How to Work With
Outsourcing Teams and Virtual Assistants
If you are a business owner
and you do it all yourself, you may be a little overwhelmed and stressed out.
You may often find that there is just not enough time in the day to do
everything.
In fact, if you admit it,
you more than likely need help. So hire a virtual assistant and team.
To put it simply, virtual
assistants and their teams do not work in your office, they most often work
from their homes, a center business location, or a combination. And hiring a
virtual assistants and teams is becoming increasingly popular in the world
today, as some advantages of having a virtual assistant include the following.
One: If you have
no employees working on-site, you have no responsibility for them. This means
you are not responsible for giving them any benefits (sick leave, vacation,
insurance, etc.), no worker’s compensation, taxes, no pensions, no training, no maternity or paternity leave. Virtual assistants are
self-employed, so they are responsible for all of these extra expenses.
Two: When using a virtual assistant you do not have to
deal with them sitting around talking to co-workers and telling you their life
story. Virtual assistants are all business. This way you are not “paying” for
personal phone calls, crises, lateness, childcare problems, etc. Having a
virtual assistant means they support your needs not you support theirs. For
most business owners, like you, this is a selling point.
Three: When you have a virtual assistant, you do not pay
them if they are not working on a project. With normal employees you pay them
for the hours they are in the office (in other words on the clock) each day.
Virtual assistants record the hours they work for you. Therefore, you only pay
them for work accomplished. You never have to pay for them to take breaks,
lunch, or run personal errands.
Four: Working with a virtual assistant means flexible
hours. Being that they are self-employed like you they know how important to
have the availability when you need it. They can provide service outside of
normal business hours when needed. They are there for your business and your
needs not for their convenience.
Five: Having a virtual assistant can be a lifesaver. They
can be ready and available to work when the chips are down, when you need to
run to the doctor, when guests drop in and you want time off and any number of
other things.
Hint: when you decide that a
virtual assistant is right for you, you do make sure you hire one who will fit
your needs. Do a little research and don’t be afraid to ask some questions. Check
into getting a detailed list of the services the assistant can provide as well
as a price list. And be willing to have open communications with a little
instruction as needed to get to know one another, and to learn the tasks you
need completed.
