What is a VA?
A Virtual Assistant is that vital support
which enable you to meet your secretarial requirement.
Virtual Assistants are currently working as Executive Assistants, Secretaries,
Data Entry Personnel, Medical Transcriptionists, as-well-as, a whole host of
other tasks.
Your VA is not an employee of your company. They are in fact small business
owners themselves. They are not someone you only want to type a single project.
VAs become an integral part of your business. VAs pride themselves on becoming a
part of your company interested in helping your small business succeed. They get
to know you personally, want to know your customers and assist you in
maintaining close contact with your customer base.
Communication between you and your VA is accomplished using phone, fax, email,
diskette transfer, cassette tape, overnight mail, electronic file manager and
instant messaging.
VAs perform information processing, internet research, mail, diary management
and email services.
Education levels of Virtual Assistants (VAs) vary but as a general rule they are
normally well educated and have a multitude of hard skills and experience in
office management and computer systems and software.
They have worked as secretaries, administrators or executive assistants in the
past and have not only succeeded but moved to the very top of the field.
They are small business owners who, like any other business owner, define their
success by client satisfaction.
