5. You Can’t Have Effective Communication When You’ve Gone Virtual.
If you’ve contracted a Virtual Assistant for the first time, you will notice the difference between virtual and shared space collaboration. It feels unnatural at times not to work with someone in the same place.
But it does not mean you cannot have effective communication when you’ve gone virtual.
There are many online tools you can use to overcome the lack of shared space collaboration:
- Project Management software – Asana, Salesforce
- File Sharing software – Dropbox, Accellion
- Communication – Skype, Slack, Viber
These programs allow you to create virtual conference meetings and seminars. Simply schedule a day in the week to get together with your VA for one hour and discuss work-related matters and concerns.
You could also schedule one- on- one meetings, consultations or counselling sessions with your VA so you can build a stronger working relationship.
Langham Virtual Assistant uses Microsoft Teams, Microsoft Planner, OneDrive and Microsoft Power Automate.
