How It Works

Immediately after signing up you complete a short preferences survey.

The information you provide will help us match you with the best virtual assistant available to meet your needs. We’ll ask how you prefer to be contacted, what type of work you will be assigning, what you are looking for in a virtual assistant, etc.

We set up your account in our Client Area.

We create an account in our Client Area for you. This is a place where we will organize your projects and store files. We’ll also take care of creating a Non-disclosure Agreement to protect your intellectual property.

Within 1 business day, your virtual assistant will send you an email to kick things off.

In this email, they will give you their contact information and instructions on how to get started. We prefer to arrange a phone call to introduce you to your virtual assistant and familiarize them with your tasks.

You delegate work you want taken care of by sending it to your virtual assistant via email, phone call, or Skype message.

You can specify anything you like – for instance, a time frame for getting the work done or an amount of time that you want your virtual assistant to spend on the task before reporting back to you with a progress update. If your task is more in depth and requires training, you can arrange to discuss it over the phone with your virtual assistant, or use screen sharing software to demonstrate how to do something, etc.

Your virtual assistant gets to work completing the task.

Unlike a normal employee who you have to pay for downtime, our virtual assistants only bill your plan for the actual time spent actively working for you. In the Client Area you’ll be able to see exactly how much time you have left on your plan, which tasks are open or completed, and access files from past tasks. Your virtual assistant may recruit other people on our staff to get the work done more quickly or delegate the task to a virtual assistant who has experience. For instance, if the task requires Photoshop, rather than your virtual assistant taking time to learn the software, they’ll delegate it to a graphic designer who will be able to do the task much more quickly and with better results.

When your virtual assistant is done completing the task, they will submit the results to you via the Client Area (you will receive an email).

Work gets done but you didn’t have to do it! This is the magic of Longerdays.com!
