Buyer questions
Good questions before you hire.
What admin tasks are safe to outsource first?
Calendar cleanup, inbox sorting, document prep, CRM updates, and data entry are usually safe starting points when access is limited and examples are clear.
Should an admin assistant send emails for the owner?
Start with drafts. Let the owner approve the first replies, then move simple messages to approved templates after quality is consistent.
