Synopsis

You're ready for a Virtual Assistant, but where do you start?

The Virtual Assistant (or VA) Market is growing rapidly as businesses look for a more flexible solution to support.

Anyone with a computer and WiFi can call themselves a Virtual Assistant, so how can you make sure that you get the right one?

How can you trust someone you've never even met to look after your hard-won clients, your IP, and your business reputation?

• How do you know which of the many Virtual Assistants out there is right for you?
• What should you be looking for in terms of skills, setup, personality, and availability?
• What processes and safeguards should you be working with to protect your business?

"How to work with a Virtual Assistant" guides you step by step from deciding what tasks to outsource to finding the right Virtual Assistant and putting in place processes to make working with them successful, rewarding, and fun.

Kathy Soulsby, explains exactly what a Virtual Assistant is and takes you through the different ways in which they can benefit your business, and even when a VA isn't the right solution for you.

Answering the important questions on getting the right fit, how to communicate with your VA and really get the best out of the relationship, common niggles and how to avoid them, and those key concerns on cost; all with more than a dash of humour.

A Virtual Assistant could be the key to getting more done, hitting your goals, and being a lot less stressed. This book will support you in finding and keeping the best VA for you.

If you're ready to outsource everything but your brilliance, don't hire a VA without reading this book first!

Praise for the book:

"This book is THE handbook on how to work with a VA. It's really important, too, that entrepreneurs understand that the more they work IN their own business, the less valuable it is. Outsourcing is definitely the way to go....but there are good ways and not-so-good ways of doing that."

"If you are wondering whether working with a Virtual Assistant is the right thing for you and you are also wondering how everything works, GET THIS BOOK!"

"If you run a business and want to outsource then this really is the book for you. Clear, easy to follow with good action plans to implement, it will guide you through outsourcing with ease. Well written, easy to read and helps you every step of the way."
