Your virtual PA: making admin work for you

Written by: Sandra Lewis

Having a virtual PA can completely transform the way that your business operates – for the better!

If you’ve ever wished for just a few more hours in the day, if you’ve ever wanted someone to sort out your travel plans, or if you’ve just needed a bit of help around the office, a virtual personal assistant could be the ideal solution for you. It’s all about making things happen, and you can’t move ahead if your admin is holding you back.

Most small business owners are very careful about where they spend their business funds, and often hiring a personal assistant can be a costly undertaking – especially if there isn’t always enough work to keep them busy in a full-time capacity.

With a virtual PA, you only pay for the time you use, whether it’s two hours a day, or two hours a month. You can call on your part time PA when your admin piles up at the end of the month, or you can have them commit to a few hours a week to keep the paperwork down: it’s entirely up to you. Make your admin work for you by hiring a personal assistant to work on the tasks that are holding you back. Choose the times, hours, days and tasks that suit you and start making administrative nightmares a thing of the past!

Services a Virtual PA could help you with:

• Make and receive phone calls
• Travel arrangements
• Research
• Transcription Services
• Replying to emails

Hiring a virtual pa will allow you to take control of that admin which seems to pile up each month, and free yourself up in the process to focus on growing your business – or to take a bit of time off.

Here are some of the benefits you can expect:

• Free up your time (you could even take a holiday!)
• Get help when you need it
• No commitment or contracts
• Only pay for time you use
• Get industry professionals at affordable rates

In addition to lightening the workloads, you can also call on someone with specific skills or abilities, like someone who is an expert in creating PowerPoint presentations, or someone who has fast typing skills and who can effectively transcribe recordings or interviews. Virtual professional services are completely flexible and will work around your needs and requirements to deliver a top-notch service you can rely on.
