A great administrative assistant will keep you sane and improve your capacity to work on tasks that you can make the most money from, develop the business and allow you to take some time off.

A great admin assistant will usually be faster and more efficient than you and put out greater quality.  If this isn’t happening maybe you haven’t got the following quite right

Have you got the right person for the job?,

Have you provided the right training?

Have you got the right procedures?

Remember- you can train skills, but you can’t train attitude!

This checklist is a guide to the kinds of tasks you may need assistance with that you can use as a starting point for assessing skills and attitude to the work required and setting timeframe and quality expectations.  When you have the correct person you can use this information to  set up an employment agreement, sub-contracting agreement or service level agreement.

For best results ensure you have cloud based systems so that you can recruit the best talent from anywhere in the world or your own back yard!
