Taking the Next Call
Virtual Assistants as Administrative Assistants
Your schedule is busy and hectic.  Not only is it busy, but it is becoming even more stressful.  You have fifty things to do in one day, but most of the time, these are interrupted by talking on the phone or having to take in service calls.  Happy with the problem, you decide that it is time to expand. 
In your expansion, you look at the option of hiring an administrative assistant.  However, this takes paperwork, the need to have someone in an office space all of the time, and complicated factors, such as payroll.  An alternative that seems to be more effective is a virtual assistant.  By doing this, you will have the ability to get all of the administration taken care of, without having to worry about hiring an actual employee. 
The ability to use a virtual assistant as an administrative assistant is as simple as making sure that there is an understanding of the vision of your business.  A virtual assistant will be able to take in all of the calls that you need, answer e-mails, send faxes, and do any type of secretariat work that you did.  They can also do some of the simpler tasks, such as keep track of appointments and pick up the mail so that you dont have to worry about it.  This way, you dont have to worry about any of the administrative needs and can simply focus on offering services. 
One of the important parts to keep in mind about hiring a virtual assistant as an administrative assistant is that there will be an expectation to create a partnership.  This is because the virtual assistant, while working remotely, will be working continuously with you.  This is an important thing to keep in mind, especially if you are looking for administrative duties that include more personal needs, such as handling reservations and appointments. 
If you want to take out the small stuff for your daily schedule, then finding a virtual assistant is a good key.  This will allow you and your business to take a step up without the problem of being scattered because of the lack of time.  If you want someone who will offer you the best of an office without an office, a virtual assistant is the one who can put in the paperwork for you.
