Let’s face it – when you are a small business entrepreneur, you probably don’t have a whole lot of working space for an assistant. You might not even have a set number of hours per week to offer to an assistant. Such conditions are not great for a “live” assistant – but you still need some help! That is where a great virtual assistant can come in handy.
A Virtual Assistant (VA) is an entrepreneur just like you. VA’s work from their homes, and provide administrative, technical, and creative services. Lots of times, VA’s have several businesses that they support, so they are constantly in motion and on top of their work. This is of benefit to you because they will:
- Work efficiently
- Not need to work a set number of hours per week
Other benefits to hiring a VA are that you will not need to provide them with health benefits or sick/vacation leave. You don’t have to worry about your employees’ commutes and you can hand-off work tasks at off-peak work hours.
A highly successful VA firm rests in the hands of one of our very own Wild WE board members – Lisa Forbes, founder and CEO of Perfect Solutions. Lisa has years of experience working in Corporate America under her belt, and uses that experience to oversees a highly capable staff that can meet all of your VA needs, should you choose to hire one (I personally utilize Lisa’s services and have never, EVER been disappointed!)
Some services that a VA can offer you include: appointment setting/calendar management, airline/hotel reservations, bookkeeping bulk mailings, bulletin board/forum management, conference call management and setup, contact and database management, data entry, and many, many other tasks!!
