Why Collaboration is Different in a Virtual Setting


When working in a traditional office setting, collaboration happens organically. Physical proximity makes communication seamless, whether stopping by a colleague's desk for a quick update, brainstorming over lunch, or holding an impromptu meeting. However, when working virtually, the lack of face to face interaction can make staying connected and moving forward in a cohesive way difficult.


Thankfully, structured collaboration tools help teams stay connected, organized, and efficient.


For Freedom Maker virtual assistants and their small business clients, digital platforms are the backbone of day-to-day operations. Whether managing calendars, tracking projects, or handling marketing campaigns, the right tool makes all the difference.


Freedom Makers are highly skilled virtual assistants who utilize many platforms that bridge the gap between virtual and in-person work. These platforms allow them to manage their tasks, track progress, and maintain open lines of communication with their clients. 


Based on our data and real-world applications, here are the five most commonly used tools by Freedom Makers and how they help clients in different industries:
