There are tons of ways to being efficient in your virtual assistance company that I just had to write another article!
1. Being Organized
There are so many ways to keep organized in your business. First thing you need to do is clear your desk! Working in a clutter will slow you down especially if you are constantly looking for something you are missing. After you clean off your desk, take an organizer for your papers, even if it’s an inbox, and put your papers in there neatly. Take all your office supplies and put them in your drawer neatly. There you have it, the top of your desk! Since we are working virtual, our main concern for being organized is our computers. I have my companies (I have two) in separate folders. In those folders, I have folders like:
- Client Projects
- Confidentiality Agreements
- Invoicing
- Newsletters
- Articles
- Website Updates
Now, your folders might be completely different and you might not like having about 10 folders but it works for me. If I am looking for something for a client, I just go to my clients’ folder and there everything is in their individual folder. There are endless ideas to being organized!
2. Being Able
Being able means showing your intelligence and talent to your clients. This will improve your business and show you are efficient if you are one step ahead of your client at all times. They will appreciate your ability to ‘read their mind’ and it shows that you have been doing your job all along!
3. Are you good at your job?
It’s simple. Your clients will be able to ‘figure you out’ in the first month of having you as their virtual assistant. If you are good at what you do and prove that to them, you are being efficient for their business. Being good at your job includes:
- Looking into problems on your own and realising that its okay to ask for help too!
- Answering their questions without hesitation.
- Staying focused on your work.
- Completing tasks before the due date.
- Making sure the work is done right.
Like organizational skills, the list can be endless and it ranges on the type of you work you do.
Looking forward to sharing many successes with you!
