  • 5 Reasons to Utilize a Virtual Assistant

By Mary Cantando3 Comments

I’ve got the best Virtual Assistant (VA) in the state of North Carolina, and I’m not going to share her name with you because I don’t want you to steal her! Oh, I could find an intern or someone else cheaper than Gaynor Fries (oops!) but I love the way I can just throw things over the fence to her and take them off my list.

Even if you can’t find a Gaynor Fries (double oops!) here are five reasons it makes sense to hire a VA.

5 Reasons to Utilize a Virtual Assistant

1. S/he is already an expert on most of the tools and systems you use, and if not, will learn on her own time.

This means none of your time is wasted teaching, training, teaching, training.

2. S/he has her own supplies and equipment.

You have no upfront overhead costs to engage her.

3. S/he wants to keep you as a client, and knows the key to that is delivering what you need, when you need it.

Rather than making excuses, she just gets it done.

4.  S/he owns her own business, so is considered a contractor for legal and tax purposes.

This eliminates the risk and overhead costs of hiring an employee.

5. S/he works for other clients in addition to you.

This means she can apply what’s she’s learned working on their projects to your work as well.

Whether your business has been, or is close to being, launched and requires ‘start up’ assistance, or you find you are running yourself thin by taking on work that can be handled by an assistant; the benefits of hiring a Virtual Assistant, especially a Virtual Assistant who provides full business support, are endless.

Thanks for the information…I never considered hiring a virtual assistant until reading your article. How did you go about finding a virtual assistant?

Just out of curiosity, what types of projects (generally) does your virtual assistant do for you?

Have your say.  Please be nice and stay on topic

Five Beliefs That Will Take You Far in Life

I’ve often been referred to as a “Pollyanna” because I really believe that no matter what you’ve got going on in your life, you can make it truly great. I’m not saying that it is easy to make it great, but if you make that decision and are willing to work on the changes required, I believe that anyone can have a great life.

Here are five concepts that can move you in that direction.
