A Virtual Assistant May Be Just What Your Business Needs.
Who can use a VA? Everyone! Now outsourcing to a Virtual Assistant can
increase productivity, reduce costs and save you and your company time and
money.
Virtual Assistants, also known as VAs, have been around for more than 10
years and in this day and age, utilize the technology era. They are highly
qualified, experienced business owners who basically do the same work as
a typical Secretary, Personal Assistant and Office Administrator combined.
Many of our VA’s are College or University educated in business and office
administration with work experience in an office setting.
So what’s the difference between a regular Secretary, Personal Assistant, Office Administrator and a Virtual Assistant? The main difference is that a Virtual Assistant is just that, Virtual! A VA completes your projects or tasks in our office, using our equipment, and carries out the work through email, fax, telephone and postal service.
The type of services that we can offer through your personal VA varies. Services include general administration services, database and web site development, graphic design, sales support, presentation preparation, telephone answering, bill payments, travel arrangements, bookkeeping, desktop publishing, computer training, telemarketing… the list is endless!
The benefits of outsourcing to a qualified VA are plentiful. VAs use our equipment so there is no wear and tear on your office equipment or a need for special equipment. By outsourcing to a VA rather than hiring an in-office assistant, you will never need to pay employment insurance, vacation pay, sick pay, or contribute to retirement plans and worker’s compensation.
There is no cost for training new or existing employees; our VAs are already
qualified. There is no need for extra office space; VAs do everything from
our office. There is no need to worry about in-office employees requesting
time off.
How else can outsourcing to a VA save you money? We are an Anglo/Australian
firm but with an office in the Southern Philippines. We use the Philippines
for lower cost but higher end solutions and the London and Melbourne office
for higher end solutions at a fair cost. This way we can offer services
to all clients.
VAs are experienced individuals with the ability to catch mistakes made
in-office, not only saving your business money but also protecting your
business reputation.
And for those in-office employees that you cannot go without, a VA can take
a little off the never-ending workload or less important projects off their
shoulders to ensure you, as a successful business, maintain your quality
reputation and increase employee productivity.
So the question really should be, why not outsource to a Virtual Assistant?
