Hiring your first virtual assistant (VA) is exciting. You’ve found the right person through VPM Solutions, completed onboarding, and you’re ready to hand off some tasks. However, the big question now is: what happens next? What is the property management virtual assistant onboarding process?
That’s exactly what VPM Solutions’ new free course, “Hired a Remote Team Member—Now What?” is designed to answer. This course provides business owners with a clear roadmap for the first 30–90 days of working with a remote team member, outlining how to set expectations, communicate effectively, delegate confidently, and scale operations without losing control.Why This Course Matters
Managing a remote team successfully doesn’t happen by accident. Many business owners struggle with communication, delegation, or training because they don’t have the right systems in place.
This course was built for property management and real estate professionals who want to avoid common pitfalls and create a strong foundation for long-term success.
You’ll learn how to turn your new hire into a productive, trusted member of your business, without micromanaging.
This practical, actionable course walks you through every major step of onboarding and managing a remote team member.
Learn how to build a job description that aligns with your business goals. You’ll identify which tasks to delegate (the ones that drain your time or don’t need your direct involvement) so you can focus on growth.
You’ll also learn how to establish clear work hours, time-off policies, and communication expectations upfront, ensuring there’s no confusion later.
The right tools make remote work smoother. The course covers how to:
These steps help your VA work efficiently and keep your operations running seamlessly.
Effective delegation means creating systems that simplify tasks, making them easy to repeat and manage independently. You’ll learn how to record trainings, build SOPs, and create a “teach-back” process that ensures mastery before full delegation.
This process ensures consistent training and sets your VA up for long-term success.
Learn how to shift your mindset from managing screens to managing results. You’ll discover how to track progress through Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), hold effective weekly check-ins, and empower your VA to take ownership of their work.
When you manage through trust and accountability, you’ll build a stronger, more capable remote team.
Even in remote settings, culture matters. The course teaches you how to establish meeting rhythms that maintain connection, starting with frequent video check-ins that gradually taper into weekly updates once your VA is confident in their role.
It’s about balancing structure with genuine human interaction.
As your VA becomes more capable, you’ll learn how to recognize the right time to add another remote team member. The course includes guidance on building an organizational chart and hiring intentionally for the next phase of your business.
