3 Surprising Things A Virtual Assistant Can Do In Your Biz

When people hear the term “virtual assistant”, often they think of someone who can remotely help you with the administrative tasks in your business. 

And while that’s absolutely true, you might be surprised at some of the things a great VA can support you within your business. 

It’s becoming the new normal to utilise the skills of a virtual assistant which I LOVE to see. 

After all, I know firsthand how challenging it can be to run a successful business when you’re working all on your own. 

Many of my clients come to me knowing that they need help…but with no idea of what that might look like. 

Once we’ve chatted, we’ve set a concrete plan to streamline their biz and get the right VA support where they need it. 

As well as the admin tasks, there are a whole load of things an elite VA can do to supercharge your business; here are 3 of the most surprising ones.

Building Your Sales Funnel

We all know the power of a strong sales funnel. It’s truly what keeps your business growing. 

But if the idea of dealing with all the technology breaks you out in a cold sweat, you’ll be happy to hear that there are VAs out there who specialise in just that. 

No more sitting into late evenings trying to make your tech automations do what they’re supposed to do, or watching YouTube tutorials to make everything work. 

Instead, bring in someone who is not only great at doing this but also LOVES to do it and watch your funnel do what it’s supposed to do: grow your biz. 

Lead Generation

Do you feel like you’re either working in feast or famine? 

It happens a lot: you do lots of lead generation, get busy and then have to abandon everything else to service your clients. 

To get out of that cycle, you can bring in a lead gen expert to continue those conversations while you support the clients you currently have. 

No more famine, all feast and your biz scales as a result.

Email Marketing

Figuring out your email marketing platform can be a challenge. Automations, campaigns, subscriber lists… 

If you’re not familiar with it, you can be forgiven for dropping “email marketing” to the bottom of the list. 

But there’s still so much value in regularly emailing your clients.
So it really doesn’t make sense to let your list go cold. 

When you bring in a specialist in email marketing, you get to engage with your clients without losing time learning a new platform. 

Closing Thought

The one thing that’s really important to remember about bringing in someone to do the tasks above (or any other!) is that you need to bring in the RIGHT person. 

I spoke about this recently on Jay Allison’s podcast - you can find out more and have a listen here.
