The time difference can be sorted out, Although it may seem a bit difficult for you to manage your VA’s workflow, if he or she is on the other side of the globe, considering the fact that someone working in a time zone that is 10 hours apart from yours may not be available for any last-minute requests or spontaneous clarifications the usually come up within the working day, there are no uncrossed barriers. Given the various communication methods that you can use to speak with your VA, communication between you and your VA is not affected by the time differences. You can still e-meet with them and go over details, ask questions, or provide clarifications. Just compare the times in both your countries using an online meeting planner and schedule an e-meeting. Agree on some overlap hours, based on the time differences.
Provide Flexibility
If your VA is assigned customer facing tasks, such as sales, prospecting, or email/phone inquiries, make sure you agree on the most convenient hours for you. If, on the other hand, your VA is not assigned a customer facing position and they don’t need to be working specific hours, remember why your virtual assistant chose to work for you in the first place: flexibility in lifestyle and working hours so don’t ask them to work the typical 9a.m – 5p.m working hours, just to have fixed hours. Better have clear deadlines and work on task completion rather than anything else. When the day ends, all that matters is that you and your VA were able to see eye-to-eye, and not face-to-face, and share a common business objective.
Allow them to use their Skills
Don’t let time differences get in the way and keep thinking of obstacles. Remember that the distance does not affect the VA’s performance even by a bit. They use their project management skills to make sure each project each completed within the deadline agreed, no matter where they are working from. Just let them.
Hi everyone!
I need your help and advice!
I've recently started my interior design business in Dallas, Tx and I've come to realize that I need an assistant. I can quite afford to hire a full time assistant at the moment and I've searched for some other options and I've heard about virtual assistants. But they're mainly in India and the Philippines and I believe that the different time zones would be a great challenge.
Have any of you ever used one? If so,how does it work and where can I find one?
Thank you all for your help.
