5 Best Ways to Use a UK Based Virtual Assistant

Virtual Diamond is an award winning Virtual Assistant business, based in the UK. More often than not we get business owners who are stressed and overwhelmed coming to us to say... HELP! Yet, they don't know what we can help with or what they want to hand over. It's the problem with burnout and overwork is you can't prepare for the future or even next week. Here's the top 5 ways that a UK Based Virtual Assistant can help your business quickly and easily.


1. Clear Up Your Inbox

The first step of getting ahead of your admin is your inbox. It can be a minefield of interesting articles, newsletters and important client emails that means things get missed. We can assist with regular organisation, highlighting important emails and filing those that don't need your immediate attention. Using correct tags or coding your inbox doesn't have to be worrying or a stress.


2. Manage Your Diary

Finding that you're in back to back meetings each day? Or worse... you've missed one! Being a UK Based Virtual Assistant means that we're able to log into your emails and assist with keeping your diary clearer, and more organised. Whether this be via colour coding or maintaining good practices we can help you get a firmer grip on your diary.


3. Filing the Proper Way

Dare we ask what your files look like on your computer? Normally, when you work for clients everything is well presented but when you look under the surface your personal business files can be a maze! When you're growing you shouldn't have to search for files or look for important documents that you know you've made but can never find. Having a strong organisational file structure can make your life easier.


4. Let's Talk Processes

When you're a solopreneur looking for a virtual assistant the chances are you don't have a company process manual. Mainly because it's always been just you! That's okay, but when you're growing and onboarding other people having clear processes is essential to make sure your business is running the way you want it to.


5. Research and Gathering Information

Have you spent hours looking to create the colour codes matched from their website? Or collating the different printer information in their area to see the prices, delivery times, quality and more? These hours of research can be done by someone else, as they don't need your expertise. A good brief will allow you to offload this task easily onto someone else, who can compile a report or email with the options for you to pick from. Saving you time and energy you don't need to waste! Being a UK Based Virtual Assistant means that we're available during your working hours, and have more insight into UK markets and options.


This is similar for lead generation, you can spend your time looking for suitable LinkedIn connections or businesses or you can give us the people you're looking for and we can connect with them for you!


If you think any of these tasks could be done by a virtual assistant, then reach out to see how we can become a member of your team and help your business grow.
