What is a virtual assistant? Well that depends on who you ask. Basically a virtual assistant is an independent contractor who works remotely or virtually rather than in the office. Virtual Assistants are really entrepreneurs who work with a group of clients to support them as needed with various projects. Virtual Assistants provide their own equipment, software, etc. The great thing about a virtual employee is that they offer flexibility. Many virtual assistants can offer options that fit the individual needs of clients, rather than the mold of a traditional office setting. Additionally virtual assistants may have special skills that are only needed on a project basis rather than a set number of hours per week. This is an additional benefit of using a virtual assistant, you can use them as needed. A virtual assistant can offer many types of skills, such as administrative support, marketing, transaction management, web site design & maintenance, listing support, contact & lead management, desktop publishing, event planning, the list goes on and on. The idea is that communication is key to working virtually. With today's technology communication should never be a problem, from phone, fax, email, instant messages, intranets (shared networks online), etc sharing vital information is simple & easy. Even for those who are not technology savvy, it is possible, because a good virtual assistant can help with all the set up to get you working smoothly together.For more information see our site at http://www.virtu-assist.com/ and see more FAQ's concerning virtual assistants!
