What if you were to hire a virtual assistant for your upcoming program or product launch? Many business managers and owners wouldn’t think twice about adding a VA for other tasks. Still, they sometimes forget to consider the benefits of bringing in some reinforcements for such a vital and monumental step in their company.

Perhaps the overwhelming planning stage and seemingly endless to-do lists lead to tunnel vision. Or you figure that only you or your current staff can do the product or program launch. But could it be that you’re gripping the steering wheel too tightly and there’s a better way?

Seeking out virtual assistant services for your launch isn’t for everyone. Still, here are some signs that bringing on a VA could be the right move for your program or product launch plan.

You and Your Staff Feel Overwhelmed by Your Launch

Let’s face it. A program or new product launch inevitably causes some form of stress for business owners, managers and staff alike. That’s pretty much a given. But there’s a difference between healthy stress that propels your team forward and excessive stress that leaves you feeling overwhelmed and de-energized.

Are you up to the task of pulling this thing off or do you have way too much to accomplish? If you feel like you’re drowning in responsibilities due to your launch, a virtual personal assistant or virtual team can help. This support could include anything from helping with a specific aspect of your launch to overseeing the entire thing so you don’t have to worry about it.

You’re Falling Behind on Your Other Everyday Tasks

All those daily responsibilities you had to complete before your product or program launch still need to get done. So, maybe it isn’t the launch that has you feeling way in over your head.

Instead, it’s the simple fact that you only have so much time in your day. Trying to do everything you were before plus your launch is just spreading you too thin.

In that case, a virtual assistant can help with those tasks you typically did before the launch happened. That way, you’ll be free to spend ample time and focus on bringing about the next steps for your business.

The following was shared in a Forbes.com article written by several panelists on the topic of delegating during workplace overwhelm:

“If you can take all the small tasks off your plate and delegate them to other people, then you can focus on what is important.”

A remote assistant can help to keep those peripheral tasks in check. In a roundabout way, your online personal assistant will support your launch. You’ll just be able to delegate your everyday tasks so you can launch a product or program with far fewer interruptions.

You Want a Great Launch Instead of Just a Good One

Make no mistake about it, a VA can help if you get into a launch and realize you need way more support than initially suspected. That frequently happens, even to the best planners.

At the same time, a virtual assistant or remote team can assist companies who believe they have adequate tools and staffing for a good product launch. It could be that these businesses want to go above and beyond to ensure their launch is excellent instead of just good enough.

Some of those launch needs could include pre-launch planning, developing your opt-in pages, connecting your sales funnels and overseeing the testing phase to make sure everything is working as it should. Of course, there is much more besides that a good VA company can offer your launch.
