Virtual Assistants - Taking the Business World by Storm
Those who have a computer or have access to the Internet have undoubtedly come across the latest buzz word out there: "Virtual!" There are virtual tours, virtual reality, virtual memory… and there's the Virtual Assistant (VA) or Virtual Professional.
(PRWEB) November 9, 2007 -- Virtual Assistants have recently been featured in the news ; take for example, NBC Today Show's recent feature story on MSNBC: http://video.msn.com/?mkt=en-us&brand=msnbc&fg=&vid=fda5aec6-5250-43c2-936f-dfac1ec2033d&from=00
Wikipedia describes a Virtual Assistant as "an independent contractor providing virtual assistance in the form of administrative, technical, and sometimes creative services to clients, usually to other independent entrepreneurs and solo and small business practices, such as that of a lawyer or realtor."
Although they handle vital administrative, clerical and office management tasks, a virtual assistant's scope of expertise spans far beyond secretarial or office assistant duties. The list of services that a VA offers is quite extensive. VA's offer services like association management, event planning, web site design, desktop publishing, office management, expense report, and ad writing; just to name a few. Also, the possibilities are endless when it comes to who can use a Virtual Assistant. Virtual Assistants' services are not limited to typical businesses as such. Authors, business coaches, doctors, Chiropractors, professional speakers, and consultants can all take advantage of the VA expertise.
As the business world becomes more "mobile" and tech savvy, hiring a Virtual Assistant has not only become popular but also very appealing to most clients, large and small. It has become quite the norm to see someone working away on a laptop at your favorite Starbucks or cafe. The traditional "office" is fast becoming extinct, as is the traditional deskbound administrative assistant. From anywhere in the world, a Virtual Assistant can provide superior services and uses the most valuable, cost-effective, and time saving technology available. These services are done in the VA's home office in a timely and professional manner, and delivered to the client via email, fax, courier, or snail mail.
No commute time
There is no expense for benefits, taxes, holiday pay, or office space because VA's work out of our own home offices, and use their own office equipment. The VA only gets paid for the hours they work and the projects they complete. Another important fact is, because VA's work from home, your business becomes more environment-friendly due to less exhaust fumes and a reduction in the use of fossil fuels. Most people drive for about 1/2 to 2 hours per day, to and from work. Using a VA makes for a significant reduction in air pollution and stress levels.
Family-friendly
Considering all of the above, it is clear that the Virtual Assistant concept is very fulfilling, rewarding, and cost effective for both the client and the Virtual Professional. Because of the cost-effectiveness and time saving in this venture, both parties can enjoy the freedom of spending more quality time with their families and also enjoy the freedom to pursue their dreams and hobbies.
