How to save money by having a Virtual Assistant!

April! In the business world - the month of tax returns and looong phone calls to HMRC. So lets look at how hiring a VA could save you money…..

First of all, unless you were a secretary or personal assistant in your previous career you are unlikely to be an expert in that field. You are an expert in your field. Which means if you choose to do your own data input, customer management, email management, admin, etc you are likely to be slower, less precise, less efficient, and less knowledgeable in that area.

Yes but....,

how will a VA know how I do things?

They don’t know my business!

No, but a good VA will have large amounts of knowledge and experience in managing the tasks you need to get done. A good VA will also usually offer a free zoom or call consultation to discuss your business and see if you and they are a good fit. The majority of businesses background processes run in the same way with some tailoring on top to fit the individual industry. A VA can even suggest ways to improve or automate these processes saving you even more time and money.

Work out how many hours you spend on admin tasks that you could outsource. Now multiply that by your hourly rate. An expert in the admin field would get this done in half the time, a VA hourly rate can start at as little as £25 per hour. VA’s usually have packages or monthly retainers to save you money too.

So how many hours could you save?

You can then use this saved time to service your clients, earning your hourly rate and working doing what you enjoy. You could even get your work/life balance back!

A VA is not an employee! – Which is great as there is no payroll, sick pay or holidays to worry about and they come complete with their own office, IT and software. Most VA’s will have a team of VA colleagues at the end of the phone to recommend, or help them, with any tasks they aren’t familiar with too.

Different VA’s specialise in different tasks and businesses so its worth booking in a free call and seeing if you are the right fit.
