Why Hire A Virtual Assistant? ...

As a business owner or busy executive, do you find yourself bogged down taking care of “the necessities” each day?! (trust me, … during my corporate career, I witnessed it on a daily basis!!) 

As a business owner or executive, your TIME is worth MONEY! Business leaders, like yourself, are drowning in tasks & projects these days. Booking travel accommodations; managing email communications; managing a calendar that’s changing minute-by-minute; creating content for newsletter or social media; formatting presentation material; I could go on and on … these tasks are absolutely necessary; however, they don’t actually help your business grow. By spending time completing “the necessities”, you are taking time away from the growth of the business. Your time needs to be focused on interacting with customers, creating/marketing new products, researching new markets. Hiring a Virtual Assistant (VA) to manage your day-to-day admin tasks, will free up time in your day; the result, you’ll be able to focus on “big picture” things that impact your bottom line.  A few additional benefits of hiring a VA include:

1.  Never Tied to a Standard 9-5 Business Day 

Time management is the key benefit that a VA brings to the table. Virtual assistants are trained to work in an organized, planned, and scheduled manner so that they can maximize business productivity in a given period.  A VA is not constrained by time zones or a dictated work schedule. They can work weekends or holidays, if needed, to ensure that deadlines are met and client satisfaction is always at the center of everything they do.  They are available to adapt each client's specifications & are available to travel, if necessary, to perform certain tasks (training, on-site event planning/logistics, etc.).  This could also include immediate/emergency “on-demand” availability for those last-minute projects (less than 24 hr notice).

2.  You Value Your Time

Wearing every hat in your business can (and will) lead to stress and overwhelm.  It often means something isn’t being done with the level of focus it deserves. By hiring a capable VA, you can say goodbye to late nights at the office and spend more devoted and relaxed time with family and friends.

3.  Increased Productivity

Let’s face it … employees cost an employer money & resources in non-productive time. They take time to grab a cup of coffee, run to the restroom or chat with a co-worker.  On the contrary, a VA time tracks 100% of their work, clocking in ONLY when working on your project or task.  This means you receive 100% productivity for every dollar spent. 

4.  Dedicated Customer Services

Customer satisfaction is a pivotal aspect of every company. However, handling customer service can be pretty demanding, especially when you receive a high volume of calls. You must have someone dedicated to responding to customer queries with patience and a smile.  First Class Assisting can handle this aspect of your business for you with poise, grace and professionalism representing your company as if it was our own.

5.  Reduced Operational Cost

Full-time employees are expensive. In addition to an annual salary, you’ll also be responsible for payroll taxes, healthcare and other benefits, office space, workplace consumables and so forth.  A key benefit of hiring a VA, is that you pay an established monthly package price which is hugely helpful when you are planning your monthly or annual budget.  As mentioned prior, clients only pay for the exact time that we work on their specific tasks/projects.

BOTTOM LINE: TIME is worth MONEY …. Hiring a First Class Assisting VA can give you BOTH.
