Why You Need a Virtual AssistantAftermarket Inception Computers & Graphicswww.aicomputers.net
A Virtual Assistant (VA) is a person hired to work remotely on your tasks and projects. In practice, it means they will most likely work online and perform online tasks, but it doesn’t have to be like that. Depending on the arrangement, your VA can do many different things for you.
Many business owners feel overwhelmed by their work. If this is the case with you, a Virtual Assistant can be a perfect solution for your needs. A VA can make your company more productive and organized. Not to mention they will also free up a lot of your time so you can spend it on more important things.
You Need a Virtual Assistant If…• You feel overwhelmed with all the tasks and projects you
need to complete. The workload is just getting too much for you to handle.
• You spend too much time performing less relevant tasks (such as deleting spam emails) instead of focusing on what’s truly important for your company.
• You keep forgetting deadlines or have messed up documentation because you just don’t know how to handle it properly.
• You have no free time for friends, family or yourself. You are busy on weekends and late at night because you just can’t get all of the work done.
• You are feeling too stressed and overwhelmed.
You Need a Virtual Assistant If…These are all clear signs that you need to hire an assistant. However, you may believe you don’t have enough resources to do so. Perhaps you don’t have a physical office. Or you need just a bit of help so you don’t need to hire someone full time. In these cases - and many others - opting for a Virtual Assistant is the best way to go.
A Virtual Assistant is a person you employ (typically part-time) to handle your tasks without being physically present. In practice, this typically means working online. You hire this person online and all of your communication is performed on the Internet.
You Need a Virtual Assistant If…This gives you a lot of freedom to pick the best person for the job. First of all, you don’t have to limit yourself to people who live in your city (or country). Your VA can be someone from the other side of the world. This may offer certain advantages, since they can work during night and deliver work in the morning (your time).
Another good thing about Virtual Assistants is that you can hire them to perform as much or as little tasks as you need. If all you require is one hour per week, that is fine. You will find a VA who’ll do it for you. If you need someone only from time to time, that is also an option. These arrangements are practically impossible with a traditional assistant.
What a VA Can DoVirtual assistants can perform many different tasks. In fact, a VA can do anything that does not require their physical presence in your company. Chances are that a lot of business communication, administration and even some of the business tasks in you company are done online anyway. It means they do not require an assistant’s physical presence.
What a VA Can DoIn practice, a VA can handle tasks such as:• Email communication. They can screen your email, discard spam
and unnecessary messages, forward the most important emails to you or even respond to messages on your behalf.
• Schedule, confirm and handle your appointments. These can be strictly business related but you may also ask them to handle personal appointments, such as a hairdresser or a dinner at a restaurant. They can also book all of your travel arrangements.
• Make calls on your behalf. One of the best things about VA is that they can handle all of the calls for you so you won’t have to waste your time on it.
• Perform research. Depending on your company and your needs, you may require various types of research tasks to be done. You won’t always have time to do it on your own, so it’s a good thing to handle it to a VA.
• Manage your paperwork. Creating invoices, post payments and handling other paperwork can be very daunting. You can transfer all of this work to your VA.
What a VA Can DoIn short, your VA can perform any task or a project you don’t want to handle or don’t have time to handle properly. They can help you get all of the work done in less time and allow you to focus on what’s truly important for your company.
