At VA MASTERS, we often write about our rigorous 6-step recruitment process and how vital each step is (from job posting to interviews). While our comprehensive training ensures seamless integration of Filipino virtual assistants into our clients’ businesses, there are several other parameters that affect daily performance.
Beyond recruitment and training, successful virtual assistance requires ongoing expectation alignment and clear work standards. Every interaction matters – from how we communicate with VAs, using video calls, showing interest in their lives, earning their respect, to how we delegate tasks.
When working with Filipino virtual assistants, you’ll typically start with a set of routines that expand over time. While initial enthusiasm might drive perfect execution of processes, maintaining high standards as workload grows requires systematic approach.
Here’s what we recommend at VA MASTERS:
1. Video Documentation
Each task begins with a detailed video demonstration, showing the process from A to Z.
2. Dual-Task Implementation
Every assignment becomes two tasks:
2.1 Documentation – Converting the video into a comprehensive SOP
2.2 System Integration – Creating recurring tasks in the management system
3. Dry Run Validation
Before full implementation:
– VA performs the task without final execution
– Review and approval process
– Feedback and adjustments
4. Progressive Monitoring
– Daily initial oversight
– Transition to periodic checks
– Reduced supervision as proficiency grows
Real Example:
Recently, in our WhatsApp group, I assigned Josie (one of our elite Filipino VAs) a task informally – deviating from our standard process. Despite the informal delivery, her exceptional training and professional standards shone through. She took initiative to:
– Review the video thoroughly
– Coordinate SOP creation with the team
– Set up proper task management in Asana
– Ensure flawless execution
