HIRING / WHY HIRE A VIRTUAL ASSISTANT?
Are You a start-up or small business? Possibly an independent contractor?
Before hiring a physical, full time employee consider the following:
Hiring a physical, full time employee is a commitment and an investment.
What if you don’t have enough work for your hire?
What if you make a “bad hire”?
What if you can’t afford your employee any longer?
Can You ensure that they stay busy and have enough work to do?
Are they truly busy or do they just LOOK busy? Studies have shown that on average, a 40 hour per week employee typically only completes about 20 hours of work.
Do you only need help for a specific project or during a certain time of the year?
Do you have the Work Space for an additional employee?
What about Furniture and Equipment?
Quality over Availability! Hire someone to help you reach Your business goals. Not someone just to hire someone.
Consider how much of your business is handled via email, phone, internet, fax, etc.?
How often do you meet with your clients face to face?
In some ways, YOU are a virtual employee.
You will know it is time to hire help when…
You are feeling overwhelmed by your current workload
You are spending more time handling the day to day tasks and less time bringing in additional revenue and focusing on your core business of what you and only you can do.
You want to be more productive and less stressed.
You know you need help but can’t afford a full-time employee.
You don’t want the hassle of recruiting, hiring, and training a physical assistant.
By performing your own administrative tasks, you are taking time away from other essential areas and losing money!
Hiring a VA will free up more time to develop strategies and focus on Your current clients and projects. It will also allow more time to network and reach out to new clients.
