Working with a Virtual Executive Assistant can be a real game-changer for your business. It has the power to transform you from time-drained to energetic, or from chaos to control. However, learning what and how to delegate to your Virtual EA is the hurdle you need to jump first.

Learning to let go in your business isn’t always easy. I’ve seen it first hand in the business owners we support. Yet, it’s essential if you want to grow or reach those ambitious goals.

Plus, you need to get clear on what you actually can outsource to your Virtual Executive Assistant. It might come as a surprise to you that you can delegate more to your EA than calendar and diary management…

What an EA can do for your business

Here are five things you can outsource to an Executive Assistant that you might not have thought possible.

1. Team Dynamics

We can help to foster positive team relationships, creating a motivated and productive team without your constant direct involvement. An EA can facilitate communication between team members, manage team-building activities, and handle the logistics of team meetings and events. This support ensures that your team remains driven, even when you’re not directly overseeing their interactions.
Can you imagine what having this support would do for your day-to-day?

2. Expert Guidance

Put your trust in us to be your advisors, sounding boards, and strategic partners. EAs can offer valuable insights into strategy, operations, HR, and technology. With a wealth of experience, an EA can provide you with the advice you need to navigate complex business challenges, helping you make informed, data-driven decisions that propel your business forward.

3. Task Delegation

As a business leader, your unique value lies in your zone of genius. Delegate time-consuming tasks to us so you can focus on high-impact work and development. From managing emails to handling routine administrative tasks, an EA can take on the burden of day-to-day operations, freeing you to concentrate on innovation and growth.

4. Problem Solving

We can identify issues, inefficiencies, and gaps in your operations, helping you improve processes and make data-driven decisions. An EA’s analytical skills and attention to detail mean they can spot potential problems before they escalate, offering solutions that streamline your operations and enhance overall efficiency.

5. Travel and Events

Planning business trips and organising events can be time-consuming and stressful, especially if you’re not familiar with it. Your EA can take on the responsibility of managing all travel arrangements, from booking flights and accommodation to arranging ground transportation and creating detailed itineraries. This way all your travel plans are seamless, allowing you to focus on the purpose of your trip rather than the logistics.

‌Avoid the Overwhelm

When you’re in corporate, you have full support teams around you. Likely there’s tech people, Sales, Marketing, HR, and Legal. But as individuals, we think we can handle everything by ourselves; it’s completely unrealistic. Delegating and getting help is where your power is.

There’s also the trust factor of letting someone into your business. How will they know how you want things done? Can you trust them? I get it; it’s honestly so hard.

This is why when we take on clients, we start working on trust-building straight away because trust is the key to a successful working relationship. Once you make that decision to outsource, you’ll realise it’s not as scary as you first thought, and you’ll finally have the support you need to feel on top of everything again.

No matter the size of your business, we believe you deserve the best. While you might not find us working in a corporate office anymore, we guarantee you’ll receive the full corporate experience – with some added warmth and humour thrown in for good measure.
