So, are you confused that the post is titled with a mention to the
‘Sir Sandwich’? Let’s look into why you must have your own office
valet.
Congratulations,
buddy. You have started your own company. While in the euphoric
initial days of starting your business, you do not mind taking the
extra load and double/triple/multiply yourself as CEO/telephone
operator/receptionist/sales representative/marketing
professional/customer service professional, it definitely becomes
harder as the days go by and your business starts growing.
The business is
still in infancy and there isn’t enough volume YET, to hire new
people. Hiring new people is a hassle. There is no HR person you can
outsource the recruitment process to. If you are looking for a
customer service professional, let’s examine what you do. You want to
hire because you feel you aren’t doing a good job out of it yourself.
But how do you go about interviewing a prospective employee? Here is
where it is a great idea to invest in a Virtual Assistant.
A lot of mandatory
office tasks can be automated. Paperwork, acknowledgement emails and
phone calls, maintaining a website, scheduling meetings can be
automated. Automating these tasks leaves you free of mundane tasks
and you are free to look into your job and focus on your core
competency.
So, automate as much as you can. Get
your personal valet, sans the Sir sandwich.
