As the saying goes, “If you are not planning, then you are planning to fail”.  Making plans in all aspects of life is very crucial to success.  In business, the key to thriving is in planning.

Not one successful business failed to plan for their growth. This is a very important process for every thriving company.  To ensure that a business continues to meet its client’s needs, it should make sure to review their previous performance, their current approaches, and see how it may affect them in the future.

For the purpose of this article, I want to share with you how a Virtual Assistant can help you make this happen.

As you already know, a Virtual Assistant are experienced professionals who can help you with administrative work that takes away so much of your time from what really matters most.  These are usually tasks that are important for your day-to-day business but are so tedious that you spend 80% of your time doing with only 20% productivity.

Since making a growth plan for your business is meticulously tedious, delegating this to a Virtual Assistant is really helpful.

Here’s how you can use your Virtual Assistant to help you create your business growth plan:

Make them help you create a SWOT analysis

Creating a SWOT analysis requires that you research your competition.  A Virtual Assistant can make a thorough research of your present competition – checking out what they are doing, what promotion they are successful with, what new products they have, and many more.

Let your Virtual Assistant research your market for you

Knowing who your market is and understanding their needs is very important in making your growth plan.  Let your Virtual Assistant spend her time researching this for you.  You can give them the data that you need and they will find that information for you on the internet.

Record an audio of your Growth Plan and let your Virtual Assistant transcribe this for you.

Sitting down to write down the whole growth plan can take so much time and sometimes there are a lot of distractions.  Recording what you want to be in the growth plan can be helpful because you can just speak your mind out.  You can even collaborate with your team or partners and record the whole conversation and then let your Virtual Assistant transcribe your meeting.

These are just a few of the things that you can delegate to your Virtual Assistant so you can make your business growth plan.

It’s a true statement that your competitor will also have their growth plan, so it is important to really understand what your competition is doing and how you can make your way in the industry you’re in.
