Page 1

The Advantage of a Virtual Assistant Productivity is at an all time high, with everyone working to maximum capacity. Businesses are suffering in this tough economic climate and the easiest way to cut costs is to try to do as much as possible with as few people as possible. For a small business owner this means trying to do the impossible and it is a wonderful thing I am sure to be able to hire someone to help out a Virtual Assistant who would do only what you need, without taking time to go through the whole hiring process. A virtual assistant is someone who is experienced and well trained in their area of work, and have chosen to work virtually rather than in a traditional office setting. These are people who could whip up a presentation for you, or update your records or answer your phone during off business hours. A virtual assistant’s work is extremely flexible and you can hire someone to work part time, full time, as a permanent employee or as a temporary staff. You control the kind of work you need them to do, and the amount of time you need them to work for you. If you need help during tax season, or help once a month when you need your accounts balanced. A virtual assistant services can help with that. If you need someone to work full time as a receptionist who answers the phone and keeps your appointments updated, a virtual assistant can do that too. In any situation the advantage of working with a virtual assistant is that you do not need to bother with finding a physical workspace for this type of employee. If you work with a service, you do not have to bother with all the HR related issues of hiring, training or maintaining a staff. You just pay the service provider and they do the job end to end for you. A virtual assistant is a boon for many people who need staff at a moment’s notice sometimes for short periods of time.
