along with the business rules and frequency. Each communication strategy is tailored to the needs of the business and the preferences of the individuals involved.

In addition to textual communication, forming a relationship and getting to know each other is vital. Face-to-face conversations, especially through video conferences, are highly recommended, particularly during the initial week. As your VA becomes more familiar with their role, the frequency of these meetings can be reduced, but regular communication should still be maintained.

An effective tool is the end-of-day report, summarizing the day’s activities, plans for the next day, and any questions for you. We provide training to the virtual assistants on how to complete a comprehensive end-of-day report that keeps the business owner informed.

The English proficiency of Virtual Assistants can vary. Many VAs possess excellent English language skills, with some even exceeding the grammar, writing, and spelling abilities of native speakers. Others may have less advanced English skills but excel in behind-the-scenes roles such as CRM management and video editing.

We suggest determining the most critical areas in your business that require support and hiring VAs accordingly. All candidates, regardless of their role, have sufficient English proficiency to ensure successful communication with the business owner.

All of our Virtual Assistants are based in the Philippines. We meticulously search the country to find the best candidates for our clients, often through referrals from current team members who recommend individuals with the right skills, attitude, and mindset. This approach allows us to select from the top talent and secure the best Virtual Assistants for our clients.

The cost of Virtual Assistants can range from a few dollars to twenty dollars per hour, depending on several factors. The role the VA will be performing is a primary consideration, with specialized tasks such as high-end video editing typically costing more than general administrative work.

Engaging a company like ours may involve higher initial costs but offers long-term savings by providing the most suitable person for the job and supporting both parties with effective communication and systems.

We recommend using password management software like LastPass or OnePass to share access without revealing actual passwords. Building trust and progressively granting access to necessary systems helps ensure security while enabling the VA to perform their role effectively.

This approach helps us attract and retain top talent, as it offers flexibility and eliminates long commutes, allowing VAs to spend more time with their families.

We recommend using password management software like LastPass, OnePass, or Dashlane to share access securely. This allows you to grant and retract access easily, ensuring that your VA can perform their tasks without compromising security. Gradually providing access over time helps prevent the VA from becoming overwhelmed.

The necessity of a company email address depends on the VA’s role. If the VA is in a client-facing role, such as an executive assistant or customer service representative, a company email address linked to your domain is recommended for professionalism. For team members who do not liaise with clients, a domain-linked email may not be necessary. We work with business owners to determine the best approach for their specific needs.
