1. Top 10 Warning Signs that You’re Not Using Your VA Effectively (646) 504-0452 | www.virtualassistantisrael.com

2. Introduction • You should be periodically re-assessing the utilization of your virtual assistant. Fortunately, the signs that you may be under-utilizing your VA are fairly simple to recognize.

3. 1. You’re Constantly Harried • If you’re still spending a huge chunk of your time taking care of the peripheral tasks of your business, you’re underutilizing your assistant.

4. 2. You’re Using Your VA for only about an hour a week • Most VA providers offer plans starting from/require a minimum of ten hours a month. There’s a reason for that. • If you went through all the effort to hire and train an assistant, surely you intended to unload more than a single hour of work a week.

5. 3. You Missed Your Spouse’s Birthday Oh, dear. Now, you’re in the doghouse. • You haven’t handed your calendar over yet? You may be underutilizing your VA! • Have her send you weekly reminders of all these must-not-miss occasions.

6. 4. Responsiveness • Your clients are complaining you haven’t responded to their emails. • Unless your client is your favorite film star, politician or other celebrity, why are you still writing correspondence emails? That’s one of the reasons you hired a VA.

7. 5. You are Falling Behind on Your Business Plan • You drew up a list of goals and how you intended to reach them, including a timeline. • If you’re not hitting your goals on time, you need to figure out what is causing this delay.

8. 6. You Didn’t Pay Your Bills on Time • There’s no reason for you to receive tardy notices. • Toss this at your VA and she’ll have it all done on time, every time.

9. 7. Social Media • You have no (or insufficient) presence in social media. • Social media can oscillate from being an intimidating monster to being a king-sized time sucker, depending on your approach. • Give your VA a goal and a time budget and see your name, reputation and client base take off.

10. 8. Blog Posts • You’re embarrassed to date your blog posts because they are so rare. • Post regularly, on time and proudly with your in-house, virtual writer! We write your material in your voice. • Many of the biggest names out there do exactly the same thing.

11. 9. Your Clients Forget Who You Are • If clients were happy with your service but can’t remember who you are, they won’t be repeat customers. • We have VAs with extensive experience at keeping your customers in touch.

12. 10. You Feel Like Business Expansion is Out of Your Reach A business should grow. • Growing a business requires its own research in a number of directions, as well as potentially bringing in new staff to your team. • A VA can help find these people. Expansion IS within your reach when you have a great VA.

13. Conclusion You already own a successful business, so take the pride you have richly earned and apply it to your future with your VA’s numerous paintbrushes.
