I ASSIST

In today’s ever-hectic, ever-changing world, the need for consistent, reliable administrative support for small businesses is growing. While a business may not be in the position to hire a permanent employee, the need to delegate those tiresome administrative tasks, while being able to focus the required time, effort and energy on other business-related activities is still there.

I ASSIST is here to answer the call!

What Is a Virtual Assistant?

A Virtual Assistant is an independent contractor that offers administrative support via his/her own home office. There are many, many benefits to having a Virtual Assistant join your team, rather than hiring an employee. They have their own equipment, software, space - just to name a few benefits.

A Virtual Assistant IS someone who:

¨ is an independent business owner

¨ assists you with various administrative tasks

¨ you can rely on

¨ can help you boost your profits

¨ offers expertise in areas that are not the focus of your business

¨ provides feedback/becomes a sounding board as your relationship grows

¨ is genuinely interested in the success of your business

¨ someone you communicate with regularly, share your business strategy and goals with so they can provide you with the support you need

A Virtual Assistant IS NOT a:

¨ business coach

¨ business manager

¨ decision maker

¨ expert in every area that you may require assistance in

¨ responsible for establishing business goals and strategies for your business

It's also important to note that all Virtual Assistants provide support in numerous different areas. Some offer expertise in web design, others know more about bookkeeping and/or accounting, while others are more involved with ecommerce and internet marketing etc. There are even some Virtual Assistants, such as I ASSIST, that simply provide traditional administrative support such as word processing etc. Therefore, before looking for a Virtual Assistant to help you in your business, be clear what kind of expertise you would like your VA to offer.

Also, remember that even though they are proficient in the areas you have identified, they may not know the answer to every one of your questions or know exactly what to do in every situation - especially when it comes to ever changing technology options on the internet.
