Virtual assistants can hold down a home office for you, even when you don’t have a physical office space to speak of. When you hand out cards with contact information on them, rather than the number on the cards going directly to your cell phone (and you have to figure out in a split second before answering: is this business or is this personal?), it’ll go through your virtual assistant, who can very often handle the call for you.
Virtual assistants can also take care of business-specific tasks. For instance, if you are a real estate agent and have a househunting client who changes his mind every other day about what he’s looking for, your virtual assistant could pull possible house listings and comps for you, while you’re in-between showings.
Many virtual assistants can be hired on an as-needed basis, so that if your business has a “busy season,” you could easily keep a virtual assistant busy for that timeframe and then transition back to running a solo show when the busy season is over. But we have a feeling that once you try and get used to having a virtual assistant to help you, you’ll decide to rethink the DIY approach.
Virtual Assistants Tip: In the past few decades, the number of businesspeople working on-the-go has been increasing steadily…Cell phones, email, and faxes all have become part of the mobile repertoire, and now you should include virtual assistants on that list
