What To Delegate To Your Virtual Assistant While On Holiday Vacation.

Taking a break is important during the holidays. It gives you a chance to spend time with the people you care about. Also, it gives you a chance to rest your body and mind. You need a break over the holidays to get ready for the coming year.

During the holidays, not all of your clients are on vacation. Some people act like nothing has changed. You won’t have to worry about things while you’re gone if you give your virtual assistant tasks to do. It gives you the peace of mind that your business is in good hands.

Here are some things you can ask your virtual assistant to do while you’re away for the holidays.

Email Management

Ask your virtual assistant to keep an eye on your email while you are away. It’s important to be able to answer questions from clients. Research shows that 43% of clients want to hear back from vendors within 24 hours. When you answer your clients and business partners quickly, they will be happy. It lets them know that you will still be there for them even during the holidays.

Settle Balances 

It’s important to finish payments before the end of the year. Your virtual assistant can help you with this task. Ask them to pay off the money you owe them and go after the money your clients owe you. Settling payments gives you a fresh start for the new year.

Send Greetings

A good way to show appreciation is to say hello to your clients. Ask your virtual assistant to send your clients and business partners personalized greetings. It’s a good way to show that you care about them. 

Assign Some of Your Tasks

For some of your clients, it’s business as usual even during the holidays. They would expect you to do the same. Ask your VA to help you with some of your administrative tasks. This would help you get more work done while you are on vacation. It also prevents you from returning from a trip with a mountain of work.

Plan for the New Year

Every business needs to have a good plan. You can’t start off slowly in January because you’re still tired from your vacation. Plan things out well with the help of your VA. Ask them to tell you what they think your business could do better next year.

It’s very important to have someone take care of your business while you’re away. It helps you stop thinking so much and just chill out. Make sure to give your VA the right tasks so they know what to do while you’re away. Also, don’t forget to thank them for all their hard work. Reward them for the time and dedication they put into covering for you.
