Do you wish you could have someone to help reduce your admin workload…..?
Vicki Admin Fairy could be the answer to all your problems.
When you started out running your own business, I bet you thought you could do everything yourself. (are you nodding your head now ?) 😊
But now you are desperately looking for someone to help lighten the load for you, so you can get your weekends and evenings back relaxing, and having important “me” time, and focusing on your core business tasks.
Your first thought of getting more time back might be to employ someone on a full or part-time basis to do all your administrative tasks for you. This can be a daunting process. You have to produce the advert, trawl through all the C.V.s’, do interviews, then decide who is the right person for the job. Not to mention having to keep track of the hours they work, pay them each month, set up PAYE. The list goes on.
This wasn’t what you wanted – You just wanted someone to lighten your load not add to it 😊
DON’T PANIC VICKI ADMIN FAIRY IS HERE !
But what is the difference between a VIRTUAL ASSISTANT and an EMPLOYEE I hear you ask? Let me explain
An employee. This is an individual you recruit as a permanent member of your staff to perform a specific role. They usually work physically alongside you at a desk within your premises. You pay them a salary and offer a range of employee benefits.
A Virtual Assistant. This is an independent worker whom you contract to undertake specific tasks for you from a remote location. You pay them a fee based on the work performed. That’s it. They look after themselves in most other respects.
Why you should hire a Virtual Assistant
Now, your Virtual Assistant may not be able to physically deliver a coffee to your desk every morning, but there are many other benefits of recruiting flexible, remote support. Here we outline five of the biggest benefits of choosing to hire a Virtual Assistant over a permanent staff member.
1. 🌟A Virtual Assistant can adapt to fluctuations in workload 🌟
Do you have seasonal busy periods, but some quieter times in between? Maybe you have new product plans on the horizon? Or is there a big event in your calendar that’s going to take more than a bit of overtime to deliver? Using a Virtual Assistant gives you the flexibility to scale up support when you need it and reduce it when things calm down.
2. 🌟 Employing staff is usually more expensive 🌟
Have you considered the total cost of employing a permanent member of staff? To start with, they’ll need space at your premises, a desk, IT equipment and a phone line as a minimum. Add to this their NI costs, various benefits, holiday pay and sickness cover. Suddenly, it becomes blatantly clear that a salary is only part of the cost of a new member of staff. In contrast, a Virtual Assistant comes with zero overheads. All you pay is their fee.
3. 🌟 You get more skills and experience for your money 🌟
With a Virtual Assistant, you often get much more than an administrator that works from home. They come with all the skills you need. No further training is required. They also offer a whole range of add-on specialist skills that go way beyond what you probably expect from an administrator. This may be social media management, project management, event planning or email marketing for example.
The years of experience and enhanced skillset you can find in a Virtual Assistant are often beyond what you can afford to pay for in a permanent employee. So, before you place a job ad, ask yourself this – is the salary you’re able to offer going to attract an employee with all the skills you really need? Can you really afford to invest in the training to help a new employee develop all of the skills for the job?
4. 🌟 Virtual Assistants understand running a business 🌟
Virtual Assistants are also business owners themselves. They understand the pressure and the rewards. They can use this experience to help you run your operations more smoothly.
