I’ve met plenty of entrepreneurs who feel trapped in the daily grind of running their businesses. The moment you decide to hire a virtual assistant, you start asking: what tasks should I delegate first? Should it be email management, bookkeeping, or social media scheduling? And how do you trust someone with your passwords or sensitive client information?
PiliSource has been providing vetted assistants who specialize in handling exactly these types of concerns. But I keep wondering: should we hire a virtual assistant, or go full-time right away? Does it make sense to hire one VA for everything, or build a team of specialized assistants as your business grows?
Another question is cost versus value. Would you pay more for a VA with advanced marketing or design skills, or settle for a generalist who’s affordable? And what about training, do you provide your own or expect the assistant to come ready with all the skills you need? If you were to hire today, what’s the first repetitive task you’d happily hand over?
