What are the Benefits and Advantages of hiring a Virtual Assistant?

 

• A VA has many years experience as a senior executive or administrative assistant.

• A VA saves you time and money by completing your administrative needs quickly and efficiently, while reducing your overhead expenses.

• You save the cost of hiring a new employee:  advertising the position, interviewing candidates, staff training.

• You have no additional expenses such as vacation time, taxes, benefits, overtime, or CPP.

• You don’t pay for "down time":  illness, breaks, time wasted while the employee waits for the next project.  With a VA, you only pay for the time you need, when you need it.

• There is no need to pay for additional furniture or equipment (computer, phone).  Your VA works remotely from his or her own fully equipped home office, while communicating with you by e-mail, fax and phone.

• If your office is small, do you have the physical space for a new employee, or would you have to re-locate?  A VA can be located across the street or around the world and still meet your needs.

• Your VA helps you keep up with all the various administrative duties that are necessary for the day-to-day operation of your business, while you spend your extra time doing what you enjoy with friends and family.

• A VA is also a business owner, so he or she understands your needs and priorities.  A VA has a vested interested in his/her client's business – the more successful the client is, the more likely the VA will be hired again, or referred to others.
