There’s a trend in the business world.
100% full attention and dedicated support through VIP days.
Think of it as the old-fashioned C-suite off-site meetings, where key decision-makers gather in one room away from the office chaos to accomplish a goal.
For small business owners and entrepreneurs, we all know how difficult it is to take time away from our businesses.
There are likely several projects and action items that have been on the back-burner for far too long.
Let me introduce the idea of a VIP day with a virtual assistant.
Your virtual assistant will work with you and ONLY you, providing one-on-one support for a dedicated chunk of time.
I suggest a duration of 4 to 6 hours.
The virtual assistant will clear their work schedule, including networking, meetings, and answering client calls, to
Focus on one thing and ONE thing only: YOU and YOUR Business.
The key takeaway is that your project or to-do list will receive 100% support and focus.
Here’s a real example: Last week, one of my clients requested help with several items on her to-do list.
These ranged from operational questions, testimonial graphics, technical inquiries, to cleaning up multiple email accounts/calendars.
I cleared my calendar, meet with her onsite and tackled one by one her to-do list. At the end of the day, she stated:
"I'm so Grateful for the mountain we moved on Friday"
To ensure a positive and productive VIP day, here’s a list of items to keep in mind:
BEFORE THE SESSION
- As the business owner, have an end goal in mind. What do you want to achieve at the end of the session?
- Both you as the business owner and your virtual assistant should clear your calendars and communicate to clients that you will be working “off-site” (even if it’s in your own office) and unavailable for the day.
- Prepare in advance by creating a list of action items and project tasks to reach your end goal.
- Agree on a location, whether it’s in-person or virtual.
- Share with your virtual assistant the expected outcomes and the type of support you are looking for.
DURING THE SESSION
- Turn off all external communication, including Voxer, text messaging, phone calls, and emails. Remain focused on the work.
- Be prepared with all key accounts, passwords, and necessary items.
- Set a goal at the start and celebrate what you accomplish.
- Have snacks and beverages available to ensure you remain alert.
- In the last 15-20 minutes, take note of major action items, next steps, and assign action items with a timeline if necessary.
AFTER THE SESSION
- Work on the action items and follow up on any tasks that were tabled due to insufficient time or information.
- Review what went well and identify areas for improvement
- Celebrate your accomplishments
A VIP day of 100% dedicated support to work on a project, new product design, or social media planning and scheduling will propel your business forward. It allows you to remain in tune and focused on accomplishing a specific goal or project.
