Things people often ask me
Why do I need a virtual assistant?
You need a Virtual Assistant so you can offload time-consuming admin tasks and focus on more important activities like growing your business or billing more of your available hours to paying clients. A Virtual Assistant can also free up your time to spend with your family and significantly reduce stress and overwhelm.
Taking on energy-draining tasks yourself is holding you back and isn’t the best use of your time. Did you know that 79% of entrepreneurs work longer hours than anyone else, but only 33% of businesses survive for more than 10 years?
A Virtual Assistant is a better option than hiring a full-time assistant because they offer more flexibility, significantly lower costs, and no additional overheads like office space or equipment.
How does a virtual assistant work?
A Virtual Assistant works just like a regular assistant, but they work remotely from their own home on a part-time basis. This means a Virtual Assistant can provide you with the vital support you need, at up to 90% less than the cost of hiring a full-time assistant.
As your Virtual Assistant I can handle tasks that routinely steal your time, whether it’s scheduling, sorting your inbox, or writing social media posts and blogs.
How will I work with my assistant?
It’s easy to delegate ongoing or one-off tasks to me – I’ll work on your tasks and keep you up to date on progress. As your Virtual Assistant I will be dedicated to you, getting to know you and your business, and you’ll work remotely using email, Whatsapp, text, phone, video meeting or other tools you prefer to use to communicate.
What if I don't know what or how to delegate tasks?
Don’t worry! I hear this all the time! As part of your onboarding journey, I’ll explain exactly what kinds of task are best delegated to me and, if you like, I can even help you document them so we have something to refer to.
How will you understand me and my business?
During your onboarding I’ll find out all about you and your business so I can get a full picture of who you are and what you’re trying to achieve. In addition, I’m happy to have ongoing, online meetings to learn more about you and so we can get to know and trust each other.
Is my confidential information safe?
Absolutely! Confidentiality is paramount. I have Non-Disclosure Agreements available to be signed, created by legal professionals, to protect your confidential information. If you are concerned about confidential information, please contact me for further reassurance.
Is there a setup fee?
There’s no setup fee. Just pay for your first month to get started.
How easy is it to cancel or change my plan?
It’s very easy to cancel – there’s no notice period and one email or call is all it takes. You can grow or shrink your hours at a moments notice, at any time.
