Many business still don’t even know what Virtual Assistants are and just how cost effective they can be. In fact, Virtual Assistants are one of the most affordable contract professionals you can use for outsourcing!

One of the benefits the Virtual Assistant can provide is a cost effective way of obtaining high level administrative services. At first glance their prices may seem high – but think of the services you are receiving – and the overhead you are saving!

Let us take a look:

1.  Remember all of the additional costs you will pay for when hiring a full-time employee. In addition to the hourly wage you pay, you must also pay for taxes, benefits, office and equipment costs as well as vacation and sick time. A Virtual Assistant covers all of his/her own expenses.

2.  An hourly employee is paid whether they are working or not. During slow times or when they are sick, you still pay. A virtual assistant only charges for time actually worked.

3.  Virtual Assistants are highly skilled with many years of high level administrative experience. They work quickly and efficiently while requiring little or no training. An efficient assistant will take less time to produce much higher quality work than a less skilled assistant who will work for a lower hourly wage.

4. Businesses who use the services of Virtual Assistants have claimed as much as a 50% increase in the productivity of their business. A good VA can save you valuable time by scheduling meetings, responding to emails, posting to social media, planning events and travel arrangements and much more.

5. Many entrepreneurs and small business owners spend too much of their time on administrative tasks which leaves them less time to do the things they need to build their businesses. By outsourcing these tasks, you can concentrate on the tasks needed to grow your business.
