subject: This Is What's In Today! - Virtual Assistance by:Arienne B. Acuña [print this page] Virtual Assistance can bring the best in administrative, personal and technical support to business owners and even to simple living individuals who at certain time is caught busy as a cat on a hot tin roof. Virtual assistants provide varied services from administrative, creative and technical assistance. They can help you save time and money by taking over special projects without taking up office space or requiring additional training.
Since they are independent contractors and not your employees, you don't need to worry about their paid vacations, no sick leave, no extra insurance or employment taxes to worry about! You don't need to direct or manage them so you could dedicate your time in expanding your business instead of dealing with administration duties. It's also an advantage to hire a virtual assistant if you don't want a long-term or recurring operational cost. Since this is not a boss/employee relationship, the Virtual Assistant must partner with her clients in a big-term collaborative relationship providing administrative and personal support using today's technologies. The minute you start your business with the VAs, they will right away start the tasks you ask them to do.
Hiring a VA is really more practical and more cost-effective than hiring a "temp". They have no business other than satisfying their clients, and your assistant delights at any task assigned. Wherever you may be located, they can be of service to you. You only need to have an internet connection or a phone to contact them. Using phone, fax and email, VAs supports their clients without having to ever step foot inside the clients' offices. That's both the difference and the possibility in this new of management evolution. What the VA can't really do are things which actually need to be touched in your client's office, such as paper filing. But even if they can't be there personally, they are services they can efficiently do, and that would make you think, why not hire one?
