It’s probably the number one question business owners ask when they’re thinking about getting support:
“What would I even hand over to a VA?”
You’re busy. Your to-do list is long. But when it comes to delegating, your mind goes blank.
Here’s the good news:
You don’t need a detailed list of tasks before you get started.
You just need to recognise what’s slowing you down and be open to a better way of working.
Start With What’s Dragging You Down
Instead of asking “What should I delegate?”, try asking:
“What am I doing that someone else could do just as well (or better)?”
That usually includes:
The stuff that’s sitting in your inbox
The things you’re constantly putting off
The repeat admin tasks that you find yourself dreading
Tasks that have to happen but don’t actually move your business forward
Anything that makes you think “I shouldn’t be the one doing this”
Common First Tasks to Hand Over
Here’s what many Strictly Savvy clients hand over in their first few weeks:
Inbox + Diary Management
Responding to client emails, booking meetings, confirming appointments, calendar setup.
Quoting + Follow-ups
Sending quotes faster, following up leads, checking in with past clients.
Invoicing + Accounts Admin
Entering invoices into Xero, reconciling bank feeds, chasing unpaid invoices.
Systems + Tool Setup
Organising your files, recommending the right apps, setting up workflows.
Documentation + Processes
Writing out how things are done so you can stop repeating yourself to other team members.
“But what if I’m not ready?”
You don’t need to be at a certain revenue level.
You don’t need a full onboarding manual or a perfectly mapped-out plan.
You don’t need to know exactly what your VA will do.
You just need to recognise that you’re not the best person to be doing everything anymore.
We help you figure the rest out - from where to start, to how to delegate, to which tasks to hand over first.
The Outcome? You Get to Focus Again
When you’re not stuck in the weeds, you can actually move the business forward.
That’s the real benefit. Not just getting things done - but getting your time and headspace back.
