Virtual Assistant
If you're a business owner, tackling daily administrative tasks is something that's often overlooked. Entrepreneurs and small businesses run into a plethora of administrative problems.
Some tasks are put off until later and many are even forgotten. This can result in various company-related problems. With a virtual assistant, your business can run smoothly in the background while you focus on the things that ONLY you can handle.
Increased Productivity
​
Some of the duties of virtual assistants include things like managing your email and keeping up with spreadsheets. Daily tasks like data entry, answering phone calls, communicating with vendors, clients, and payroll translates into better productivity for you.
Once you hire a trusted VA, you can enjoy the extra ability to focus on growth. Freeing up time means you'll also free up your resources, and that's a great thing for everybody. A good virtual assistant should also be able to point out areas where you can be more productive and save time that you might not be aware of.
Reduced Labor Cost
​
If you hire another full-time employee, you’ll not only have to pay his salary but also:
-
Taxes
-
Sick days
-
Holiday leave
-
Worker’s compensation
-
Medical/dental benefits
On the other hand, virtual assistants work as independent contractors. This means they handle all their own expenses, including taxes and insurance.
You simply hire them to perform a specific job, pay them for their time, and that’s it. Think of all the money you’ll save that can be better used elsewhere!
.
Flexibility
​
With a VA, you’re not saddled to a 9-5 workday. They work around your schedule and are there when you need them.
​
If you’re in different time zones, that can work to your advantage, too. Rather than assigning eight-hour shifts, you can develop a schedule that maximizes output while keeping costs in check.
​
And, in the unlikely event that you’re dissatisfied with your VA, you can simply end the contract and hire a different assistant.
​
It’s not always that simple with a full-time employee!
Time
​
From the daily grind of processing invoices to doing budgets, tasks like this can be real time-killers. With the help of a virtual assistant, you'll be able to free up some of your precious time.
In business, time is money. That's why having someone available to take care of the back-end can be so beneficial. Train your virtual assistant and show them all of the ins-and-outs of your business. Once you've developed a relationship and you feel confident that they know the ropes, you're able to focus your attention on other things like growing and operating your business
And more……. A Virtual Assistant will change your life for the better.
