SophieZo Virtually There For You

Tips for Hiring Your First Virtual Assistant(s)

October 26, 2009 by sophiezo 1 Comment

1. Take one to two weeks to “follow yourself” through your day.

2. Write down everything you do during your business day.

3. Note how long each task takes.

4. Review your list and determine which tasks are too time consuming, difficult to do effectively, and/or are not fun to do.

5. Decide which tasks you can delegate to the Virtual Assistant(s) you intend to hire.

6. Check Google, Twitter, Facebook and ask fellow entrepreneurs for referrals for Virtual Assistants they know.

7. Contact the potential Virtual Assistants you find who may be compatible and qualified with the skills you require.

8. Conduct interviews.

9. Choose the Virtual Assistant(s) that best suits your needs, personality and business model.

Once you complete this process, enjoy your new-found time to grow your business, make more money and relax. Enjoy your business the way you intended to in the first place.

    Hi, Suzanne!

    Thank you for commenting on this post. That is a good point. If there are things you don’t get done that obviously need to be delegated, you should add them to the list. Thanks for adding that.

    Sophie

We’ve been working with Sophie Zollmann for almost half a year now, building an online lifelong learning platform and community from the ground up (because in-person classes became impossible in light of the corona virus). Sophie has guided every technical aspect of this enterprise including the construction of landing-pages and websites, the management of mailing lists and revenue funnels, setting up Zoom meetings, etc., allowing us to focus exclusively on content production and marketing. This platform is now off the ground and succeeding beyond our wildest hopes.

We couldn’t have built it without Sophie’s support, which has always been prompt and timely, and her guidance, as she’s always pointed us to the most efficient and economical solutions to whatever technical issue we’ve faced. In the heat of the moment, I’m sure we’ve not always been easy to work with, but Sophie has also been generous and understanding to a fault. In sum, her support has been flawless and absolutely essential to the success of our online enterprise. We will be relying on her services again as we ramp up for our next phase of growth.
