I have been telling everyone I know about my decision to hire a Virtual Assistant. It’s an investment that has already more than paid back what it costs. I think it’s an option more people should be considering.
My assistant, Sonia, has only been my Assistant for about three months. In that time, I have seen several benefits to her virtual presence. Here are the 4 biggest ones:
- No overhead costs: As someone who runs a business from home, I don’t have space for an Assistant. My Virtual Assistant is set up with everything she needs from her base in the Philippines. I don’t have to provide her with a desk, phone or internet connection. Plus, not having an extra person around lets me spend the whole day in my pyjamas.
- Help 24/7: My business is an international one and involves dealing with clients all over the world in every time zone. As much as I would like to personally assist them myself I know this isn’t possible. With Sonia working while I sleep, I know there’s always someone available to assist my clients.
- Specialised Skills: Virtual Assistants do more than just answer the phone with a smile. Whatever skill you need in your assistant can be found through companies like Virtual Assistants Australia. As someone who struggles to keep up to date on bookkeeping, Sonia has been a lifesaver. And because of their thorough vetting process, I know that she’s qualified to handle my finances.
- Constant Updates: It’s natural to feel anxious about entrusting your business to a complete stranger on the other side of the world. Virtual Assistants Australia, who set me up with Sonia, has even employed a special monitoring system that lets me view her screen activity. You don’t get more hands-on than that!
My business has seen a surge in productivity now that Sonia has come on board as my Virtual Assistant. The value she adds to my operations is immeasurable. If you would like to find out more about hiring your own Virtual Assistant, Contact Virtual Assistants Australia today.
