When a company hires a permanent employee, they are essentially looking for someone to add value to their business. Without that there is little point in hiring. We, as professional Virtual Assistants (or VA’s), are acutely aware that the same applies to any outsourced service. Our play on William Shakespeare’s ‘How do I love thee, let me count the ways’ – to ‘the value of VA’s - let me count the ways’ is because we believe that when you become aware of the true value of a great VA, it may be ‘love at first’ sight for your business!
Throughout October we will be talking about the great benefits that any business can derive from using a VA. We will be breaking it into the four main categories of the people we serve, and these are:
Most SMEs benefit from VA’s mostly because they provide a better alternative to the headaches of hiring permanent staff. Why pay people who are often not busy or whilst they are on holiday or in a sickbed? VA’s add value by being paid only for the services they provide. These services are numerous too - everything from completing application forms and submitting them for licenses, visas and passports, to handling UIF, bank accounts – and much more.
We provide a myriad of services to tradespeople and people who are out in the field most of the day benefit from the communication a VA can provide between them, their teams on the site and suppliers too. We can, apart from handling all the administrative tasks most tradespeople hate to do, be a command centre for any project and this is of great value to them.
Many owners of professional services don’t realise that good VA's are also specialists in many areas of the professions. They add value by being an outsourced service that understands the intricacies of their businesses. For example, we assist medical people to liaise with the tripartite billing of the patient, medical aid, and practitioner. In legal practices, we offer transcription and legal documentation assistance etc.
From staying home Mums for whom we handle everything from daily admin to assistance with domestic staff – like applications for UIF etc. – to Butchers and Bakers and Candlestick makers – we cater for ever individual’s needs, from handling diaries and ensuring appointments are kept - to facilitating complicated tax issues.
The word value begins with VA and V-Assist add more value than you can even imagine. Watch this space as we dig into these four categories of assistance and get more specific about all the ways they can benefit from our comprehensive range of services.
