Use your VA as a voicemail/service line- If you have to take a vacation there is no need to leave your customers hanging or avoid a vacation altogether if you have a virtual assistant. Instead, forward your customers to your VA’s phone line so that she or he can answer their questions and you do not have to worry about losing business in your absence.

Travel accommodations- Trying to find great travel deals can be a hassle if you do not have a lot of time spare on your hands while you try to catch up with your business so that you can afford the trip. Therefore, many people leave the task to their VA who are usually perfectly skilled at finding lodging, meals, and airfare so that you are completely set once you arrive.

Business and personal gifts- Short on time for the holidays this year or do you need something to greet clients with? Let your virtual assistant take care of purchasing the gifts so that is one less thing on your to-do list!
