Over recent years we are seeing the shift from permanent employee to virtual assistant. There are a multitude of reasons why hiring a virtual assistant is better and easier, but for now… here are five reasons why hiring a virtual assistant will change your mindset and your life!
1.You pay for what you need.
Most companies will have busy periods with a couple of quiet spells in between. Maybe you’ve got a product launch coming up that requires an extra pair of hands? Using a virtual assistant gives you the flexibility to scale up the support when needed and reduce it when business gets a bit quieter. You should also consider all of the lost time you pay employees for when they’re having lunch or making a tea. A virtual Assistant will only invoice you for time worked.
2. Employees come with more cost.
Hiring someone as a permanent member of staff comes with a much higher cost than a virtual assistant. A permanent employee will need a desk, IT equipment and phone, national insurance costs, holiday and sick pay, plus any benefits you choose to offer. Compare that to a virtual assistant… and you just pay the hourly rate!
3. You get the skills and experience of several people rather than one.
In some cases virtual assistants work with others to build a hub of knowledge to be able to tend to every need. Whether that be social media management, project management, event planning, on top of the general administration duties you require. A team of virtual assistants will be able to help with all of this!
4. Virtual assistants can adapt quickly.
After an initial call, virtual assistants can adapt to your business needs quickly and get started straight away.
5. Virtual assistants know how difficult running a business can be.
VAs are also business owners too! They understand the pressures as well as the rewards. They will use this experience to help run things more smoothly.
