5 reasons why you should use a virtual assistant

There are plenty of reasons why a virtual assistant can be a valuable asset to your business. I have outlined five of the most common.

1. YOU CAN WORK DURING BUSINESS HOURS

A virtual assistant is like a personal or executive assistant, but they usually don’t work from their office. They are self-employed or outsource their work to companies and even individuals remotely from their own space. So an email at any time of the day is no problem. Just make sure you don’t go out of bounds. They also need personal time.

2. THEY TAKE CARE OF YOUR BUSINESS

You’re busy at work, you have a ton of documents to write, you keep up with all your emails and social media messages, and you’re there to run your business. A VA can free up your time by doing these tasks for you!

3. SAVE MONEY ON EMPLOYMENT COSTS

If you hire someone to do your job, you will generally need to pay your employee an hourly rate. On top of that, there may be penalty fees, retirement, annual leave, personal leave, and possibly other bonuses. You should also make sure you have adequate insurance and pay your taxes.

Yes, it’s still nice to have an employee who does the tasks you want done, and yet most likely still does; Hiring a VA eliminates all of these additional expenses. You can do the same job for less.

4. PAY ONLY FOR WHAT YOU ASK FOR

A virtual assistant will consult with you to discuss your requirements.

Whether you need someone to help you for just a few hours a day, perform specific tasks on an ongoing basis, or just one project, a Virtual Assistant can help meet your needs.

A virtual assistant will manage your requirements at fixed rates and bill you accordingly. The best thing is that you only pay for what you order.

5. COMMUNICATION IS EASY

You do not have to manage a Virtual Assistant. Help is just an email or phone call away. There are no monthly checks, report writing, trial periods. If you have any questions or need something done, just contact them. If you believe your work was not completed to standard or as requested, they are obligated to correct it. They work with you to ensure that your needs are met at the highest level.
