What is a Virtual Assistant? A Virtual Assistant is a person with an office administration/management, secretarial, PA, bookkeeper, web designer background etc Who works from a virtual location Assisting clients with work on an as needed basis The client will only pay for the work that the VA completes for them No employee expenses, medical aid, pension, leave etc VAs carry the cost of stationery, computer repairs, paper, office equipment etc A VA is an independent business owner 15 AMF Typing Services

A Virtual Assistant is a person who works for many clients, providing office administration tasks, communicates with clients via telephone, email, Skype We may never meet our clients face to face A person who works independently from his/her own virtual office An office administration person, with at least 5 years of office experience as a PA/Secretary or Office Manager A person who can work alone A person with exceptional time management and prioritisation skills Someone who can run an office and liaise with clients on an ongoing basis Someone with a bit of management experience and can learn quickly and who is at ease with software Virtual Assistants need to be pro-active and assertive Virtual Assistants are Business Owners, who run their own companies, do their own marketing, networking, debt collection etc ‘My Definition of what a Virtual Assistant is’: 16 AMF Typing Services

Slide 17:

Is the recession affecting your business? This is where a VA can assist… Why would I need a VA? 17 AMF Typing Services
