How to Easily Manage Your Virtual Assistant with Podio

If you’ve ever outsourced any task to a virtual assistant, you know the role of effective and real-time communication, especially when you are on a different timezone than your VA. Here’s what I want to know - HOW are you managing your virtual assistant? What software do you prefer?

Speaking for myself, I’ve used Podio for years and am successfully managing my 2 companies along with other side projects there. Over the years I’ve found Podio to be the most effective tool in terms of managing tasks and several projects at once, getting instant updates and overseeing team’s activities. If you haven’t found your preferred management tool, I’ve prepared a step by step tutorial on how to use Podio to manage your VA (by the way, I am not an affiliate to Podio in any way, I just find it to be a useful tool )

Here's why I like using Podio:

• Ability to create workflows for your team
• Possibility to automate all business processes - manage, assign tasks and oversee the task lists
• Create your own apps
• Get immediate responses and updates about projects from your team 
• Chat and have video calls within Podio
• It’s very cost effective

I hope you found this article useful and got some ideas for VA task management. I’d be interested to know how do you use Podio to manage your team (remote and in-house) or what other software you prefer.
