What is an online Secretary or Virtual Assistant?
With the advancement of technology and the ongoing growth of the
communications industry, a whole new network of support services for business
has evolved. One such service is that of the 'Virtual Assistant' or, as they
are more traditionally known, on-line Secretarial and Administrative
Assistants.
The Virtual Assistant is not an employee, and as such is not paid holiday
pay or sick leave. There is no requirement that you pay superannuation or
workers' compensation levy. You pay only for the time it takes your Virtual
Assistant to complete the work, plus any expenses incurred. That may be once or
twice per week or per month. It may be short but regular assignments such as a
design, production and dissemination of a quarterly newsletter. There are also
those times when you have a deadline to meet and there are not enough hands on
deck!
When would I need a Virtual Assistant?
You are a businessman, lawyer, doctor, or a busy executive, and it's likely that you will recognise your business or professional life in one of the three
scenarios below:
Scenario 1
Is your secretary about to lose her sanity? Could she use some assistance,
perhaps a part time assistant? As your business grows, you are finding that
your secretarial and clerical staff can't keep up with your new successes. Your
secretary is stretched to the limit, but you 're not ready to employ another
staff member. Not even on a part time basis. Besides, you don't have spare office
space or a spare desk, not to mention that you'll probably need to purchase yet
another computer! Many businesses, small and large, have the very real problem
of not being able to continue to deliver their service or product whilst
maintaining standards of quality, customer service and satisfaction, simply
because they don't have adequate secretarial and administrative support. We may
be your solution! All you need to do is make the call, tell us what needs to be
done, and we'll see to it that your business continues to thrive without adding
to your payroll, superannuation, workers compensation or holiday and sick
leave, and, we'll do it at our office, virtually!
Scenario 2
You're so good at your job you've managed to maintain and even top the
projected budget set for you. You've been provided with a car, a mobile phone
and a laptop computer. Sounds perfect. What you're not so good at is filing
that weekly or monthly report for the boss (you really don't type that well,
and it takes you all weekend). Updating your database of clients and their
needs means more time at the keyboard ... and who has time to send emails? Our
solution to your situation is simple. Send us your dictated report by mail or fax. We'll type
it up and email it back to you. Why not continue to do what
you do best ... see your clients and close the deals. Let your Personal Virtual
Assistant do what s/he does best. Now you have time to enjoy weekends with your
family and friends.
Scenario 3
In the current economic climate you must work harder and longer to produce
the results you were enjoying a year or two ago. Like many before you, you've
been forced to downsize. Your careful evaluation of resources means that you've
moved into smaller premises and had to let several of your staff members go.
How can you maintain your standards and work harder and longer with less staff?
You need more!! Where are you going to put them? How will you afford to pay
them? Call your Personal Virtual Assistant. Let your PVA do the work in her/his
office and pay her/him only for her /his time and expenses necessarily incurred. Your
Personal Virtual Assistant has the experience, skills, abilities, and resources
to do the job.
Do Virtual Assistants work only on line?
The Virtual Assistant is a professional whose main function is to provide a
solution to your needs when you find yourself in a situation such as those
described above.
Before we became Virtual Assistants, we worked for various
businesses in the offices of those businesses. We have the skills,
abilities and experience to work for you "On-Site" if you have the
need. The reasons could be many: your front desk reception needs a physical
presence, you have a large and busy switchboard or your Personal Secretary is
unavailable or about to leave. When staff members are on annual or sick leave
or you have lost a staff member, what do you do?
It's possible, that whilst you're in this process, you'll find that the job
you're trying to fill is one that could easily be done.
Finally, if you are a businessman with lots of ideas but does not know how to compose a professional looking document or letter. Not to worry. Send us your scriblings/manuscrips by e-mail or fax, and we will put it together in a presentable manner, as you like it, and send it back to you by e-mail or fax. You can then print it on your letter-head or the desired stationery of your choice.
If you find yourself in one of these situations, in some cases a VA may agree
to "fill in" at your business site whilst you are in the process of
advertising, interviewing and choosing a suitable candidate for a newly created
position or for a replacement of a staff member who is about to move on.
We will be delighted to offer you a special discount on our next assignment from yourselves.
