A guide to getting your time, sanity and business edge back—with zero commitment.
When most people think about hiring a virtual assistant, they focus on a few surface level questions:
How much does it cost? Is there a refund policy? Do unused hours roll over?
Important? Sure.
But if those are your only questions, you’re missing the point entirely.
Because here’s the hard truth:
The real cost of hiring the wrong assistant isn’t in the invoice. It’s in lost time, broken workflows, stress and sometimes—trust.
Midway disruptions, ghosting VAs, support teams that disappear when you need them most—these are not rare horror stories. They’re what happens when you skip the single most important step:
Trying before subscribing.
And that’s where the Virtual Assistant Exclusive Trial comes in—not as a freebie or marketing gimmick, but as a serious business filter.
In this article we’ll explore the 16 reasons why every entrepreneur, executive, coach and creative should treat a trial period not as optional—but essential.
A Risk Free Test Drive (That Speaks Volumes)
You wouldn’t hire an employee without an interview, right?
Then why hire a Virtual Assistant without testing how they communicate, understand and execute?
A trial lets you see performance in real time—on your tasks, under your expectations. No risk, no strings and no awkward “break-up” if it doesn’t work out.
Think of it as a compatibility test for your business brain.
You’re Not Paying While You’re Still Figuring Things Out
One of the biggest mental blocks to hiring a Virtual Assistant? The ticking clock of a monthly plan.
But with a trial, you’re free to experiment.
Try delegating inbox management, scheduling, research, content writing or Canva design. You may even discover the team includes video editors or automation experts—unlocking new areas of delegation you hadn’t considered.
It’s not just about testing them. It’s about rediscovering what you don’t need to do anymore.
You Save Time from Day One
During the trial, you’re not just dipping your toes—you’re building the foundation.
- SOPs are shared.
- Credentials are handed over.
- Workflows are explained. By the time your subscription starts, your assistant is no longer “new”. They’re integrated.
It’s like onboarding before the contract—an intelligent shortcut to productivity.
Customized to Your Business, Not a Template
The beauty of a trial is the ability to customize.
You’re not choosing from a menu—you’re co-creating your order.
Whether you’re a real estate agent needing help with MLS, or a podcaster looking for someone fluent in Descript, or a Shopify seller outsourcing product descriptions—you test the fit, not just the features.
You See Skills, Style and Attitude—Up Close
Deadlines, corrections, communication etiquette, attention to detail, feedback handling—
All of it becomes visible within a few days of real work.
You’re not guessing anymore. You’re witnessing.
And in delegation, observation is your superpower.
You Realize What You’ve Been Tolerating
Here’s the most humbling moment of the trial:
When your VA handles something better, faster or smarter than you.
That email you’ve been putting off? They draft it in ten minutes. That research list you’ve been putting off? Delivered, structured and color-coded.
The trial shows you the opportunity cost of doing everything yourself.
Pro Tips and Business Insights (From Someone Who’s Been There)
Many virtual assistants aren’t just executors—they’re seasoned professionals who’ve seen dozens of businesses succeed and fail. They know what works, what doesn’t and which tools can shave hours off your workflow.
You’re not just hiring help. You’re accessing institutional memory.
“Why not automate that?” your VA might casually ask—and unlock a month’s worth of time.
Immediate ROI Measurement
Give your VA a task that normally takes you two hours. If they complete it in one—congrats, you’ve just doubled your time.
That’s the power of delegation math.
It’s not theoretical ROI. It’s measurable, moment to moment clarity.
Think of it as a before and after photo—of your own time.
You Build Trust Before You Commit
Hiring without a trial is like committing on the first date.
With a trial, you understand your VA’s rhythm, responsiveness, values and work ethic. You see if they mean what they say.
Trust isn’t assumed. It’s earned. And the trial is their audition.
You Define What to Delegate for the Long Haul
The trial phase becomes your delegation lab. You start to identify:
- Which tasks recur
- What needs SOPs
- What can be automated
- What needs specialized help
By the end of the trial, you have clarity, not just curiosity.
Test Scalability & Future Needs
Do you need a second VA for design? A team for lead gen? Someone to cover while your main VA is on leave?
The trial is your chance to test the company’s bench strength.
You’re not just hiring a person. You’re testing the system.
Because businesses grow—and your support should grow with you.
Check Security & Data Handling Practices
This is where most people overlook—but shouldn’t.
During the trial, observe how the VA or company handles:
- Passwords
- CRMs
- Shared documents
- Access to private systems
Are they using LastPass? Signing NDAs? Practicing discretion?
We often non-disclosure agreements while collaborating with business entities or any customer who wants us to sign an NDA with them.
A trial isn’t just about productivity. It’s about professionalism and privacy.
Assess Cultural Fit and Communication Style
Are they formal or casual? Do they communicate frequently or in summaries? Do they “get” your tone, brand or voice?
Especially for founders or creatives who treat their brand like their baby—tone matters.
The trial helps you avoid friction by spotting misalignments early.
Evaluate Time Zone Compatibility
Do you want overlap with your work hours or someone who finishes tasks overnight? The trial helps you decide if their work rhythm matches yours.
It’s not about where they are. It’s about when they’re there for you.
Test Their Tech Fluency
Do they know Notion? ClickUp? Trello? Asana?
Can they figure out new software or plugins without extensive training?
In a tech-forward world, tool literacy is non-negotiable.
During the trial, you’ll learn if they can swim—or need floaties.
One more imperative thing you should check is the premium software toolkit that they use to assist their clients.
Assess Backup Support Reliability
What if your primary VA is unwell or unreachable? What then?
A good VA company offers backup support during your trial—so you can test how seamless that transition is.
Because a good assistant is great. But a good system is better.
BONUS: Choose the Right Plan—Not Just Any Plan
You may think you need 100 hours—but after the trial, realize 40 is perfect. Or vice versa.
The trial is your usage meter. It helps you right-size your subscription so you don’t waste money or hours. At MyTasker we even create custom plans based on trial data.
A Trial Is Not a Detour. It’s the On-Ramp to Clarity.
The Virtual Assistant Exclusive Trial isn’t a favor.
It’s a filter.
A mirror.
A miniature version of your future workflow.
And if you’re a serious business owner who wants to scale, focus and lead with less stress and more support—this is your entrance.
At MyTasker our exclusive trials are designed to help you:
- Test compatibility
- Discover your real delegation potential
- Choose a team, not just a VA
- And make the decision without the pressure of a plan
