A VA or VBM (Virtual Assistant or Virtual Business Manager)...
What is that exactly?
A Virtual Assistant (VA) is an independent contractor who provides administrative, organizational and/or creative services to small business owners, entrepreneurs and
independent contractors via the Internet, through email or fax, and even snail mail. They provide telephone, instant messaging as well as additionally available
technology to keep you connected and 'in-the-know'. VA's can provide all the services of an in-house assistant, without all the costs. VA's are unique, however, in that
they have a vested interest in your success. When you thrive, they thrive.
In addition, a virtual assistant businesses, such as Troska Administrative Services, can also provide partnership discounts through preferred partners and affiliates.
These partnershps and affiliations can sometimes save you hundreds of dollars off of products, services and client gifts that you would otherwise purchase yourself
during your day-to-day business operations anyway.
Because VA's are independent contractors, you only pay for the time actually spent on YOUR project. You don't pay for lunch hours, vacation time, sick time or time
that's just plain unproductive. What you do pay for is expertise, experience and professionalism. And, given the fact that on an average, employees are productive
only 60%-75% of the time, working with a VA can stretch your marketing & administrative budgets even some control in your business; even as other elements out of
your control are rising around you: gas prices, the cost of material goods, office products and technology.
Partnering with a VA saves you in the following ways:
-> No payroll taxes
-> No benefits (health insurance, vacation, sick time, etc.)
-> No additional work space needed
-> No equipment or hardware to purchase (computer, printer, desk, etc.)
-> No software to purchase
-> No or minimal training or learning curve
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
VA's typically work from their own offices; usually home-based, although some are willing to make office calls when necessary & under special circumstances. They
provide all their own equipment, supplies and software, and remain current with industry advances. And, like any other professional in their field, they seek out
continuing education to improve on their chosen specialty and talents; as well as expand on services that their clients are demanding.
Most VA's have extensive professional experience in administrative, creative services, teaching or consulting fields. And, many have worked in your particular industry
and know first hand what is necessary to be successful. Troska Administrative Services has consultants that specialize in real estate, small business administration and
general client database and transaction management services.
Before speaking with any potential virtual assistant it is important that you have thought through your personal expectations, work habits and any/all support systems
you may currently in place. Speak openly with the VA about your current systems and processes to best identify areas for improvement or small learning curve
opportunities. Take your time when deciding on the person who can best compliment you, your business, and your goals. With all the advantages to partnering with a
