Benefits of working with a VA
A virtual assistant offers several
advantages over a paid
employee. When you hire a virtual assistant you get all the benefits of
outsourcing and no employee tax or benefits issues. VAs are highly
skilled and experienced administrative professionals, who can help your
office run more smoothly.
Feel the world lifted off your shoulders ...
remember the excitement that you felt
when you first started your business?
-
More time - VAs work with you to cover your workload so you can enjoy
your spare time; no more burning the midnight oil!
- More money - by eliminating routine tasks, you can concentrate your
efforts on obtaining more clients and keeping current clients satisfied to
increase your cash flow (and let's face it, you're not trained to do this!)
- You don't have to make room for
a VA! - Like working solo? A lot of people get more done by working alone in
their own space; this means less interruptions and best of all ... no sharing!
- No overhead - most VAs work
out of their home, which means you don't have to supply phones, computers,
desks and chairs, copiers, scanners, (you get the idea); there are no utility
costs or zoning requirements for you to worry about
- Get what you pay for - get billed for 'real time'- not coffee breaks or chatting around the water
cooler, VAs bill only for time worked on your projects
- Commitment - VAs are trained and highly skilled to do their job; your success is
their success!
- No personnel issues - VAs
make their own schedule, take care of their own taxes, insurance, and benefits;
there are no labor laws to contend with; no need to learn, administer, or
comply with the Rehabilitation Act, Pregnancy Discrimination Act, Age
Discrimination Act, Civil Rights Acts of 1964 and 1991, Americans with
Disabilities Act, Equal Pay Act, Fair Labor Standards Act, Family Medical Leave
Act, Occupational Safety and Health Act, Immigration Reform and Control Act,
Federal Unemployment Tax Act, Employee Retirement Income Security Act, Health
Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, or Consolidated Omnibus Budget
Reconciliation Act - WOW!
- Goal- not project-oriented; VAs look at the 'big picture'; every
project that we complete just puts us a step closer to achieving your goals
- New perspective - bouncing ideas off someone who is dedicated to your
business success often leads to more efficient and beneficial ways of doing things
- Efficiency - now, your
to-do list has someone to-do it; you have more time to do what you need
done!
- Networking - REVA online belongs
to professional organizations such as AssistU, PREVA, IVAA, and NAWBO and our network of experts is now your list of experts;
by collaborating with others in our field on a daily
basis, we are able to constantly contribute new ways to help you run the
administrative side of your business more efficiently
- Feedback - VAs grow by
learning, so give us feedback; let us know how we are doing, as we value an
honest opinion to improve our services and our level of client satisfaction
Still
want more proof that VAs are worth their weight in gold?
