Five different ways to ensure a successful partnership is 1. Good Communication It is important that you establish a very good communication with your virtual assistant as it is one of the main reasons to success. Ask your virtual assistant to give you updates on a daily, weekly or monthly basis, whatever suits best for you. Ensure that the instructions provided to your virtual assistant are always direct, precise and understandable. Make sure your virtual assistant is aware of your preferred method of communication.

2. Be Open and Trust the Partnership First and foremost, in order to have a successful working relationship with your Virtual Assistant you must be open to the concept. Also, be open to any ideas or suggestions your Virtual Assistant may have to offer. Just like any relationship, trust must be earned. When working with a Virtual Assistant it will be especially important to trust that when they say they are working for you they truly are.

3. Have Patience Make sure you let your Virtual Assistant know how you would like to operate your business. Set rules and regulations on how you would like your work done and explain your expectations. Ensure that you answer your Virtual Assistance question and guide them. Also ensure that your Virtual Assistant have enough time to learn about your business and preferences. This will lead to your partnerships success.

4. Give up Control Virtual assistants are an expert when it comes to handling administrative tasks like checking mails, answering calls, data entry etc. It's important that you outsource these tasks to your virtual assistant and allow them to take control. By doing this you will get plenty of time to concentrate on important areas of your business like expansion etc. By giving control to your virtual assistants you can be sure that nothing will go wrong as they handle their work very professionally.

5. Plan Ahead Remember that in most cases, your Virtual Assistant has other people they work for so keep that in mind when you provide them with work. Don't leave things until the last minute. It is important that you make yourself available ahead of time especially if there are deadlines to beat. Virtual assistants are professional workers. They know how to handle pressure as long as they are given enough time to prepare for it.
