About This Episode

In this Bonus Next Step, BELAY client Bruce Ackerman talks about the most important things you can do to create a lasting partnership with your new VA right from the start.

1. Set your virtual assistant up for success.

One of the most important things a leader can do to make the partnership with a Virtual Assistant a success is to set them up well for success. Taking the time to gather passwords and document and standardize processes will save you time in the long run when you start to hand off tasks to your VA. 

2. Think through what your VA can help you with and what your preferences are.

When you travel, what is your preferred airline or time of day to depart? As much as you can standardize and write these things down, the easier it will be for your assistant to succeed and serve you best.
