FAQs on Outsourcing
What programs/apps do you use to communicate and pass resources between you and your client?
We use a range of different apps - it depends if the client already has a system in place for their other staff, and we just attach ourselves to their current system. Otherwise, we would recommend something like Asana as a task management system. If file sharing is required, OneDrive, DropBox or Google Drive are good options. When using these, we always move the files across to our cloud server, so they don't get lost (and are backed up), then share a copy (not the original!) back through OneDrive/DropBox/Google Drive. We always keep a copy in case the shared file is lost or damaged.
Does the support of a VA provides a company alter depending on the number of staff that are employed by the business owner?
It depends a lot on the industry the business is in, and the type of staff employed. Generally speaking, those with under 5 staff don't have a lot of admin support behind them and it is usually left to the employees and business owners. Having a VA can change the way that size business operates and can free up a lot of time for the team to turn into billable time. Virtual Assistants can also be used to prepare for the hire of an admin support person - doing up an instruction manual, putting processes in place to follow, guides on how the software works, etc.
When you start working with largert organisations with admin teams, itu's usually supporting them in small areas (eg not quite needing to hire an extra person) or filling in for leave (eg maternity or long service leave), or "topping up" the uspport when the business is experiencing a rush of work and becomes overloaded.
Is it more common for people to hire a VA for 1-2 days/week solid, or is it more likely to be spread across the week?
It is usually spread across the week to enable multiple touch points with the staff, business owner and customers. It also provides the greatest amount of flexibility for the VA to support the business across the entire week (priorities, circumstances and situations change across the week).
In some situations, set days or times are required (for example,minute taking, supporting online events, etc).
