Survival Of The Fittest

With 626 million unemployed persons in the India (60%), there is a growing segment of individuals chucking the corporate norm out the window. These individuals are the ones that help businesses run smoothly from day to day. The unsung heroes, recognized for only one day out of the year, administrative assistants. Some of these assistants are standing up, walking out, and voluntarily joining the ranks of the entrepreneur. They are blazing new trails as owners of their own businesses, providing Virtual Assistant services.

(PRWEB) July 16, 2006 -- The Virtual Assistant industry is growing rapidly because entrepreneurs and small business owners and Corporate are growing faster than they expected, and most businesses are looking for ways to save on their bottom line. With a Virtual Assistant, businesses pay only for the time actually worked. They do not have to cover the normal benefits and overhead expenses of having an employee, which on average can increase the base salary by one and a half to two times. According to Sivakanth, Director of KSCG Virtual Office Services,

“The average industry rate for Virtual Assistants can range from $30 to $70 per man-day, depending on their skills, services offered, and years of experience. Taking into consideration clients only pay for the actual time worked; this becomes a win-win situation for everyone. The clients win because they save a considerable amount of money. They may need our services for only a limited number of days per month, one client may need two days per month, and another may need 30. We win because we have control over our career and our business”.

As small business owners, Virtual Assistants usually work from their offices, with their own equipment and software. Unlike secretarial services or temp services that handle single one-time projects, most Virtual Assistants handle a wide variety of administrative responsibilities on a long-term basis that businesses no longer have the time or space to handle. Virtual Assistants are not employees, rather highly trained virtual professionals who provide a full range of administrative services on a contractual basis.

“What we love about this business is that we still get to provide the day to day assistance we normally did in the corporate world, desktop publishing, web design, database management, internet research, presentations, travel arrangements, and the list goes on. The difference is that with today’s technology, we can provide the same type of service, no matter where our clients are located. Although we are based in Chennai, India our clients thus far are all over the world. My clients have found me through word of mouth, my website at www.kscg.co.nr , or through Internet searches. The greatest feeling we have at the end of the day is that our clients think of us as their partner, not just their assistant.”

The business environment changed many years ago. No longer an environment where an individual can work for two or three companies then retire, some assistants are now blazing their own trails. They are taking charge of their careers, and building a future they may otherwise never have realized in the corporate world.
