In this episode, Becky interviews Darcy Warden, a virtual assistant for wedding professionals (and Event Crush's own VA for the last several years!)
Darcy shares her journey from being a wedding planner to starting her own VA business during the pandemic. We discuss the different services that VAs can provide, the signs that a business might be ready to hire a virtual assistant, VA pricing structure, and how it's impossible for business owners to do everything ourselves. Plus Darcy shares her best advice for wedding pros, and it's honestly a must-listen!
Key Takeaways:
- Hiring a virtual assistant (VA) can be a great way to delegate administrative tasks and free up time for more important business activities.
- A VA who is familiar with the wedding industry can provide specialized services and understand the unique needs and challenges of wedding professionals.
- VA services can include administrative tasks, CRM management, social media management, blogging, and email marketing.
- The pricing for VA services can vary depending on the level of experience and the specific services required. It is important to have a realistic conversation about budget and expectations.
- When considering hiring a VA, it is important to assess the specific needs of the business and determine if the investment will provide value and help achieve business goals.
- Hire a virtual assistant before you get to a place of desperation, so you have time to get set up and bring them on board.
- Have some organizational structure in place, such as organized files and systems, before hiring a VA.
- Recognize that you don't have to do it all and it's okay to hire someone.
- Identify specific needs and pain points in your business to determine what tasks to delegate to a VA.
- Set boundaries and improve email response times to run a successful business.
