Are you feeling overwhelmed with the number of items on your to-do list? Feeling like there just aren’t enough hours in the day to get everything done? Or perhaps you’ve been putting off getting them done because you just don’t want to do them? If you’re thinking, “One day I’ll get that done”, I can help!
I am a Virtual Assistant who provides professional administrative and business support for small business owners. I help my clients by handling the tasks that are taking up their time and preventing them from doing what they do best: focusing on growing their business.
Benefits of Partnering with a Virtual Assistant
1. I can save you time.
a. By taking on some of your admin tasks, you will have more time to focus on growing your business instead of working in it.
2. I can save you money.
a. You will only pay for work done. Hourly rates are accompanied by a time sheet documenting the work I’ve done. Package or project rates are based on a specific set of tasks/deliverables.
b. You won’t be paying for employee-related benefits, holiday pay, insurance, taxes or vacation time.
3. I can save you space.
a. By working remotely from my home office, you won’t need to find a space for me to work from. Additionally, I provide my own office equipment – computer, desk, chair, phone, printer/scanner – as well as office supplies like pens and pencils, so you won’t need to spend money to outfit an office space either!
4. I can offer you flexibility.
a. You can decide if you’d prefer to pay hourly, package or project rates.
b. You can decide if we’re going to work together long-term or just when you need an extra hand here and there.
c. You can also decide if you want to pass a variety of recurring tasks my way or just a one-time project.
5. I can offer you professional administrative experience.
a. I have over 20 years of experience with a wide variety of administrative tasks.
b. I have a diverse skill set with proficiency in a wide range of tools; you probably won’t need to spend time training me on the specific ones you use.
c. In the event that you do need to train me to use a specific tool that I haven’t used before, I am able to learn quickly.
Still not convinced that partnering with a Virtual Assistant is the right choice for you?
Have you been dreaming of being more productive? Of getting more things on your to-do list done? Or perhaps you’ve been wanting to streamline some of your processes by checking out that Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system that was recommended to you months ago? Just thinking about everything that you need – and want – to get done is stressing you out! I can take some of that off of your plate and give you a chance to just breathe and regroup so that you can focus on growing your business: working on your business instead of in your business.
But… you know that you need some help and don’t think that you can afford someone full-time. No worries! We can start off slow. Pick one task that is constantly taking up too much of your time. Perhaps it takes 2 hours of your time each week. Let’s start there. Pass it to me and now you have 2 hours each week to work on something else. (Or better yet, take some much-needed time to relax and get a handle on that life-work balance that’s so important for you to stay sane!)
Or maybe you really do want to take a closer look at that CRM system that everyone’s been raving about because you’ve realized that you have been adding the same client information in three different places, but you don’t really have the time – or let’s be frank – the interest, in learning a new system. I have oodles of experience with all kinds of database systems and really – that’s all a CRM system is – across a wide variety of industries. It may sound a bit strange, but I’m a bit of a skills junkie. Any time I have the opportunity to learn and put into practice a new system or tool, I will!
Final thoughts…
If you task me with something I don’t know how to do, I will figure it out. I will also ask questions so that I clearly understand what you’re asking me to do and keep you apprised of my progress. You won’t need to provide constant supervision to ensure that I’m doing what you need done in the manner that you need it, and it will be done within the timelines that we have agreed to.
