5 Tasks You Should Delegate to a VA This Week

One of the most common things I hear from new clients during our discovery calls is: "I know I need help, but I honestly don't know what I can actually hand over."

When you’re used to doing everything yourself, it’s hard to imagine letting go. But delegation is a muscle you have to build. If you’re ready to reclaim your time, here are five tasks you can delegate to an &Breathe Virtual Assistant this week.

1. Inbox Triage

Stop using your inbox as a to-do list. Your VA can monitor your email, delete spam, unsubscribe you from newsletters, and reply to routine FAQs using templates you’ve approved. They can flag only the emails that genuinely require your personal attention. This way, you can focus on what really matters.

2. Diary and Meeting Coordination

The endless back-and-forth of "Does Tuesday at 2 PM work? No? How about Thursday at 10 AM?" is a massive waste of time. Hand over your calendar access. Let your VA liaise with clients, send Zoom links, and ensure you have buffer time between calls. This will streamline your schedule and reduce stress.

3. CRM Updating and Data Entry

You had a great networking event and collected 20 business cards. They’re currently sitting in a pile on your desk. Your VA can input all those details into your CRM (Customer Relationship Management) system. They can tag them appropriately and even send a polite "lovely to meet you" follow-up email on your behalf. This keeps your connections warm and your database organised.

4. Invoicing and Expense Tracking

Chasing late payments is awkward and time-consuming. A VA can raise your invoices on the 1st of the month, send polite reminders on day 14 and day 30, and log your digital receipts into software like Xero or QuickBooks. This ensures your accountant is happy at year-end and keeps your cash flow steady.

5. Travel and Itinerary Planning

Need to attend a conference in Manchester? Don’t spend two hours comparing train prices and looking for hotels near the venue. Tell your VA your budget and preferences. Let them present you with a neat, booked itinerary. This saves you time and makes travel hassle-free.

The Benefits of Delegation

Delegating these five tasks alone could save you anywhere from five to ten hours a week. What could you do with an extra ten hours? Imagine the possibilities! You could focus on growing your business, spend more time with family, or even take a well-deserved break.
