When it comes to outsourcing work in your law practice to a virtual assistant, proper delegation is all in how you ask and the tools that you use.
Recognizing and dealing with issues that may arise on your side or the side of your virtual assistant, as well as utilizing delegation tools with some know-how, can help you fully optimize your VA’s time and expertise.
When it comes to outsourcing in your law practice, the first nod is generally given to the administrative assistant or legal assistant who comes to work in your office. However, given the changing landscape for lawyers and law professionals, it’s the second nod that is starting to look much more appealing – the nod to the virtual assistant.
With the growing number of solo professionals, the need for marketing, administrative, social media, web and graphic services is increasing and the process of finding assistance for your business in this area can be overwhelming. Most solo professionals feel like they have to find a service provider in each of these task areas but what they may not know is that there are virtual assistance firms out there that offer all of these services and more.
I am so excited to be a part of the Lawyerist community as a contributor. I can’t wait to get to know the members of this community better!
If you ask people on the Internet who I am, you’ll probably hear a variety of things: owner of a creative, professional outsourcing firm; new media princess; and Bizinatrix to name a few. You also might hear that I’m involved in a mad, passionate love affair with the Internet. Well, all of the aforementioned things are completely and utterly true.
My love affair with all things geek started back when I was about six years old and my dad handed me a Commodore 64. My sister and I first used the computer to play ‘office’ where I was the President and she my employee. Fast forward 21 years and not much has changed!
