Imagine that all of your follow-up calls and emails are taken care of. Imagine that your teleclasses are managed for you, so that the only thing you have to do is present them. Now imagine that you have a partner, someone who is looking out for the best interest of your business, and eager to support you in making your business a success. More importantly, imagine having all the time you want to do what it is that you love to do, and what you do best. It’s nice to think about, isn’t it? And it is all possible, by enlisting the services of a Virtual Assistant.

Virtual Assistants (VAs) handle functions such as these for their clients, along with countless other tasks. They handle them remotely, from their offices, using the internet, phone, fax, and Instant Messaging. They are entrepreneurs themselves, committed to ensuring the success of their clients’ businesses. VA specialists cater to a specific industry, and have the expertise to handle clients’ tasks that are exclusive to those industries.

Running the administrative aspects of a business is a time-consuming job. Maintaining the everyday functions of the business sometimes leaves little time for performing the core services that speakers and coaches provide. Oftentimes, speakers and coaches, (though obvious experts in their respective fields), are not proficient at administrative functions. This means they require more time in handling everyday functions, leaving less time to focus on what they do best, and what supports their businesses financially.

Business owners sometimes think they can do it all, but they usually can not. Oh, sure, maybe some small business owners enjoy doing all of their own administrative work, while at the same time working on promoting and growing their business, and then also delivering their services. Though, I would bet that they don’t have much time for themselves, or family. They probably even have to turn some clients away because their schedule is packed.

Most business owners wish to continually grow their businesses. Speakers and coaches are hardly the exception. But, how do they do that if they’re spending a lot of time managing their daily operations? They don’t. The marketing and promoting of their business gets pushed to the wayside. This makes it essential to hire a VA. A VA knows what needs to be done and when it needs to be done. They are experts in managing their clients’ businesses so that they’re consistently moving in the right direction, forward.

Hiring a VA that is an expert in your industry is vital. In the same way we don’t go to a cardiologist to treat a back problem, coaches and speakers shouldn’t hire, say, a Real Estate VA for service and support of their businesses. A VA that supports speakers and coaches understands the industry. They know how to systemize the business, watch for leads, promote the products and/or services, research new opportunities, and of course, handle all the necessary day to day administrative functions.

Wouldn’t we all love to have an assistant right there in our offices? Sounds great, doesn’t it? Well, what if there isn’t enough work to keep them busy, will we pay them to just sit there? Not just pay them to sit there, but also pay them to have a lunch break, pay them when they call in sick, pay their health insurance, vacation time and taxes. It’s not sounding so great now, that’s for certain. The benefit of hiring a VA is that they are only paid for the hours they work. For example, if the administrative and industry specific work for a certain speaker or coach takes two hours per day to complete, those hours, and only those hours, are billed by their VA.

The Virtual Assistance industry is relatively new, yet gaining great momentum. Entrepreneurs and small businesses are realizing how cost effective it is to outsource administrativ
