What is a Virtual Assistant?

Virtual Assistants (VAs) are micro business owners who provide professional

administrative and personal support while working in long-term collaborative

relationships with only a handful of clients. VAs supports their clients without having to

ever step foot inside the clients' offices.

Hiring a Virtual Assistant

Collaborating with a VA reduces stress, it also helps you reclaim the time you lose each day on administrative tasks. Thus, allowing you more

valuable time focusing on the more important things – like running your business, spending time with your family, or just relaxing.

 If you are an entrepreneur or work for an enterprise that requires the help

of a virtual assistant, hiring one is usually quick and convenient. Since virtual assistants are private contractors, you do not have to go through an entire employment procedure; rather, you just pay for services rendered. In most cases, there may be a contract that both parties sign, as well as other

procedures such as transferring of money, but beyond these formalities, hiring a virtual assistant is usually a much more streamlined process than

hiring an employee.

Can I afford a Virtual Assistant?

 

Time is valuable, and in short supply. When you hire a VA to handle time-consuming tasks, you are literally buying back your own time. Think of what you could accomplish if you had just a few more hours in your day. Since most VAs work at their own

homes using their own equipment (e.g. computer, printer, copier, scanner, fax machine), you do not have to pay for supplies or even a desk. VAs cut down on overhead expenses. While you might have to pay for phone calls or special software, other

expenses are non-existent.

Advantages of a Virtual Assistant

Although the Virtual Assistant's hourly rate is more than the employee's hourly rates; you save the cost of benefits, overhead that would have applied to employee's wage.

Virtual Assistants are usually more experienced, more efficient, and better connected; you will need to devote far less time on projects while getting better results.

The primary benefit is that the client does not need to worry about paying taxes for the VA, or about employment laws and unemployment.

No more being left short staffed due to employees calling off sick No more worrying about coverage during employee vacation times No more employees with child care issues No more work loss due to weather conditions No more paying for socializing/idol time No more paying for long lunches In addition, Virtual Assistants go beyond the normal assistant's duties to

affect your own personal productivity. You are only paying for the services you receive. Simply put, contracting with a Virtual Assistant it is more cost-effective.

How do I know a Virtual Assistant will do a good job on

my projects? 

Your satisfaction is key to the success of my business, so you can expect solid and

reliable performance on a continuing basis. You can trust, as you virtual assistant, I will take care of your

business needs as if they were my own because my business is helping YOUR

business succeed.

How will my Virtual Assistant communicate with me?

Communication is vital to developing and maintaining an effective relationship you

are your virtual assistant. We communicate via telephone, instant messenger, text

messaging, conference calls, fax, and email.

How do I pay my Virtual Assistant?

I accept PayPal, money order, certified cheques, cashier’s cheques, and company cheques as payment.  For each project you contract me for, a 50% deposit is required before the project begins. The remainder comes due when the project is completed. If you are interested in monthly retainers, the full monthly payment is due at the beginning of each month. You are committed only to the project or time periods for which you contract my services.
