Delegate Which Tasks?

You hired an assistant to delegate work and help you have more time to focus on growing your business, but now you are not sure what tasks to delegate. Many business owners hire an assistant and then have fear or concern over what tasks to trust the assistant to perform. Trusting someone else with your business is hard, but understanding what tasks to delegate will help you delegate tasks easier.

First, take an inventory or make a list of each task you currently perform daily, weekly, or monthly for your business to function. Make sure to include all tasks even the small ones to your list as this will help you to view your full workload. From this list mark off any tasks that requires your direct interaction such as meeting with clients.

Second, with the remaining tasks that does not require your direct interaction ask this question, “Does the task generate revenue?” If the tasks generate revenue highlight the task in green to represent money producing task. The remaining tasks on your list will be administrative or maintenance and these should be the first tasks to delegate to your assistant. Once your assistant is performing the non-revenue tasks, it is time to review the money producing tasks that your perform.

Third, from the list of money or revenue producing tasks review and categorize the tasks into two categories. The first category is long term or future revenue tasks such as potential or future customers. The second category is revenue or money producing tasks that generate current revenue such as current business orders or current customers. Start delegating the long term or future revenue tasks to your assistant. This will provide you with more time to focus on your current customers or business deals.

Following these simple steps allow you to delegate tasks to your assistant and build more time in your schedule to grow your business by increasing revenue potential.

Virtual Assistant vs In-house Assistant

Benjamin Franklin once said “Lost time is never found again”. But what does that sentiment mean to your business?  Does your business need a full staff of assistants and the office space that they will require to work in, as well as the furniture and equipment? Will you be able to find the right assistants to do the job? Do you have the time to hire, manage, and possibly fire assistants?  Do you keep a steady workload in order to keep these assistants busy? Will there be times that you need your assistant to work outside the normal business hours?  

Today, finding the right people for the job is virtually a key stroke away. I’m talking about a virtual assistant. Entrepreneur magazine writes “Using a virtual assistant can shave hours from your workweek,…, whether you’re starting or growing a business”.   

A virtual assistant can manage as many aspects of your business as you choose, while continuously changing with the needs of your business. A virtual assistant can  recruit staff, schedule appointments, conduct research, create documents and flyers, coordinate transactions, complete database entry and management and so many more endeavors, that cost your business time. And as we know- time is money. A virtual assistant is like having access to an office filled with specialists, but without the office and high overhead.  Best of all, you are in control of what your virtual assistant does and you are only paying for that work.  

The business world of 9-5 hours, an office filled with assistants, and a handshake to seal a deal is long gone. Today, we live in a fast paced world of technology.

Today, every minute counts in the world of business!

At BizeBee Virtual Assistants, you can count on us for all your business needs.
