QUESTIONS + ANSWERS
WHAT IS A DISCOVERY CALL AND HOW DO I BOOK ONE?
A discovery call is 'THE CALL' we have together after enquiring about my services. I will contact you after you initial enquiry to set up a time to chat.
During the discovery call discuss
1. What services you require and if I have the skill set to carry them out.
2. The time frame in which you need the project completed and If I am able to accommodate
3. and importantly to see if we are each other's kind of people.
It is important that we can have a balanced working relationship.
WILL I MEET MY VIRTUAL ASSISTANT IN PERSON?
I guess you could, if you live local to me and would rather catch up in person rather than have a discovery call , I don't see why not. But otherwise no, everything is online right from the booking process through to the deliverables.
CAN MY VIRTUAL ASSISTANT WORK ON HOLIDAYS, WEEKENDS, OR AFTER-HOURS?
Firstly I am a mum, to 3 children + 2 step children, so 5 in total which means my hours vary. My youngest is 2 so I work around him mostly which means that my hours vary from, early mornings, around nap times and late nights and when my husband is home to take some of the pressure off me. So yes and no, I will often work parts of weekends and after hours and holidays where we have the kids we dedicate the time to them. However I won't take on any projects or tasks that I am unable to achieve in the time that I have.
What types of projects and tasks can I outsource?
You can outsource anything that isn’t your specialized service that can be completed virtually (as much as I’d loveeee to take wedding photos with you, I’d leave that to the pro). Not sure what you need to outsource? Take a few weeks to write down which tasks you are repetitively doing. Then, sort those tasks into tasks that require your expertise and tasks that don’t. You’d be surprised by what you can actually pass off. If you aren't sure, just ask - we’ve worked with A LOT of business owners so we can help you brainstorm!
