Those who choose to work with a Virutal Assistant want to outsource, need an assistant, just need a helping hand, they want a cost effective way to run their business & cut expenses, they want to manage their business or projects better, they want to focus on other things etc..... 2.Does a Virtual Assistant become my employee? No, You Do Not Gain An Employee. You WORK WITH a Virtual Assistant, you HIRE AN EMPLOYEE. I AM NOT YOUR EMPLOYEE BUT I AM YOUR BUSINESS PARTNER. You gain a partnership in business & a cost-effective way to run your business . A Virtual Assistant is a business owner & independent contractor. If you can't see a Virtual Assistant as your partner in business then you need an employee because a Virtual Assistant is not your employee. If you need a boss & employee relationship then you need an in-house employee not a Virtual Assistant. By working with a Virtual Assistant you gain a partner in your business or projects, a better way to manage or maintain your business or projects, a more balanced life, the ability to focus on the more important things that you want to do, delegate tasks to a Virtual Assistant that you don't have time to do to, focus more on your clients/ business/ family etc........ 3. Why should I WORK WITH a Virtual Assistant and not HIRE a regular in-house employee or a temp ? A Virtual Assistant becomes your partner who is an extension to your business or projects, someone who you can share business ideas with or discuss. You can hire a Virtual Assistant as needed, you don't have to worry about high employee turnover, eliminate the costs of finding, hiring & maintaining a regular employee. Most in-house employees are looking for the next best thing, a better job or not alot of interest in your company. See, a Virtual Assistant chooses to work with you just as well as you choose to work with them. A Virtual Assistant takes a vested interest in your business or projects not just looking for another job. A Virtual Assistant already has a career, they want to see you succeed in business, for your projects to run efficiently and want to be that helping hand when you need one. 4. Does a Virtual Assistant cost more than a regular in-house employee or a temp ? No, it costs far less to work with a Virtual Assistant than a regular employee. When you hire a regular in-house employee you have to pay for a lot of overhead expenses, their salary, on top of that other benefits, taxes, office space, equipment, comply with government regulations and more. With a Virtual Assistant you only pay for the work that they do not on coffee breaks, office space, wasted time on the job or vacations etc... Virtual Assistants cost less than a regular employee. Virtual Assistants offer pay-as-you go plans, hourly plans or retainer plans. The prices of a Virtual Assistant may seem high but they are not, so remember Virtual Assistants are independent business owners and don't incure the overhead costs of an employee or a temp. When you add it all up hiring a regular employee is double the amount of hiring a Virtual Assistant because of their salary plus other expenses to hire and maintain an in-house employee. |
