Having a virtual assistant is the new way of doing business, you are thinking practically.
Advantages and Disadvantages work either side the way you initiate the process.

As you have asked for the advantages there is surely a list to it, its as follows:
1) Healthy to your pocket, as you hire a virtual assistant for the duration you actually need them for.

Better business systems for more time and money

Thats a great question, people can get quite confused as to what a Virtual Assistant (VA) does, and how they can help them in their business.

So, firstly, virtual assistants can be a generalists; general admin including email and diary management, travel arrangements etc, or they can be specialists; such as social media management, copywriting, book-keeping, or a VA specialising in particular software(s) etc.

So the ways that they can help you with productivity is either by doing the tasks that you aren’t good at; those tasks that takes you a week to do, like setting up email marketing from scratch, or developing a basic website, can take a VA with the right skillset much less time.

Another way is by doing the tasks that you don’t like doing, especially if you find them mundane, like data entry for example, so that you can focus your efforts on not just the things you like doing, but also on the tasks that bring you in clients.

If you need help in deciding what tasks you want to delegate, or indeed any other tips on delegating to be more productive, then don’t hesitant to give me a call!

From calendar management, to emails, to answering phones, a Virtual Assistant’s scope of work can almost vary as much as the industries that hire them, like marketing, web design, bookkeeping, and other services. A Virtual Assistant empowers you to delegate what you cannot keep managing yourself no matter what industry you are in. Virtual Assistants will allow you to scale operations – and with less risk. Since growth requires capital and Virtual Assistants are a comparatively cost-effective alternative to IRL employees you can substantially reduce your costs and instead invest your money back into your business.
A Virtual Assistance can schedule posts, so you do not have to. Your Virtual Assistant can sort through your leads, determine their value, and add those potential customers to your database. Your Virtual Assistant can handle content creation – from market research to publishing – to drive more traffic to your site. This one often comes as surprise to many small business owners, but it is true – yes, your Virtual Assistant can help with your bookkeeping. Assistant can handle your light bookkeeping needs, like expense reporting and invoice generation.
A Virtual Assistant can shore up your processes and streamline your operations. Further, they can monitor your markets, listen for conversations on social media about your brand or industry, watch what competitors are doing and saying, and collate feedback from current clients. The longer a Virtual Assistant works with you the more ideas they will come up with to help streamline your job.
