\\nKEY TAKEAWAYS
\\nThe fears you might have when hiring your first VA or a staff member
\\n- \\n
- Will they do the tasks you\'ve assigned as good as me? - This is natural, however, you may find your new staff member will find out a better and more innovative way to complete your task. You can use the interview process to test this.
- Will it take more time to train them, than If I had just done the task myself? - Yes, initially but you can\'t grow your business until you outsource the lowest income generating tasks. Create system documents so that you don\'t have to spend all of your time training them.
- What if they don\'t work out? - You have full control so if it doesn\'t work out you don\'t have to continue to use them. If so use it as a learning experience to find the right candidate for the role next time around.
- What if they steal my business idea, my clients or my IP? - Put in place a clear contract of engagement (not a contract of employment) over everything, you need to build up trust with your VA or staff member and over-time you can gradually give away more logins and passwords to your business.
- It does take time to hire, so how do you get past that fear? - Within our VA hiring portal ‘The VIVA club’ you can learn how to systemise and automate your hiring process and ensure you find the right person for you, who can help improve your business and help you to grow and scale your business. First of all, be clear on what you’re looking for when hiring a VA and put in place KPI’s and KRI’s so you can manage expectations. Make sure you have produced onboarding documents and your software and systems are set up to train and get the most out of your new VA. \\n
