What is a Virtual Assistant?
This is a question that a Virtual Assistant is often asked when they mention what they do for a living.
It is quite surprising how very few business owners actually understand the level of support a Virtual Assistant can offer, and how much value they can bring to a growing business.
A Virtual Assistant (VA) is a highly-skilled, independent contractor who works on a remote basis using modern technology to complete essential work that is not generating any income for a business. Passing on such duties to a Virtual Assistant enables individuals to focus on the core money-making tasks in their business, allowing them to concentrate on what they do best, as well as giving them back their valuable time to do what they enjoy the most.
While it is easy to dismiss the idea of working with as Virtual Assistant as expensive, it can in fact be a cost-effective solution for when you need some flexible assistance. Using this option means that you are not tied to employing an in-house administrator. In other words, a Virtual Assistant is an extension of your office, but without the overheads or HR headaches!
A traditional Virtual Assistant or Virtual PA provides support of an administrative nature to business owners, sole traders, consultants or very busy individuals with a chaotic schedule. Today the term Virtual Assistant can relate to a broad range of freelance service providers including graphic designers, content writers and social media managers. On this basis, the role of traditional Virtual Assistants has evolved, meaning they have a more diverse skill set to offer to their clients.
Being business owner’s themselves, Virtual Assistants will understand the challenges you face with running a business and will be pro-active in keeping you or your business on track. They will do this by offering ideas and solutions to help you to achieve your goals and find the success that you originally set out to achieve. With this in mind, a Virtual Assistant is a valuable asset to your business.
