What is a Virtual Assistant?

A Virtual Assistant (VA) is a highly-trained {entrepreneur|business owner} and an independent {contractor|professional|specialist} - {a talented|a skilled|a gifted} {professional|expert} with strong administrative and organizational {skills|abilities} who partners with other {business owners|entrepreneur|company owner} and {individuals|people} to {provide|offer|supply} a myriad of high quality {ongoing|continuous}, collaborative-style {business|company|service|organisation} {support|assistance} services. Virtual Assistants {operate|run} {remotely|from another location} from their own {places of business|workplaces|business} and work {closely|carefully} with their {clients|customers} by {utilizing|using|making use of} today's {state of the art|cutting-edge} {technology|innovation} such as {internet|web}, {email|e-mail}, voice mail, fax, and online {collaboration|partnership|cooperation} tools to {deliver|provide} {a full|a complete} {range of|variety of|series of} {business|company|service|organisation} {support|assistance} service and to {communicate|interact} with their {clients|customers} and {meet|satisfy|fulfill} the growing {needs|requirements} of {businesses|companies|services|organisations} worldwide.

Virtual Assistants are {first|very first} and {foremost|primary} administrative {experts|professionals|specialists}.

A Virtual Assistant (VA) {could|might} be {many|numerous|lots of} things to your {business|company|service|organisation}: {a personal|an individual} or executive assistant; a secretary; a marketing executive; an administration {coordinator|organizer|planner}; a copywriter; an editor; a proofreader; {a bookkeeper|an accountant}; {a project|a job|a task} {manager|supervisor}; a public relations assistant. Your Virtual Assistant is {more likely|most likely} {a combination|a mix} of a few of these {professions|occupations}, all rolled into one {efficient|effective}, {loyal|faithful|devoted} and {dedicated|devoted} {professional|expert} VA

. Virtual Assistants {are in|remain in} {the business|business} of {offering|providing|using} {right hand|right-hand man} administrative {expertise|proficiency|knowledge|competence|know-how} in {helping|assisting} you to {succeed|be successful|prosper} in your {business|company|service|organisation}. The {irony|paradox} is you {may|might} {never|never ever} {meet|satisfy|fulfill} your VA as {odds|chances} are they are {nowhere|no place} near you! In an age where {technology|innovation} {has|has actually} made the world a much {smaller|smaller sized} {place|location} and where more {professionals|experts|specialists} are working from their {homes|houses} or in satellite {offices|workplaces}, the {former|previous} "Assistant" {has|has actually} {become|ended up being} "Virtual" and we are as close as your fingertips.

A Virtual Assistant is NOT {an employee|a worker|a staff member}. When you {work with|deal with} a VA you {should|ought to|must|need to} {look at|take a look at} it like {hiring|employing|working with} any other {type of|kind of} {contractor|professional|specialist}; {an accountant|an accounting professional}, {a website|a site} designer, or {a consultant|a specialist|an expert}.

The {biggest|most significant|greatest} {benefit|advantage} to the client/VA coupling is the relationship that's formed. A Virtual Assistant not {only|just} works for you {but|however} they {become|end up being} {an integral|an essential|an important} part of your {company|business} and will take pride in {becoming|ending up being} a part of it and see it {succeed|be successful|prosper}. Virtual Assistants are {business owners|entrepreneur|company owner} {and so|therefore} they {understand|comprehend} what {is important|is essential|is very important|is necessary} when it {comes to|concerns|pertains to} supporting your own {business|company|service|organisation} {needs|requirements}. A VA will {become|end up being} {a business|a company|a service|an organisation} partner - {a key|an essential|a crucial} {player|gamer} in the success of your {company|business}. A VA will {learn|discover|find out} {all about|everything about} your {business|company|service|organisation} and after {working together|collaborating|interacting} {on a regular basis|regularly} will {begin|start} to {anticipate|expect} your {needs|requirements}. A Virtual Assistant {offers|provides|uses} administrative {expertise|proficiency|knowledge|competence|know-how} in the context of {a continuous|a constant}, {rather than|instead of} {intermittent|periodic}, relationship with {clients|customers}.

{Because|Since|Due to the fact that} a VA is self-employed, they have {a vested interest|a beneficial interest} in the success of your {business|company|service|organisation}. The {better|much better} you {do with|finish with|make with} their {help|assistance|aid}, the more that {adds to|contributes to} the VA's success. There's {a real|a genuine} {incentive|reward} there to {help|assist} you {achieve|accomplish|attain} your {business|company|service|organisation} {goals|objectives}.

What if there was a more {cost-effective|affordable|economical|cost-efficient} and time {saving|conserving} {way|method} for you to get the {same|exact same|very same}, if not more {customized|personalized|tailored}, {flexible|versatile} and {personal|individual} level of service without {having to|needing to} bare the above {costs|expenses} at all? Virtual Assistants are freelancers who work from their own {office|workplace}, {using|utilizing} their own desk, phone, {computer|computer system} and {software|software application}. They pay their own {bills|expenses|costs}, {fund|money} their own superannuation, pay to keep their {skills|abilities} training {up to|as much as|approximately} date and they {organize|arrange} their own {taxation|tax} {responsibilities|obligations|duties}. No more {paying for|spending for} lunch breaks, idle chit chat, {quiet|peaceful} days, {sick|ill} days, {holidays|vacations}, and {personal|individual} {phone calls|telephone call|call}.
