How A Virtual Assistant Can Help With Good Business Manners

Good business manners make for good business relationships. They’re important in every facet of business whether it’s interactions with staff, customers or suppliers. Good business manners show the people you deal with that you’re a high-quality person they should want to deal with.

How A Virtual Assistant Can Help You With Good Business Manners – Sharyn Munro Virtual Assistance

A Virtual Assistant can help you show good business manners in a lot of ways. One of the most helpful things a Virtual Assistant can do is to be a backup for you when for some reason, you can’t do the right thing. Here are three ways a Virtual Assistant can help you show good business manners:

A Virtual Assistant can contact your next meeting to let them know you’re running late

Whether you’ve had an unforeseeable emergency; a meeting has run late; or there’s a problem with traffic or public transport. Get your Virtual Assistant to contact the person you’re supposed to be meeting next and let them know you’re running late. That way, they can get on with their day while they wait, or reschedule if they can’t push back your meeting. Your Virtual Assistant can also contact people involved in meetings later in the day and reschedule them to avoid a cascade of late meetings.

Your Virtual Assistant can make sure your correspondence is easy to understand

Letters and emails littered with spelling and grammar errors are hard to read. Many people won’t even bother trying and will just write you off as someone too hard to deal with. Or, you may offer too much information, or go too deeply into detail. Your Virtual Assistant can edit your messages for clarity. Respect your audience by making sure that everything you send out says what it needs to say clearly and concisely.

Your Virtual Assistant can make sure that everybody who needs to know about changes is told

With so many businesses having remote teams and part time workers, it’s important that everybody knows about changes to processes or other facets of the business. It’s also important to be sure you notify customers of changes that will impact them, such as changes of opening hours or price increases. Your Virtual Assistant can keep a checklist of staff to notify about business changes so they all feel engaged. They can keep a list of social media, blog and print publications you use to notify customers about changes. They can also make sure suppliers are told about any changes that impact their dealings with your business. Keeping people informed is important, and a Virtual Assistant can help make sure it’s done promptly and properly.
