A virtual assistant is someone who provides administrative, creative, or technical support to a business from a remote location.
They are an invaluable asset to any small business owner, helping you to free up your time so you can focus on other aspects of running the business or working ‘on’ your business.
VAs are technology-powered assistants that can help save your small business time, energy, and money.
Think of a virtual assistant as an extra-efficient virtual employee that is available anytime, anywhere, to help you with tasks such as scheduling meetings, updating CRMs, researching projects, creating your websites, data entry and ad-hoc tasks. They are perfect for businesses that want to save money on office space, supplies, and benefits without sacrificing productivity or customer service.
A virtual assistant can give you the time to focus on what truly matters in your business and open up new opportunities for success that were simply unavailable before.
Benefits of working with a virtual assistant
Working with a virtual assistant is a great way to leverage your time and keep your organization running like clockwork. You can trust that they’ll take care of the task and give you the results you need without having added stress of managing the additional person or worrying about their reliability.
Plus, with a virtual assistant, you get all the benefits of having access to an employee (scheduling help, research assistance, etc.), minus all of the overhead costs associated with hiring one in-house.
It’s no wonder that more and more entrepreneurs are turning to virtual assistants for help these days; there are simply too many advantages to ignore!
What are the tasks that a virtual assistant can help you with?
It really varies. It depends on what you need help with and the skillset of the virtual assistant you hire. That’s why before you look for one, it’s important to understand exactly what things you can delegate.
A lot of time, it’s this step that stops business owners and entrepreneurs from hiring help – because they’re so busy, they can’t stop and find the time to analyse what they need and further onboard a virtual assistant.
