General Administration

As a business owner, you'll most likely want to focus your time and attention on keeping clients happy, finalising new sales, increasing production, and building credibility. Administration on the other hand, may become an area you have to do rather than want to do, and sometimes it takes a back seat as demands on a business owner increase with your growth. However, good administration is a vital part of a successful (and compliant) business.

Fortunately, daily admin doesn’t have to consume a large portion of your time. Rather, if done well it can improve your company efficiency, productivity, and profitability. By employing the services of a Virtual Assistant, you’ll be able to enhance the productivity and efficiency of your business and better your service and offering.

Examples of the general administration we offer:

Invoicing (including reminders and chasing)

Expenses and Record Keeping

Blog Writing

What is a blog? A blog is a regularly updated website or page typically written in an informal or conversational style.

Just like a news article, you need to grab your readers’ attention and keep them captivated. Let your imagination run wild when it comes to naming your blog. No one wants to read another “How to write a good blog”, whereas “Ideas to supercharge your blog” now that's one to read.

Blogs are hugely important to any marketing campaign. They help keep search engines trawling through our website keeping us listed high on their search results.

Before you even begin to create your blogs, think about who your target audience is and what it is they want to know about. What is it that is going to make them sit up and listen (or in this case read)? Is there a common question you’re always being asked, or a topic people always want your advice on? The secret is to share information so people can do it themselves, but by displaying your expertise, to try and encourage people to instruct you as a trusted professional.

Not only is it a good idea to plan your topics in advanced so you know you’ll have something to blog about, but it will encourage your blog platform to flow. Often, businesses miss this step, or don’t appreciate the value in the planning stage and blogs are written and posted at random. A clear plan allows for a story to be told. This stage also allows for you to plan the content for the blogs; What are the key messages you want to get across? List any keywords that need to be included.

Best of all, we can do it for you!

How To Work With A Virtual Assistant

01 IDENTIFY

All businesses operate in their own unique way, and therefore in order to best work with our clients, we need to understand you and your business. We ask you to spend a little time looking at the areas you would like to outsource. By identifying key areas which take you the most time, are repetitive tasks, you don't like to do or you lack the skills in are a great place to start.

02 PREPARE

When you outsource to us, we'll need access to your systems and potentially have a profile set up to work within your business. It helps both parties if you have this information on hand, e.g. logins and passwords, branding pack, image bank. It's also useful for you to set some time aside to run us through your systems and procedures as well as the position you're currently at for ease of handover.
