We’ve all heard the advice that if you want to grow your business you need to focus on the things you do well and delegate the rest to others. When it comes to putting that advice into practice, many of us come up short.
I am just as guilty of this as anyone else. Recently, I decided to do something about it by getting some help from the folks at Zirtual. Zirtual is a virtual assistant service that offers virtual assistant with great virtual assistant skills
and personal concierge services to people around the world. Founded in 2010 and headquartered in San Francisco, Zirtual offers US-based, college-educated virtual assistants that are available to handle a wide-variety of tasks and that are designed to help people get and stay organized.
Zirtual assistants perform a variety of tasks, including but not limited to:
- proof reading
- sending out birthday cards
- ordering flowers
- making travel arrangements reservations
- scheduling meetings
- conducting research
- making calls
- coordinating plans
- returning calls
Your Zirtual virtual assistant service also comes with an “Epic Guarantee” — that you’ll be satisfied with their work and that your personal information will be kept safe. If you have problems with the service you can have a new virtual assistant appointed and also have the option a refund in certain circumstances.
Starting with the Premium Plan ($197/mo) is a great way to get started. I am finding that working with a virtual assistant is a skill – the more you do it, the better you become. Then also remember that you do not have to use your own address for your business, there are virtual office services where you can use a brilliant address such as London where they forward your mail to you so this is much better if you’d like to keep your personal address private.
So if you have trouble getting to your important work because you are always busy dealing with the urgent, I recommend giving the folks at Zirtual a call.
