Virtual Management
Why am I writing about Virtual Management when this is a virtual assistant blog?
Well, if you have ever had a really skilled virtual assistant, you know that they can actually manage a big part of your business. In fact, once you have tried them out, why not call them your virtual management team?
A virtual assistant only becomes part of your virtual management team if they are actually managing an aspect of your company and reporting back to you. Lets look at a few options where a talented virtual assistant could actually be a virtual manager.
- Virtual Manager of Google AdWords and Online Advertising
Manage all ads, keywords and track cost and results for every single expenditure. - Virtual Manager of Online Customer Relations
Management of customer relations. They see support emails, get info@ requests and search the web for people that are talking about your organization – and respond if appropriate. - Virtual Manager of Internet Publishing
Your Internet Publishing Editor is the management person in charge of getting your articles out on time and following your schedule. - Virtual Manager of Virtual Assistant Team
If you have several virtual assistants doing regular tasks for you, then it is time to hire virtual management to manage your virtual assistants. - Accountability Boss
OK, call me crazy, but maybe you need virtual management to manage you. They keep your calendar up to date and hold you to your goals. - Virtual Marketing Manager
For many smaller organizations, having a virtual marketing manager is the next best thing to having a full time employee or working with an expensive marketing agency.
The only things that make someone a virtual manager instead of a virtual assistant is the desire to take on more responsibility, be highly organized and clear on outcomes. A virtual management position can be in the future of any virtual assistant.
Other Important VA Articles:
I really like the idea of thinking of Virtual Assistants also being Virtual Managers, not only as a role but as a service that can be offered to clients. Further, it helps to expand the idea or concept of Virtual Assistants from solely being for administrative purposes, which many Virtual Assistants already do in so many other ways.
