Beyond Admin Work: Strategic Tasks Filipino VAs Excel At

By Beyond Business, May 20, 2025

When most business owners think about hiring a virtual assistant, they picture someone handling calendar invites or replying to emails. But that’s just scratching the surface.

The truth is, today’s Filipino virtual assistants, especially those vetted and trained by Beyond Business Virtual Assistants (BBVA), are capable of supporting your business at a strategic level.

Here’s a look at the advanced, high-value tasks BBVA VAs can handle—tasks that drive growth, not just keep you afloat.


1. CRM Optimisation and Automation

Beyond just logging leads, BBVA VAs can:

  • Segment your contacts
  • Create automated follow-up sequences
  • Clean up duplicate records
  • Build out pipeline stages
  • Track metrics and generate reports

Whether you're using KVCORE, HubSpot, or Follow Up Boss, your VA can turn your CRM into a client-conversion machine.


2. Social Media Analytics and Campaign Scheduling

Posting is just the beginning. BBVA VAs can:

  • Schedule content across platforms
  • Optimise post timing using insights
  • Track engagement metrics
  • Adjust strategy based on results
  • Research competitors’ social strategies

Think of them as your mini social media manager.


3. Email Marketing and Drip Campaigns

Got Mailchimp, Constant Contact, or ConvertKit? Your VA can:

  • Set up campaigns and segment lists
  • Write and schedule follow-up sequences
  • A/B test subject lines
  • Track open and click-through rates
  • Coordinate newsletter schedules

No more last-minute scrambling to “just send something.”


4. Basic SEO and Blog Support

If you're blogging or updating your website, your VA can:

  • Format and publish blog posts
  • Insert keywords based on your strategy
  • Optimise on-page SEO elements (H1s, meta tags)
  • Source royalty-free images
  • Track content performance over time

Your content gets published faster—with impact.


5. Lead Qualification and Scripted Prospecting

Your VA doesn’t just gather leads—they can qualify them too.

  • Use lead scoring checklists
  • Ask pre-screening questions
  • Schedule discovery calls with qualified prospects
  • Manage cold outreach scripts
  • Follow-up after open houses or digital downloads

They act as your gatekeeper—so your time goes to the right people.


6. Data Collection and Market Research

Need competitor insights, pricing benchmarks, or audience intel?

BBVA VAs can:

  • Compile market data
  • Track pricing trends
  • Research client pain points
  • Build research decks for sales or pitches
  • Monitor industry shifts

This fuels smarter decisions—and better positioning.


7. SOP Documentation and Workflow Building

One of the most powerful things your VA can do?

  • Document your processes
  • Create “how-to” guides for repeatable tasks
  • Set up automations in tools like Zapier
  • Identify bottlenecks in your operations
  • Suggest workflow improvements

This helps you scale and onboard faster in the future.
