Making the decision to hire a Virtual Assistant means you are ready to make the commitment to delegate. My Virtual Assistants are contractors who are highly vetted, high caliber, and high capacity-- but they are not mind readers. 

I recommend that, especially early in the engagement, the client and the Virtual Assistant establish a weekly meeting cadence. This will give the Assistant the opportunity to ask their client questions and the client the opportunity to discuss any upcoming projects/needs. 

Consistency is KEY! Idenitifying the meeting time and sticking with it will ensure a quicker and more effective implementation. 

I ensure these meetings are consistent by pairing each engagement with an Account Manager. The Account Manager acts as the liason between the VA and the client- they share best practices to make sure the client's goals are met.
