9 Reason you should hire a Concierge/Virtual Assistant

Faced with economic changes, businesses are intensely in quest to cut down costs. However, successfully operating and administering a business without support can cause an overwhelming feeling of frustration. This presents the twofold predicament: the need for assistance and the cost of hiring and maintaining employees. A Virtual Assistant/Personal Concierge is the solution to your predicament. With the assistance and collaboration of a VA/PC your business will essentially progress, while saving you excessive expenditures. Here's why you should hire a Concierge/ Virtual Assistant today:

  1. You'll stop working long hours, struggling with stringent deadlines, and working hard to grow your business.

    With a VA/PC you will have a skill profession to delegate duties to. This allows you time to spend time on what matters most. Whether its hobbies, business, and/or family, you
    handle business, while we sweat the monotonous tasks.

  2. You'll gain an assistant, not an employee, while saving on expenses.

    With a VA/PC, you don't have to provide a workstation, equipment, support, pension, deal with payroll or worry about health & safety aspects.  On top of that, you don't have to pay for breaks, sick time, holidays, uniforms, and specialized clothing. 

  3. You are only charged for the actual work performed.

    We use daily task sheets, which means that you will receive an itemized statement of how much time is spent on assignments. You are only charged for time spent working directly on your assignments.

  4. We work quickly and efficiently.

    As experienced professionals, we possess excellent organizational and time management skills. We work quickly and efficiently. Thus, cutting down time spent completing tasks and keeping your costs as low as possible.

    Even when using the services for just two hours, there is a significant notice in the amount of errand running and personal assistances received. For example: $25.00 per hour x2hour=$50.00.


     

  5. We are consistently building ongoing relationship.

    We are always building relationships. We network with various professionals. Whether using our services regularly or as needed, you will always have the assurance that you are getting a cost-effective, professional, and a virtual pleasant face. Rather than training temps or hiring employees, anytime you want something done, tell us and we'll advocate for you.

  6. You will always have accessibility.

    You can contact us from anywhere in the world and at anytime (after hours and during holidays when circumstances deem necessary). With technology, all forms of communication are accomplished through mail, telephone, fax, email, and internet. However, when necessary some services can be performed onsite. With the simple push of a button, your request(s) are sent with your instructions, received, and returned. 

  7. You are not obligated to continue.

    The only requirements for most VA/PCs are to complete the client profile, so that they may better serve you. There are no obligations to continue. You may stop the services at anytime and for any reason(s).


     

  8. Personalized Services

    Our sole purposes are to assistant and support you in exhibiting excellence. When you look good, we look good. Your VA/PC we will anticipate your needs, respond to general inquiries, and provide research and information.

We perform projects, clerical and administrative tasks, concierge duties, and irregular work (such as errand running and personal assistance). Basically, whatever you need and we'll oblige!


     

  9. Guaranteed absolute privacy and excellence.

    In terms of security, we have anti-virus software on our computers and we always back up all work individually. Our computers are password protected, along with all important files. 

    In terms of confidentiality, our code of ethics is to never discuss our work or correlation in detail with anyone.  We understand the importance of the presentation of professionalism. As a matter of fact we have clients that do not want anyone knowing that they use a virtual personal assistant, which is why we protect and guarantee our clients' privacy totally.  If we are required to act as a liaison, we will present ourselves as your company with your company brand, with your signed permission to do so. We are more than happy to sign a standard non-disclosure or confidentiality agreement, if required.
