It is common for business owner, especially those who own small to medium businesses, to be doing everything on their own - from the creativity, to curating their social media feed, to answering emails and phone calls. Do not get me wrong, there is absolutely nothing wrong with being hands-on on your business, but would you rather focus all your energy on running your business rather than doing all these routinary things?

Many entrepreneurs would probably think, getting help is another expense they do not want to make, or that they do not have the time to set up interviews with so many people. Actually, many had this thought at first (and have been on your shoes before) but soon found out it’s a smarter move to seek the help they actually need.

Why You Need an Administrative Assistant
You doing it all may not be the most efficient way in running your business, because right now you are the administrative assistant as well as the owner. Additionally, because you are doing it all does not mean you are achieving the maximum reach of the tasks.
It would be best, for you and your business, that you focus on the important task and have someone else do mundane everyday tasks for you.

The Beauty of Outsourcing
If you are worried of the hiring cost, or of expenses, you can always outsource your needs. Instead of seeking for administrative help in your local, why not opt for a virtual administrative assistant. In fact, there are platforms online, such as Upwork, where you can look for these virtual assistants (VA). There are also outsourcing companies from developing countries providing efficient services at affordable rates.

What They Can Do for You
You can begin by giving your VA simple repetitive tasks here and there. After this, you can start building up from there and give your VA more complicated tasks, depending on what you need. This would greatly depend on the task you need to be accomplished and the VA you will find. To give you a few ideas, here are some common tasks you can assign to your VA:

1. Customer Service
Probably the most important in running a business, knowing the sentiments of your customers is key. With the internet making communication fast, it is best to address concerns or questions about your service right away. 

2. Generate Leads
Also an important part of your business, particularly those in sales. Lead generation is identifying your target audience and reaching those targets through email marketing. You can make your VA do it for you! 

3. Social Media Posting
In business, you probably have social media accounts, and that can be your means to connect to your customers. You can have your VA curate posts for your business and make your social media become more engaging by letting your VA respond to comments. 

This is important for the marketing of your business because social media platforms like Instagram choose “Top Photos” based on the engagement on the photo. Aside from that, this will encourage your users to revisit your Facebook page and will make loyal customers out of your buyers. 

There are so many ways an administrative assistant or a VA can help you in running your business. That said, if you are looking for an administrative assistant, Syntactics Inc, a Philippine IT company, provides virtual assistant services that can execute your tasks and more.
