What is a Virtual Personal Assistant?
In the traditional office, they are known as Administrative Assistants, but in the online community, they are known as (VAs) Virtual Assistants. VA's work from their own offices, use their own equipment, and provide services to businesses, entrepreneurs, executives, or busy people. Assignments are usually communicated through e-mail, phone, fax, or mail.
Whatever the project, information is easily transferred between client and Virtual Assistant.
VA's are in fact a service and therefore the people that you approach do not become an employee of your business: they are self-employed or an employee of a VA service offered by a company.
In general, a VA will be well educated, be hard working, have a range of skills, and have experience for using a wide range of computer software. This is ensured to allow the VA to meet any of your business requirements.
Most VA's will have previously worked as a secretary, personal assistant, clerk, etc and it is more than likely that they have worked at the highest level in their particular field of work.
What Can Virtual Assistants Do For Me?
VA's can do anything that an administrative assistant can do (except for making coffee and licking stamps!). The examples below are only a small proportion of the duties performed by a VA: they can provide an extensive range of assistance that covers just about anything that you may require.
• Word Processing - letters, business plans, invoices, contracts, manuals, etc
• Telephone Assistance - answering, making out-going calls, etc
• Billing & Collection Service - pay your bills, collect money owed to you, etc
• Database Assistance - managing mailing lists, customer accounts, etc
• Accounting - bookkeeping, reports, bank account management, etc
• Event Management - arrange meetings/conferences, book hotels/flights, etc
• Mail Management - sort and reply to mail and e-mails
• Research Assistance - research projects and report back findings
• Web Site Maintenance - update search engine bids, web page changes, etc
Benefits of Using a Virtual Assistant
There are many reasons why using a VA is beneficial. Here are just a few of them:
• They are orientated to meet your personal needs
• They treat your business as if it was their own i.e. become very involved
• Minimal training required
• You only pay for their time and materials used: you are not liable to pay tax, national insurance costs and benefits, as you would when taking on a new employee
• You have the peace of mind that any deadlines will be met
• You will not have to make room in the office for an extra person, or relocate completely if it was necessary!
