The world of a Virtual Assistant in a nutshell.

The word virtual is for some still a very new concept, when I say virtual I mean things like the cloud, CRM applications, video calls etc. Most of us are still very much use to using a year diary to write in all appointments, arranging meetings face to face, traveling to those meetings.

Email Management
Scheduling appointments / calendar management
Following up with clients/customers (sending thank you and other reminder emails)
Receptionist duties (answering occasional calls)
File Management
Research
Personal errands (purchasing gifts for loved ones / family members online)
Taking down minutes of meetings
Creating basic reports (reports on weekly tasks, deliverables, and sales) … and so the very long list of task.
