Virtual Assistants (VA) are independent entrepreneurs who utilize today's technology and communications to provide office and administrative services to businesses remotely. A Virtual Assistant can offer you an extension of your own office.
Generally, VA's do not meet with their clients onsite. Projects and assignments are handled using phone, fax, e-mail, FedEx, UPS, U.S.P.S and hand delivery for local clients.
A VA works from their own home office, using their own equipment, to provide many services to businesses, executives, or anyone who needs office related assistance.
1. Focus on the business of making money. Having
a VA allows you the freedom to create more profitability for your company
by allowing you to concentrate solely on your business, not the mundane
tasks that are inherent in business. Making money is what business people
do and the more time they have to concentrate on their business, the more
money and opportunity they will create. 2. Saves time and money. Why
invest in payroll, benefits, insurance, etc., when you could be delegating
that money to building your business. Why worry about personnel calling in
sick or taking vacations? There is no need to hire in-house personnel when
a VA can be there when you need them to perform the duties that you need
in running your business. 3. FREEDOM! Having a VA
work with you frees you up to pursue the activities that help keep your
creative juices flowing. When you are bogged down wondering if the bills
are paid, or if your Web site is up and running, you are not thinking
about new and exciting ways in which your business could be growing. 5. Tailored to fit your needs. Whether
you need help on a one time project, a letter typed or monthly billing to
clients, a VA can perform these duties. They are set up to fit each
individual client's needs. Fees are arranged for one-time tasks to
discounted retainers of 10, 20 or 40 hours per week or month. Whatever
your needs are, the VA and you create your own individual working
partnership. 6. You can work from any location. Whether
you are in your office, on the road, your home, or on vacation in the
South of France, a VA is always accessible to you. Contact is maintained
through telephone, fax, E-mail, and online messaging. 7. Delegate your mundane, time consuming tasks. Let
a VA take care of those responsibilities that keep you from generating
revenue. You’ll be able to pursue (worry free) the business of living
your life and running your business. 8. Highly trained personnel. VAs
are professionals and entrepreneurs just like you! They have years of
training and experience in the corporate, small business and professional
world and have tailored their skills to meet with the needs of the modern
day business professional. They have found that every professional has
varying needs and offer their expertise in caring for these needs. 9. Individual service provided. Whether
you are a freelancer, life coach, real estate professional or small
business, it is important that your particular needs are seen as unique.
VAs will oversee your business and/or personal life. They can maintain
your mailing lists, maintain correspondence, and keep track of your
database of memberships that need to be renewed, create spreadsheets,
remind you of important dates, arrange travel or send flowers, gifts, and
cards to your friends, family, and clientele. VAs specialize in
“partnering” and take a genuine interest in you and your business or
personal activities. 10. Our strengths are your strengths. Why
waste precious time on tasks that don’t contribute to your bottom line?
Being a successful business owner entails hiring the right people for the
right job. By hiring a VA, you are partnering with the professional that
has the knowledge of the inner workings of the administrative and
corporate fields.
