Virtual Assistant Thank-You Note Message Examples

Virtual Assistants (VA) can do hundreds of tasks for you and should be shown appreciation.

International Virtual Assistants Day is the third Friday in May, making it the perfect day to thank you! Consider giving your assistant the day off, paid, of course.

Why should you thank the Virtual Assistant?

One goal of having a virtual assistant is to save time. They can do things you do not want or do not know how to do.

Matt McWilliams reports that team leaders can increase productivity by 31% with recognition and praise.

Occasionally, writing your virtual assistant a thank-you note is one way to praise them. The thank-you notes should thank them for something specific. “Thanks for the help” is too generic to be meaningful.
