What makes a perfect first project for your new virtual assistant?
I’ve heard a lot of people say they don’t know where to get started when they hire a virtual assistant. What should they have her do first?
You could give her the assignment of getting to know you and your company - reading your website, for example.
That’s fine, but it isn’t actually productive work. Most people learn best when they are doing something useful. Besides, both you and your assistant will be happier if you are making progress on your goals.
So, what makes an ideal first project?
An ideal project is one that has these 10 characteristics:
1. Requires relatively little background knowledge about your company and its products/services,
2. Does not need a lot of training or education from you,
3. Has a process that is fairly simple to explain or is already defined somewhere,
