| Who
needs a Virtual Assistant?
Virtually (pun intended!) any small business owner can immediately benefit
from partnering with a VA. Some professions that work remarkably well
with VAs include: coaches, consultants, authors and speakers.
How does it work?
Today's technology eliminates the geographical barriers that are all too
common in the corporate world. Working virtually via phone, fax, email
and the Internet makes it possible to work as closely with a VA as if
he or she were in the same room with you. This means that no matter where
you are located, a VA can provide you with the support you need. The possibilities
are endless!
Why does it work?
The relationship you have with a VA is not about piecework
or project work. In that scenario, there is no chance for the relationship
to develop and grow. As I work with you on a regular basis, I am able
to get to know your business, anticipate your needs, make suggestions,
help solve problems, and provide you with resources.
Are you ready to work with a VA?
Whether you need 10 hours, 15 hours or 20 hours of support each month,
I am ready to help you with those administrative and personal tasks that
you just don't have time to deal with. What tasks can you think of that
don't need your personal attention, and can easily be handled by someone
else? Wouldn't you like to spend your time taking care of the most important
aspects of your business, or enjoy more time with family and friends?
For more information see "An
Interview with Cindy" or contact me
for a complimentary consultation, with absolutely no obligation. You may
discover that I can provide the time-saving assistance you've been looking
for! Check out the benefits (below) of working with a VA.
Benefits of working with a VA
Simply stated, working with a VA is not only convenient, but it saves
you money. If you hire an employee, the real cost to you is 2 to 2 ½
times that person's salary. This is due to several factors, such as:
- Taxes (social security, FICA, unemployment)
- Worker's Compensation Insurance
- Medical, dental, and vision care benefits
- Vacation, sick time, and holidays
- 401K or other retirement plan
In contrast, working with a VA is much simpler. Benefits
to you include:
- No need for extra office space, equipment, furniture or supplies
- You only pay for time that is used, not for breaks or other interruptions
- A VA is an Independent Contractor, so there are no employee complications
- You will have extra time to focus on more important business matters,
or to spend with family and friends
- A VA can be a sounding board or confidante should you need one
- You are able to keep on track and on schedule with projects, meetings,
etc.
- You will be less overwhelmed, feel less stress and have more peace
of mind
- You will grow your business faster and reach your goals sooner
- You only need to write one check each month to your VA... no need
to administer weekly or bi-weekly payroll checks
"I
just wanted to thank you for all your VA help this year. You have really
helped me pull my business and personal life out of chaos. It is quite
calming to know that I can contact you when the To Do List gets overwhelming.
Thanks again!"
