7 Ways VAs Can Help Cut Costs & Maximize Your Business! Continued...
5. Is Your Business Not Ready For A Full Time Employee?
This is definitely something businesses should consider! Your business might not be ready to onboard a full-time employee for what your current business needs are. VAs are able to take on any size project without the commitment of a new full time employee, all the while your businesses workflow becomes more efficient.
6. Productivity
Can a VA help increase your company's productivity? The answer is YES! Think about your least favorite tasks that you perform and now think about completely eliminating those tasks from your plate. Do you think you would become more focused and productive?
So, that we don't write a novel about the many different ways a VA can increase a businesses productivity, let's name a small few:
20-30% of a businesses revenue is lost to inefficiencies which is a direct result to not having processes in place. By hiring a VA and collaborating with them businesses will be able to establish processes, thus making their business more efficient and increasing productivity.
VAs can help streamline communications. Not all emails and chat messages received are worth responding to. Some are spam and some can be easily answered with a quick reply. A VA will be able to handle and filter communications for you to decrease the feeling of being overwhelmed.
Calendar Management is essential to businesses. Why? No matter whether a business is focused on servicing clients or producing products for sale, a business always has meetings and deadlines they must adhere to. A VA will be able to manage your meetings and deadlines to keep you business on time and on task.

7. Organization
As we all know businesses and entrepreneurs have boat loads of things that must be done on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis. Because of this, in most instances organization falls to the wayside. Why is organization key to business success and increased productivity? If documents or important communications are not readily available then businesses and teams will waste time gathering information and details, when they could have had instant access.
The key to a business's organizational structure without added personnel and costs is a VA. VAs will be able to keep communications and documents organized in a systematic structure. This can be through a variety of ways, whether via a file-share system or virtual workplace.
Common Misconceptions
Many businesses are not familiar with VAs and simply believe they are temporary fixes, but it is quite the contrary. VAs have a shared interest in your businesses success and like you they want to grow. It is in their best interest to always perform above and beyond expectations in order to maintain you as a client. They are not simply just a professional to contract to complete a project, but rather a wealth of knowledge and tools to utilize to build your business. As some say "Shared interest equals a strategic partnership!"
A powerful tool in any businesses arsenal is collaboration, where both parties have a vested interest. Allow VMAC to assist you to grow your business, reduce costs, manage your time, and increase your productivity.
