Virtual Assistants are a Solution to Many Business Owners

September 22nd 2005

Business can save time and money by using Virtual Assistants for all secretarial / administrative assistant tasks. Virtual Assistants are highly skilled and trained, Independent Contractors working from their own offices, often partnering with other businesses to help them succeed.

VA's have their own office equipment, necessary software, detailed skills set, and specific training to handle office management duties and serve as virtual office administrators to their clients.

Virtual Office Administration can be defined by some business owners as total secretarial support that includes everything from typing letters and answering phones to web design, accounting services, and database management. VAs can be the total clerical support from Monday through Friday taking care of your day-to- day tasks so you and your in-house staff have more time to work on the bottom line and grow your business. Fortunately, VAs provide their own office equipment at home so there’s no need for extra office or desk space for a temporary secretary on site.

Utilizing a Virtual Assistant, like Nancy Brown, in an outsourcing capacity will not only save you paying an additional staff, in-house member's salary or a temporary's pay check but also a savings of benefits such as health insurance, time off, and vacation.

Diana Ennen, of Virtual Word Publishing, Inc., utilizes the assistance of Nancy Brown and her VA Business, Virtual Gal Friday to assist her in her website development and also additional publicity and press release submissions for Ennen’s clients. Ennen states, “My website and profits have increased substantially once I started using Nancy’s services. My website gets better search engine results. My clients like the look and feel of my site better, and all around I have finally achieved the results I wanted for my business. It’s also been beneficial to partner with Nancy in order to get more press for my clients and they too have seen dramatic results. If you want to grow you business, hiring a Virtual Assistant is the way to do it.”

A VA is the perfect solution for all businesses, large or small. Virtual Assistants are working along side you but not underfoot or taking up your office space. A silent partner in your business. The Assistants are also more readily available during after-hours or weekend hours for that last minute project or emergency travel arrangements.

Nancy Brown notes, "By offering Virtual Office Administration services we are able to assist businesses with daily operations or one time projects. We are able to work with multiple clients in any given day."   Virtual assistants cover vacations, pregnancy leaves, associates out sick or out on workmen's comp and more importantly, the busy executive who wants to grow their business.

Nancy Brown also states "Every VA has a different skill set that they can bring to your business, it is possible to have a team like The Virtual Office Team, working with your business for a flat fee by monthly retainer or per project no matter if it is for a hour or a day or a lifetime."
