Managing your Inbox –

Did you know, the average office worker spends 2.6 hours a day reading and answering emails? This was based on findings from a McKinsey Global Institute report.

We also have determined those tasks that truly require our attention – relationship building, sales & customer relationships, This is where the use of a dedicated full-time Virtual Employee allows us to get twice as much done.

Starting each day before we tackle the big projects we provide the daily work list for our Virtual Employees to accomplish. Using this process, allows our VEs and us to focus on the big projects first, and then fill in the ongoing tasks that are on each of our calendars.  At the end of the day, the Virtual Employees provide a Close of Business (COB) Report that allows us to plan the next day’s work.

Overcome Distractions –

‘Open office space has been the buzz lately but can be counterproductive when there are interruptions and socializing going on.  Having a Remote Virtual Employee means not having someone to walk into an office and interrupt the flow of your or your coworkers' flow.
