Declare your independence by working with a professional VA

If you run your business from home and want to give that impression of looking bigger – then work with a Virtual PA. You don’t have to employ someone.

Having your own PA gives a little prestige and shows that you’re happy, confident and trusting when delegating work. Plus, working with a good PA lets you concentrate on other areas, letting them get on with sorting your daily/weekly activities and of course acting as that expert gate keeper.

Having a virtual PA on board gives you independence to move forward, having someone to rely on, take the load when something goes a miss, for example children being poorly, ideal situation whereby you can ask your virtual PA to cancel that important appointment with a client and reschedule while showing a professional, confident front.

Most sole traders/entrepreneurs are so busy wearing 20 different hats, tying themselves in knots and forget the purpose of ‘enjoying life’ – isn’t that why you decided to go self employed anyway…

Having the independence to go and do – leaves you relaxed and happy that your virtual PA is fielding your emails, answering them on your behalf, building relationships with clients, suppliers, business colleagues, booking your appointments and dealing with letters and reports.

If you’ve already got a busy family life and spend your time driving from meeting to meeting – the last thing you want to do on your return home is type up your notes from the day’s event before you forget what was said.

Find time in your day to speak with your PA and give them the information verbally over the phone. They’re most likely far quicker than you at typing and setting the letter/report out to look good.

If you are in a new business or have been going a good while, give yourself and someone else some independence. Delegate and use professional support offered by the virtual assistant.

Struggling companies need to learn about the benefits of VA

There are plenty of businesses out there yet to recover and seriously need a helping hand from a professional Virtual Assistant – an hourly rate admin service which will greatly benefit the business.

Businesses need to learn and understand about Virtual Assistance, about how they can help themselves when it comes to administration staff.

There is a massive win win solution to this scenario.

If you’re struggling and need to make your admin staff redundant, why not train your existing admin staff to become Freelance Virtual Assistants and let them supply the support back to you on an hourly rate.

The benefits are common sense.

The business will get:
• Continuity of support from a Virtual Assistant who knows the business already
• A choice of how many hours support required per week/month that the business can afford to spend
• Relief knowing you’re helping the redundant member of staff move onto another career
• No massive monthly wage bill to pay each time and worry about
• Virtual Assistants take care of their own NI contributions, tax, pension etc
• You no longer have to provide office space, computer equipment and refreshments, Virtual Assistants usually work from home.

Those businesses that make use of a Virtual Assistant will bounce back and experience growth and will be in a far better position. Having the flexibility to retain the Virtual Assistance Services as and when required will be a huge bonus to the business.

Think positive and optimistic at all times.
