Meet Sandra Johnson-Wallis, a virtual assistant who takes on all those important but tedious tasks that business owners don’t have time for or simply want to avoid. Based in Stone, Sandra provides administrative, technical, and creative support to her clients remotely. Her services include managing emails and scheduling appointments, managing invoices and tracking expenses, writing website content, and editing videos. With over 25 years of experience in running a business and helping business owners, Sandra set up Delegate 2 Accelerate in 2020 to help numerous business owners succeed by delegating.
A typical day for a virtual assistant like Sandra can vary depending on her clients’ requirements and the specific tasks on her to-do list. Tasks throughout the day may include updating her clients’ schedules, completing administrative tasks such as data entry and bookkeeping, managing social media accounts, conducting research, creating presentations, designing websites and writing content, or managing customer support.
Delegating routine tasks to a virtual assistant can free up time for business owners to focus on other important tasks and projects, leading to increased productivity. And with advances in cloud-based technologies and the widespread use of online meeting software, remote work has become much easier.
While working remotely can sometimes lead to feelings of isolation and loneliness, virtual assistants can join online communities or networking groups to connect with other professionals or attend virtual events. And with the flexibility that being a virtual assistant offers, they can often choose their own working hours, work from any location with an internet connection, and have more control over their schedule.
Overall, being a virtual assistant offers many benefits and rewards, including the variety of work that keeps the job interesting and the satisfaction of making a positive impact and helping others succeed.
