What is a Virtual Assistant (VA)?

A Virtual Assistant, or VA, is a highly skilled professional who provides administrative support and other services to executives, businesses, entrepreneurs, sales professionals, and others that might have more work than the time to do it.

VAs work as independent contractors.  VAs  use different forms of leading technology to communicate work assignments and the completion of them, such as, Internet, email, disk transfer, and sometimes even regular mail, overnight shipping and even pick-up and deliver work if in a local area.

VAs services will typically include email handling, database management, “shopping cart” data entry, invoicing, appointment scheduling and confirming, customer service, webinar moderator, general follow-up with customers of their client, reminder services, bulk mailings, and information processing.  They can also include such tasks like; meeting and event planning, desktop publishing, bookkeeping, web design and maintenance and paralegal tasks.  The services VAs offer to the business and corporate worlds today can be endless!

Take a moment to look at your business and the non-core tasks that are taking time each day and each week – can any of them be delegated in order to free up your time to build your business?
