Gone are the days of the traditional office-based PA

When you’re a small to medium business with a small budget for office support, do you often find you are working longer hours to get the work done?

Virtual Assistants are becoming more common in today’s workplace because they are affordable support without adding to your overheads.  They don’t require their own designated desk in your office, as they work independently in their own office, whilst supplying the same professional service that is expected from your business.

By engaging a Virtual Assistant, you can free up your time and check those items off of your to-do list for good.

Virtual assistants can do more than you think.

• Having trouble finding the time to research that list of potential clients? 
  Your VA can help you research the contacts and build your client database, all ready for you to take those sales leads.
• How about those social media posts you’ve been meaning to schedule each week?
  Come up with a content plan and with a regular hour each week, your VA can schedule your posts across your social media platforms and even generate a social media statistics report for you.
• Ever wondered how your competitors keep all their marketing tasks up to date?
  Well if you engage a VA for a few hours a month, they can run all your marketing campaigns for you and even update your website.
• Not got time to prepare for that important meeting?
  A VA can take your notes and produce your report, presentation, speech, and professional handout ready to impress your clients.
• Want to take that personal touch to your customer relationships?
  Having a VA handle your CRM system, they can send out reminders, confirmations and even those special thank you letters or Christmas cards to make your customers know you appreciate them.

With technology and the internet so adaptable and cooperative, your VA could be anywhere in the country or even the world, keeping your business running smoothly and helping you to show your clients that you run a tight ship when you’re actually running your business from your kitchen table.
