Fire the PA – hire a VA!

Is paperwork stopping you from growing your business? Do you wish you had a bit more time to spend on doing the things that got you excited in the first place? Building a business can turn into an exhausting treadmill if you aren't careful. The more business you do, the more administrative tasks you have; the more time you spend on administrative tasks, the less time you have to focus on generating new revenue.

Wouldn't it be great if you had an assistant that was always ready to work for you, but only when you need him or her? Presenting the Virtual Assistant

Allow me to introduce the Virtual Assistant, a new breed of office manager that has evolved due to the eruption of more home-based businesses working over the internet. The virtual assistant provides practical solutions for small businesses and the perfect solution to manage administrative projects.

Because the virtual assistant is self-employed, invoices only by hours worked or tasks completed, and is dependent upon referrals and steady work flow from existing clients, s/he can be the perfect solution for a busy business. The success of their business depends very much on the success of your business.

A virtual assistant offers several advantages over a paid employee. When you hire a virtual assistant you get all the benefits of outsourcing - no employee tax and benefits issues, coupled with the loyalty and steadiness of a company employee. Traditional staffing solutions don't work for everyone for a variety of reasons. Temps are a transient solution, and they can be expensive. If you need someone only a few hours a day or week, a temp can prove more costly in terms of training than s/he is worth.

Full time employees also come with a host of issues. Not only must you provide equipment and furniture for them, you also have financial obligations, and employer liabilities. It is estimated that the true cost of an employee is over double and sometimes triple the cost of their annual salary in terms of benefits and liabilities.

Virtual Assistants are already computer trained, and can quite happily manage your personal or your business life. Your virtual assistant can write your letters; create your presentations; manage your books, your email, your calls and your appointments; organise your meetings, your travel and book your hotels; create your spreadsheets and help you grow your business. You can train your virtual assistant to go beyond administrative support to client development and marketing support. The service that can be provided by a virtual assistant is limited only by imagination.

So how do you find a VA? You would be surprised how quickly this industry is growing. If the job/project you have in mind does not require physical proximity, then you have the whole world open to you. To help you find the right Virtual Assistant for your needs, the Society of Virtual Assistants (www.societyofvirtualassistants.co.uk ) manages a database of its members and their skills.
