The following post will show you how cost effective it can be to hire a virtual assistant versus hiring a full time in-house employee.

What is a Virtual Assistant?

On the other hand, we should understand that…

An increase in productivity means more prospects.

And more prospects lead in more money. This is why smart business owners hire virtual assistants. VAs don’t just boost your productivity, but they also help your business grow in a lot of ways.

1. Re-direct your savings to other parts of the business

One of the top reasons people hire online is to reduce their business overhead cost. A VA costs less compared to a regular or full-time employee, because the business owner does not pay benefits. Not to mention office space and equipment!

 In 2015, reports show that hiring virtual executive assistants can save businesses as much as 40% in expenses. How? Well, you don’t need to allocate funds for the essentials. A VA covers his or her own expenses for Internet bandwidth, power, and rent.

These savings can then be re-channeled to other aspects of your business, such as an online marketing campaign, or an upgrade to your operating systems.

2. Bring in reliable manpower

 As your business volume begins to increase, but slows down turnaround time for outputs and deliverables, it may be time to start scaling up.

Employees are the foundation of a business. When the time comes you need to add more manpower, go for home-based staff. VAs will not only save you money but keep your business flexible as well.

• Assign the VAs to shifts that require greater attention
• You spend less time training because they already have the experience and competency level to get the job done
• Choose to go from one VA to another once a particular task is done and you need another skill set

3. No training required

Except for tasks that require specific type of training, a home-based staff is generally experienced and savvy when it comes to common tasks. They know what tools to use and how to setup a system that is workable for both of you.

Training up new employees can mean time and money down the drain. VA agencies have selected remote workers for their experience and skills. You just need to discuss the end result that you want and the VA will start right away.

Look for companies that have a VA replacement guarantee. They will provide you fully managed staff and will replace your current VA if he or she does not perform to your expectations.

4. Organize your business and delegate minor tasks

A common weakness of most entrepreneurs is their lack of organizational skill.
It’s just that…

There’s so much work to do that the need to organize is often overlooked.

Yet, one must remember that organizing things leads to greater productivity.

Organizational skills and traits are conveniently one of the VA’s strengths. If you find yourself too stressed out and don’t even have time to organize your business, then maybe it’s time for some help.

A online employee can setup a virtual workplace where everything about project management is properly shared and tracked from start to finish. Thus, it makes it easier to delegate work, collaborate, and track performance with your virtual team.

The following are some of the minor tasks you can delegate to your remote employee:

• Inbound/outbound phone calls
• Replying/filtering email
• Customer support
• Calendar management
• Appointment setting
• CRM updates
• Ad posting
• Payroll preparation
• Bookkeeping

5. Benefit from technical or specialized skills

We all have our weaknesses. You are good at running the whole shebang but stuff like website update or social media management seems too confusing for you.

Fortunately, virtual employees keep up to date with the trends in the online marketing world. Plus, what might take you all day to work out could probably be just a two-hour task for a VA.

Personal or administrative assistant services are most requested but you can also find VAs with more specialized and technical skills. They accommodate demand across a wide scope of services such as:

• Digital marketing
• Website design and development
• Domain registration and website hosting
• SEO
• Real Estate
• Content management
• Blogging
• Audio/video transcription
• Accounting/bookkeeping
• Research

There are tons of possibilities for building a team of virtual assistants to cover different areas of your business. If properly utilized, a VA can become one of the greatest assets in growing your business, guaranteed to lower your business costs without compromising quality and productivity.

However, as a startup you often don’t have the space or resources available to hire that extra employee you badly need. That’s why the number of small business owners using a virtual assistant (VA) to do daily tasks has increased in recent years.

VA’s or remote workers are also an affordable investment in the growth of your business—especially if you outsource to countries like the Philippines where rates are lower compared to hiring locally. See  what these entrepreneurs and startups have to say:

Why Should My Startup Use a Virtual Assistant?

Outsourcing to a virtual assistant will dramatically reduce the time you spend on administrative tasks, and increase the time you can commit to growing your business.

The value proposition of a VA deals with how you monetize your time. If you monetize it at $50/hour and you can pay a VA $6/hour to handle administrative tasks, this frees up time for you to create real value in your business by developing new features or expanding marketing efforts.

My VA’s have saved me literally hundreds of hours over the past few years.

–  Jason Cohen, asmartbear.com

Virtual Assistant is a Startup’s Secret Weapon

Virtual assistants aren’t just for executives anymore. For many startups and small business owners, VA’s offer an obvious benefit. They are a big time saver during a phase in a company’s growth where it may not be viable to have a full-time employee.

Don’t limit your scope to just personal assistant tasks — startups and small businesses use VA’s for things like bookkeeping, social media, design, web development, email management, marketing administration and so much more.

– Renée Warren, entrepreneur.com

I Was Bogged in Repetition

I knew I needed a VA when I found myself doing a lot of repetitive tasks on a daily basis. I’ve worked with a number of VA’s over the years and I found the relationship most beneficial when I could outsource time consuming, yet simple, repetitive tasks. You want to avoid spending too much time explaining or reviewing projects so that you can maximize the time savings of having a VA in the first place.

– Nicolas Gremion, Free-eBooks.net

Avoid what you dislike

There are certain things that, no matter how hard we try to accept, somehow we end up avoiding them, and then avoiding them some more, and then it becomes a huge problem that we wish we just handled in the first place. Why not let your VA handle it? She is there to assist you so you could do your job better, and that should be a good-enough reason to want to hire one.

…And there’s someone to rely on

It’s a very uncertain period of your life and nothing is constant. Things are changing, people are coming and going, new ideas are being brought to the table while others are discarded… Hiring a dependable assistant can mean the world to you right now. It could possibly be the only person you know you can rely on to help you handle everything. And right now, that’s a big thing.

Get your productivity back by letting go. Hiring virtual assistants can help you focus on the bigger picture. Grow your business by doing the core tasks and let others take care of those you shouldn’t be doing.

If you need help or not sure how to start, contact us at our main number 1-866-596-9041 (510-400-8006 local). We have client representatives on standby from 8am to 9pm EST to assist you with any questions.

This takes a lot of planning, time, effort, and resources. Many of us are faced with so much work to do, but not enough time to achieve these goals. In some cases, we really need extra help, but don’t have the budget to hire additional resources and so we are stuck working 50-60 hours a week, with no time for relaxation or family.

As an entrepreneur, I know what it is like to work long hours to achieve my dreams. I remember a time when I was satisfied with and felt fortunate when I was regularly getting just 3.5-4 hours of sleep per day.

I was thinking, well, that’s better than 2 hours of sleep I had just yesterday! I was trying to do everything on my own.

Sometimes we nearly kill ourselves to achieve aggressive goals.

Outsourcing Repetitive Admin Tasks to Virtual Executive Assistants

When all the work falls upon us, our family life suffers, our health suffers, and our productivity and effectiveness declines.

However, it doesn’t have to be that way. As a first step, think about all the repetitive and busy work that you have to do on a daily or weekly basis. This is work that may be necessary, but keeps you from the higher end and strategic work that will really help you expand your business and generate revenue.

Commit to documenting the steps you take to complete that work by creating process maps or standardized work that outlines how to do this. In many Fortune 500 companies that I worked for, one of the main requirements my managers insisted upon was that as soon as we learned a job task, we needed to create a standardized work for that job task.

That way, later on, if we were on vacation, or were promoted to another job, or if we quit that employer, the next person can more easily fill in for us and take over our work.

This year, as soon as possible, commit to creating standardized work for your busy tasks that you don’t like doing or are just too busy to do. Once you do that, guess what? You can then outsource it to a remote assistant!

Yes, this takes some time and effort up front to create the standardized work, but in the long run, will free up so much of your time. Then, welcome to getting plenty of sleep and waking up without an alarm clock, well rested and ready to take on the day, doing what you want to do!

Related: What is a Virtual Assistant

The virtual assistant (VA) can do the busy work that you don’t want to do or don’t have time to do, and the best part about it is it can be inexpensive – up to 76%+ cheaper than hiring an office based worker.

In addition, you may have aggressive goals and project plans to grow your business this year.
However, you may not have the staff or the talent you need to achieve these goals according to your timeline.

If you expand your search for talent into the virtual workforce (home-based/remote workers), you have expanded your talent pool exponentially, and opened yourself to a wide variety of talent, experience, and skill workers from all over the world (whether locally or overseas) and at a price point according to your budget.

There are different types of virtual assistant services. VAs can do things both that you may not want to do or do not have the technical expertise to do (i.e. web design, graphics design, accounting/bookkeeping, programming, online marketing, SEO, content creation/copywriting, etc.)

Consider hiring a virtual personal assistant to achieve your goals for 2016, all while helping reduce your workload and providing the talent you need at a lower cost. Imagine assigning a multitude of tasks to your VA at night before you go to sleep and in the morning, all of those tasks are done.

Or, imagine having the flexibility to spend time during a good part of the day with your family (such as going on an afternoon excursion to the park or beach while everyone else is at work) all while the VA covers for you, handling certain aspects of your business (such as customer service, answering calls, etc).

With marketing constantly evolving, here are five tips you can do in order to begin the New Year with a bang:

1. Get a Plan of Action

Gather your team together and iron out a plan. If you run the business solo, then know you will have to wear different hats.  The main point here is develop a plan and stick to it.  For instance, you can use a simple calendar for your online marketing campaign. It is one of the best tools to lay out your project plans for all the blogs, ebooks, emails and other marketing materials for the entire calendar year.

Be sure to include due dates for each action, when the rough drafts are needed, when they should be approved and when they should be scheduled for distribution. Delegate each of the task to members of your team.  Hold each other accountable for their contribution to the process.

2. Improve Mobile Accessibility and Optimization

According to eMarketer, mobile marketing is predicted to surpass $100 billion in spending and account for more than 50% of all digital spending for the first time,. In fact, there are some predictions being made saying that mobile will completely overtake desktop next year.

More shoppers are now using their smartphones and tablets to make a purchase, look for a product, compare deals, or find a retail outlet. As people become more attached to their mobile devices, you can…

Make your website mobile friendly-turn visitors into lifetime customers.

3. Do a Little Bit of Research & Refine Social Media Presence

A little bit of research can go a long way. Figure out what topics your buyers will find interesting. Just like other virtual assistant companies, we often connect with our clients. We ask them questions – what blogs and online resources they turn to? What are some of the topics they are sharing in their social media accounts?

Talk to the individuals in your company that deal directly with your customers or conduct a survey directly on them. What concerns do they have?

Be proactive in promoting your content.  Send email notifications out to your database letting them know about the newly published. Notify your social media audiences.  Reach out to peers in your industry and let them know about the content you’ve created and why they might want to take a look.  Don’t be shy.  If you are not the top expert in your field (most of us are not), that is okay.

For every 1 person who knows 2x as much as you, 3 don’t know a fraction that you do.

Having a refined social media presence is vital to the survival of the business. Building a Facebook, Twitter or LinkedIn page is essential. Companies need to always keep in mind that social media is a way to engage users and build brand trust, not just for self-promotion.

4. Brands Must Get Personal

According to the Direct Marketing Association, 76% of consumers will share personal information with a brand if they believe it will improve their experience and interaction. By collecting key data from consumers, such as past customer purchases, newsletter sign-ups, discount offers and social media, companies are able to build profiles offering targeted content and incentives to purchase.

Related: Online Reputation Management and Brand Monitoring

Personalized one-to-one marketing will be a requirement to acquire and retain loyal customers. Getting personal with consumers equates to more emotionally connected customers who will help drive word-of-mouth referrals and online reviews.

As the co-founder of concierge business Ten Group says,

“Focus on what makes you different – not what is generic.” -Alex Cheatle
Click To Tweet

This allows your team, customers and suppliers to all “buy in” to why your business matters, and why it is worth joining, and staying and working with. It also means that everyone is better focused on your competitive advantage and unique proposition.”

Talk about what makes your business what it is. In addition to building brand trust and increase user engagement, businesses need to make sure their websites are up to date. Competition is tough and more businesses are using videos, photos and illustrations to stand out and attract more customers.

5. Accept That You Can’t Do Everything

As an entrepreneur, you’re going to get used to do different duties – bookkeeper, sales agent, customer rep – but that doesn’t mean you can or should do everything yourself! If you want your business to grow, you need to accept that you can’t do everything all of the time.

Look for help from talented individuals who share your vision and values and can help you grow your business.  You can outsource repetitive admin tasks or technical tasks to virtual assistant online services or personal assistants so you can free up some time to do important things. After all, you are only one person.

Plan the Year Ahead

You might not be able to make all the progress you’d like for your business in the next few days, but you can definitely plan for it. As a business owner, you are responsible for your entire online marketing strategy – from conception, to development, to implementation. If you want your business to be successful you need to get your plan working and keep your doors open for customer feedback and trends that will benefit your brand.

Be sure to keep these strategies in mind as you head into 2018. Make your bigger and bolder business year to date!

Data Entry Outsourcing

In the current business world, e-commerce is one of the things that continues to be critical to business success. The ability of each company to provide quality and relevant content to every customer inquiry is a top priority. The more relevant information you can provide to your customers, the more your company will have an edge on your competition. It is a change that most of the businesses have started to implement.

That is why it is crucial that you would pick a company that can provide you with reputable data entry services.

However, the demand is continuously rising and the  competition as well. Therefore, you would need to learn the best strategy in order to stay on top of the game. You need to learn how to get an edge on your competition.

If you would outsource your data entry you will be able to save on compensation costs, incentives and other allowances required from an internal staff. Internal data entry work would also mean more investment,  with you having to purchase expensive software to do data processing and storage.

On the other hand, if you would outsource your data processing there is no need for you to do that because the company would provide it for you. Your data would be stored safely and your company’s efficiency would be increased.

Data Entry Services

Therefore, from this savings you would be able to invest more on the most important things that will help your company grow and reach your goals.

You may be too stressed with managing your data entry, but when you outsource, you would be able to reduce that stress.  The outsourced data entry company can help you minimize your work load and help you to become more productive.

Benefits of Outsourcing IT

Are you overwhelmed with different IT projects? Your company may be one of the best in your field and you may be nervous about outsourcing your work. You don’t want to take the risk with having others work your IT projects for you.

However, there is a great advantage with outsourcing and it outweighs the risks that you may be concerned about. We only have twenty four hours in a day and if you want to achieve all that you need in a day then you would need to get more work force.

These are the advantages of outsourcing your IT

Save Time

Each person has different skills and capacities. It would be important for every internal employee to do the core duties. If they would work on time consuming and lease important IT related tasks that may not be the core and vital tasks that your company would need to accomplish then you would lose both time and money. If you would be able to outsource you would be able to save your staff’s time to prioritize the most important thing that your company would need to reach for that day.

Save Money

The great thing about outsourcing  is being cost effective. You would be able to pay for the specialty of each of your employee. Your internal staff’s time may be too precious to work on IT tasks.

Aside from that you would be able to save from the cost with training your staff and recruiting them since most outsourcing company have a lower price.

IT Outsource Service

Now that you have outsourced the minor tasks that are time consuming within your company. You would be able to concentrate more on your core duties. Thus, it would be easier for your company to grow and implement strategies.

It would be important for your internal staff to go forward with making your company or your business succeed. When they have adequate time to focus on their most important duties then you will be assured that productivity would be improved.

Efficiency

When you have both internal and outsourced staff you will be able to get more results and profit on your investment. Therefore your company’s process would be more efficient since you would only spend or invest lesser money and would generate more income and productivity from your work force.

So you should decide today about outsourcing your IT Work. So that you will start growing your business right away!

“5/4/2010: To-Do List” by John.schultz is licensed under CC BY-SA 2.0

(1) Time
Clients choose to hire a Virtual Assistant, because they are out of time. Although time management experts will point out that a day has always been made up of 24 hours, with the fast pace by which the world is moving, there are things that you simply need to do NOW or should have done yesterday! You need to be quick in order to gain a competitive advantage.

Our clients delegate vital operational activities to their VA. Activities that the business needs to keep running but should not necessarily be done by the client himself.

These activities include administrative tasks such as:

• Preparing company documents
• Entering information into the company database
• Customer service
• Responding to incoming phone calls, emails or chats
• Contacting leads and other contacts
• Setting up appointments

Taking off these time consuming tasks from the clients’ “plate” allows them to focus on other areas that the business needs such as nurturing relationships with clients, suppliers and other business stakeholders, as well as other business development activities.

(2) Cost
Having a virtual admin assistant is more cost-effective than having an in-house or on-site staff, because it takes away overhead costs. In fact, in the article 3 ways to Take Advantage of the Virtual Workforce by Forbes Magazine, they revealed an increase in the number of staff who have adopted telecommuting in the United States.

Despite the announcements of big companies like Yahoo and Best Buy that they will cease to offer work from home options to staff, many companies in the United States still continue to offer this as an option because of the apparent savings that it generates.

Another distinct advantage of having an employee working offshore or remotely from countries like the Philippines is the exchange rate and the difference in the cost of living.

At $7.20 – $13 per hour (which is the cost of our SuperPro Packages) you will be getting a highly skilled and experienced online worker, while giving a competitive salary package that they will not normally get in local companies – even in the Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) or call center industry.

Having a remote staff allows our clients to meet the 2 points of the Project Management triangle – Time and Cost, which leads us to the third point in the triangle: Quality.

The determining factor in selecting a virtual personal assistant or online outsourcing company to entrust your business with depends on the quality of work that they provide.

With all the options that are available these days, finding one is just a click away, so it is very important for you to be aware of your options and most importantly, what YOU can do in order for your VA relationship to be an effective one.

This leads us to:

VATip #1: Create a To-Do List

Creating a To-Do List for your remote worker sounds easy enough, but it’s something that, we have found, most clients have difficulty with.

This is something that we help our clients in determining even prior to endorsing or recommending our virtual team for interview, because it sets the pace for the entire project.

One thing that we have noticed about the online outsourcing or work from home industry is that it has a tendency to take away certain inhibitions and practices from both clients and home-based staff alike. This is why we keep a very process-driven approach with how we handle our clients and team.

Just like in a regular office or corporate setting, we are governed by certain guidelines and processes, which keep order within the company and this all starts with your basic to-do list!

Look at your To-Do List

Before you even start writing your list, take a look at your own personal to-do list. From your list, transfer the tasks that usually eat up a lot of your time to a list of tasks that can be delegated to someone else.

While doing this, you will most likely have an argument with yourself as you will find yourself asking things like, “…but I will need to give access to this. Is it safe?” or “I may need to train them on this.” or “Can they even do this?”

But before you even entertain these thoughts, just…

Focus on tasks you want to get off your plate & write them down.

The Urgency/Important Matrix

If it is your first time working with a virtual executive assistant, we recommend delegating some basic tasks to kick off your working relationship.

One of the main advantages of the Virtual Assistant Talent packages is that we offer part time engagements for as low as 10 hours per week. This drives us to earn our clients’ trust in order for them to increase their hours and delegate more tasks to us.

With these types of engagements, we recommend delegating tasks that fall under the Urgent and Important quadrant or parameters of the Urgency/Important Matrix or what is also known as the Time Management Matrix.

Focusing on these types of tasks will definitely help you out by giving you more time to develop your business model and see what other tasks can be outsourced.

Seek expert advice

Once you have put together your list, talk to someone—but not just anyone. Talk to someone who has had experience working with VAs before or better yet, call us!

The Virtual Assistant Talent team takes the time to help out clients put together a task list as this helps us in creating a job description and minimum skill requirement to endorse only home-based employees who are capable of fulfilling the tasks and responsibilities you need.

About VATip

Virtual Assistant Tips or our VATips are meant to provide our existing clients, those who are currently working with a virtual team and those who are thinking about having a VA in understanding how to best utilize their virtual resources.

Decades ago, hiring an assistant is picked and preferred from your locality for your physical office only and not virtually. But, as generations change and technology advances, so does a businessman’s point of view.

Having a virtual assistant is a 24/7 challenge not only to the client but to the assistant as well. There are many things to consider like time zones, how to effectively communicate with your assistant, tasks to relay, and output delivery.

Related: How to effectively manage your Client-Virtual Assistant time

This is what globalization and technology has achieved, bringing people closer in all aspects of day-to-day activity.

This made way to Business Processing Outsource or BPO business, bourgeoning all over the world and competing to gain a slice of the industry.

This leads to the Philippines as one of the top outsourcing destinations in the world and the most sought after when it comes to virtual assistance outsourcing.

There are two types of virtual outsourcing in the Philippines, the head hunting companies and the virtual assistance service providers.

1. Head hunting companies have a pool of curriculum vitaes from freelance VAs.

These companies usually provide at least three cream of the crop CV’s of virtual personal assistants for the clients to choose from. Once the client has chosen the perfect VA for his business, he will then inform the company, sign the contract with the agreed VA pay per hour or monthly pay (depending on the agreement), pay the company for the head hunting fee and everything is set to go.

After the VA is endorsed, the head hunting company has no further obligation to the client and VA. But some do extend the service and make follow up to check on how the VA is doing and if the client is satisfied with his or her working performance. The client pays the VA directly of his compensation.

2. Virtual outsourcing companies have skilled online assistants working for them with different skill sets to cater every client’s needs.

A virtual services company has its own staff like human resource, client representatives, payroll masters, and operations manager to give support not only to the remote workers but also to address complaints and other issues from clients.

Like the head hunting companies, virtual outsourcing companies provide three topnotch VAs and schedule client-VA interviews. After the client chooses his her virtual admin assistant, contract signing follows with details like pay, number of hours worked in a day or week, work schedule and others.

Unlike the former, the virtual services provider has a support team to check and assess the client and VAs on the progress of their tasks. The client pays the company and the company is the one who pays the home-based employees of their salary.

Virtual Assistant Talent is a virtual assistance outsourcing company based in Fremont, California with all-Filipino remote or online employees.

This seems like to be good news to many of the tax filers as this gives them enough time to prepare all the necessary documents and hopefully get things done – right, but for most of the busy business owners, this is the season that can add up to their stress level, becoming cumbersome and not to mention time consuming too. There are those who thought they can do all the donkey work by themselves and file tax on their own so as to save on tax preparer’s fee. But then again, there are those business owners who contract the service of a highly qualified Accountant and or Bookkeeper from an Accounting firm.

Instead of securing the service from these companies who are most likely to be costly and an added charge to your budget, why not get the service of a virtual assistant where the service is generally the same as those from an accounting firm but at a fraction of the cost.

An Accountant or Bookkeeper’s responsibilities are but not limited to:

1)    Bookkeeping

2)    Tax records

3)    Prepare documents for tax filing

4)    Profit shares

5)    Reconciling accounts

6)    Payroll

7)    Monthly-end closing reports

8)    Preparing financial reports

9)    Business financial advice

10)   Accounting Data Entry

11)   Accounts receivable management

12)   Accounts payable management

13)   Bank and credit card reconciliation

14)   Trial balance

15)   Year-end accounting

16)   Fixed asset management

17)   Cash flow projections

18)   Budgeting

19)   Inventory control

20)   Inventory analysis

21)   And other accounting tasks

All you have to do is to find the right virtual assistant that will help you with your accounting and bookkeeping needs. Keep in mind that these virtual assistants are professional and most of them are even Certified Public Accountants who are doing home based job on the side. That means you can trust them with your financial records and your business.

You can focus more on growing your business, increase your income and profit, and have it on the right track with less excruciating paper works and overwhelming receipts and payables.

Outsourcing your virtual assistant can be very tricky but when you find the right one, you will thank your VA for lightening up your work load. Tax time is no sweat with the support of your accountant / bookkeeper virtual assistant.

Hire your virtual assistant from Virtual Assistant Talent,LLC and see the difference. We have all the services you are looking for and the best and experts in their field Virtual Assistants in town.
