I have noticed that many of my fellow entrepreneurs are reluctant to take the plunge. So often they don’t get the help they need because they think hiring a full-time, physical assistant is their only option.That’s what I thought too. However, this is usually not the best option—at least not at the beginning.
Here are 9 Reasons to Rethink Your Approach to Staffing :
1. It takes forever to find the right person
2. Employees cost more than their salary
3. You have to find a place to put people
4. You need to keep the people you have busy
5. Availability isn’t the same as competency
6. Employees don’t really work eight hours a day
7. Firing people is a hassle
8. Your personnel budget is suffocating your margin for growth
9. An affair will cost you more than you think
We are a company that provides virtual assistant services to businesses and non-profit organizations, including churches.
I’m convinced that virtual assistants are the future and you might need to consider hiring a virtual assistant if:
1. You feel overwhelmed with your workload.
2. You need help digging out from the administrative pile.
3. You know you could really “move the needle” if you could focus more on what you and only you can do.
4. You want to be more productive and less stressed.
5. You know you need help but can’t afford someone full-time.
6. You don’t want the hassle of recruiting, hiring, and training a physical assistant.
7. You want—and need—more margin in your life.
What can a virtual assistant do for you?
Anything that does not require physical presence.
Almost all business transactions are conducted via e-mail and occasionally phone.
All you need is a sharp, responsive assistant who helps you get what you need when you need it. What you also need to know is that you have a trusted business partner who frees up to do what you do best. Maybe it’s time to consider hiring one for yourself.
