Virtual assistant training

Question
How do I train my new virtual assistant? 
Answer
If too much training is needed, other than any requirements you have that are particular to your business, you may have hired the wrong VA. Otherwise, training a Virtual Assistant (VA) is only slightly different than training an traditional assistant.

- Use the latest technologies -- Web-based, CDs, facilitators, etc.

- Communications tools -- phone, email, IM -- to correspond with the VA and establish your expectations for workflow and the VA's comfort in each medium.
