  1. IMPORTANT THINGS TO CONSIDER BEFORE HIRING YOUR FIRST VIRTUAL ASSISTANT

  2. There’s a common misconception that virtual assistants are some kind of “luxury” only affordable by the big companies to outsource projects that require less management but are considered an overhead.  Here are a few reasons why having a virtual assistant trumps having a physical assistant: • It takes time to find the right person. It needs to be someone who’s qualified and matches your personality, so you can have them around all day. • In-house employees cost you more than their salary! You have to frequently train them, pay for their insurance and when they’re having a bad day/week/month (which is totally reasonable) your business may suffer.

  3. You cannot afford someone full-time anyway but you’re overwhelmed with chores, tedious paperwork and a line of projects. • You are not willing to spend time on interviewing, hiring and training If you find yourself thinking those things, then you might want to seriously consider hiring a virtual assistant. The niche of virtual assistants for hire is growing rapidly over the last few years, as the Internet has us all interconnected so much, that it’s almost like having an in-house employee.

  4. Do you really need to hire a virtual assistant? The first question you need to ask yourself is: “What I need to hire a virtual assistant for?”. Get your priorities straight first by listing all those pressing issues you need to get out of your way. You need someone to answer emails, support your customers and handle everyday micro-tasks? This could be anything from handling your schedule of appointments to managing your small business’s social media. Which kind of virtual assistant mode will address your company’s needs properly? The two major virtual assistant options available out there are Individual virtual assistants and virtual assistant companies. The first option is suitable for working closely with a certain individual of your choosing. The second option is the best solution when you want to outsource specific tasks that don’t need your attention, like case studies, research or bookkeeping.

  5. Hire an individual assistant when: You are a new small business owner, who wants to focus on kickstarting your venture the best way you can. In order to do that, you need to get rid of small, repetitive duties and let an individual virtual assistant take care all of this for you. All those small, daunting tasks that consume your time and interfere with your creativity can be a thing of the past. By hiring a task-based individual virtual assistant you don’t have to micromanage them too. Hire a virtual assistants company if: VA companies can help you manage routine tasks, as well as, carry out entire projects for you! Therefore, they can contribute to your business’s productivity, boost its growth and avoid common mistakes that an individual, physical or virtual assistant would make due to lack of experience.

  6. The decision to hire a virtual administrative assistant or company has a binary meaning; your business is growing! FOR MORE INFORMATION VISIT US: www.topseovas.com
