Hello Searchfunder Community,
Over the years, I’ve had many conversations with searchers about Virtual Assistants (VAs) and how they can be game-changers in the search process.
I wanted to address some of the most common questions I hear to help those of you considering adding a VA to your team.
1. What can a VA do for me?
VAs can handle time-consuming tasks that free you up for strategic work.
Here are a few examples:
• Building and managing targeted email lists
• Setting up and running email marketing campaigns
• Managing LinkedIn outreach efforts
• Scheduling meetings and managing your calendar
• Preparing documents, reports, and one-pagers
• Researching industries or vetting on-market deals
2. How much time will I save?
Delegating repetitive or administrative tasks to a VA can save you###-###-#### hours (or more) each week. Imagine focusing those hours on networking, strategy, or analyzing deals instead of getting bogged down in day-to-day operations.
3. How do I onboard a VA?
The onboarding process is simple:
• Start by identifying the tasks you want to delegate.
• Communicate clear expectations and timelines.
• Use tools like Google Drive, project management apps, or shared calendars to streamline collaboration.
• Use Whatsapp groups for quicker communication.
4. Where to find a VA?
Luckily, I provide VA service and have already worked with a lot of searchers. Our VAs are internally trained, so they can transition seamlessly into your workflow, saving you the hassle of extensive onboarding.
