9 Reasons to Hire A Virtual Assistant

As business owners, you are always trying to manage it all. Managing it all can have a detrimental effect in the long run. Why? You can easily become consumed with doing all the back end work yourself, in turn chewing up your valuable time that you could be focusing on your business growth. Establishing your foundations from the start is a great way to ensure as you grow and build your business, you are on solid ground.

Many people become consumed with money, and the ability to afford a virtual assistant. If you can only afford 1 hour a week or month, that is completely okay. Just make sure you are utilize their time on important tasks you need done, rather than just any old task.

So here are 9 reasons why you should be hiring a virtual assistant.

1. Time – getting your time back. While a virtual assistant attends to your backend requirements, you can be focusing on clients or business growth.

2. Value – it’s more cost effective for your business to hire someone to attend to your administrative or online content management, than you doing it.

Cost – hiring a virtual assistant against what your charging clients is a more cost effective avenue. You may be charging say $200 an hour, and hiring a virtual assistant between $25 to $50 an hour. You are making $150, doing what you love and know your business requirements are also being attended too.

1. Budget – you can hire help at a budget amount, just determine what your budget amount is. You might start at 1 hour a week, and then as you grow your hours with your virtual assistant can grow.

2. Expertise – Virtual Assistant specialize in many industries and skills, so bring to your team a valuable resource.

3. Manage – A virtual assistant can manage your day to day, along with specific projects or even your teams.

4. Growth – some virtual assistants are more than just virtual assistants. Often we are cheerleaders, answer client questions on parts of a business they not have knowledge of..such as what is a blog, what information do you put on it..do "I" need one?

5. Reporting – a virtual assistant can update and maintain daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly or yearly report for you, no boring tasks for you to do.

6. Sanity – Yes sanity. Often business owners become so overwhelmed trying to keep on top of everything that they end up feeling completely overwhelmed. Having the right virtual assistant to support them helps eliminate this.
