Business Is Booming...For VAs

The growing field and business/personal use of a Virtual Assistant.

Virtual Assistants, affectionately called VAs win big in light of most businesses reporting a great deal of loss. Companies are scaling back more than ever. Administrative personnel are one of the first to get a pink slip from small businesses yet Administrative tasks are one of the most important within every organization", states JaNohn Bowen of Bowen Select Services. Several VA s attest to business taking off in the second quarter by performing minor dictation all the way to sales proposals. Whatever their niche, they have been able to find a business with a need.

In the past year there has been an overwhelming growth within the VA industry. Call them consultants if you will, performing duties that range from Word Processing to Business Plan Design and Accounting. Charging by the hour or per project is just what small and medium businesses need. The pay-as-you go style is attractive as well as paying only for the time spent on the project. Added incentives for business owners are high quality products, fast turn around and last, but not least, not having to deal with payroll, employee taxes, et cetera.

Bowen Select Services (BSS) is based upon the premise that small and large businesses alike can become overwhelmed with daily operations, client and employee requests. A business should be able to 'select a task(s) and outsource it to someone that may be more qualified in that area.

International Virtual Assistants Organization (www.ivaa.org) is an Internationally recognized organization, which BSS is a part. When looking for a VA, make IVAA your first stop. Via their RFP system or database search you are bound to find a VA based upon geographical location or expertise. As the IVAA slogan states, Virtual Assistant, Got One? Get One!"
