5 Signs Your Business Needs A Virtual Assistant

Times are changing and so is the scope of remote working. There is now an industry of personal assistants that can assist you at the drop of a hat, without the commitment of an office and all the tedious details that come with it. With IdealPa you can now hire help with those mind-numbing admin tasks so you can focus on the bigger picture - your business. 

But, how do you know your business is ready for a virtual assistant? Here are five signs a personal assistant can help you achieve your goals quickly and efficiently; 

1. The pile of paperwork on your desk is getting higher and higher

And the red dot on your email keeps angrily flashing at you, constantly reminding you of the mountain of emails that are currently piling up in your inbox. A virtual assistant can help end the email avalanche, from inbox chaos to order and organised efficiency. By handling both your diary and email management, and your general administration tasks, a virtual assistant will sort, prioritise and respond to your emails on your behalf. Make sure that nothing important slips through the cracks, freeing up your time to focus on the more important things like reducing your stress and increasing your productivity. 

2. You work non stop - evenings, weekends - just to keep on top of everything

Your work-life balance feels like a distant memory, tirelessly working evenings and weekends to make sure nothing falls behind. This is where a virtual personal assistant can give you some semblance of a normal life. They can effectively give you back office support so you never miss an invoice, an appointment or email. Reclaim your evenings and weekends without the dreaded burnout and focus on what matters most to you, whether that is professionally, personally or both.

3. Those big ideas of yours aren’t going anywhere because you are busy doing admin (again!) 

So your business grows, you need to be able to be your most productive self but it can be hard to do if your mind is on creating and sending that invoice to a client, booking that family holiday your other half if pestering you about - or your phone is once again ringing as you have just sat down. A virtual assistant can help you with payment collection assistance, travel management (both professionally and personally) and handle all your calls. 

4. You don’t want the commitment of a salaried assistant

You only need someone to help you with your bookkeeping or support with your data entry and CRM, so why waste your resources when you can hire a virtual assistant? Hassle free services means you can hire an assistant for specific tasks without the commitment. Giving you more resources and cash flow to sink into your business. 

5. Your business is growing rapidly and you need help ASAP!

The digital world is evolving rapidly, and it can be used to leverage your business growth. With 24/7 availability, a virtual assistant can be a phone call away. By leveraging digital tools and communication platforms they can collaborate with you and your workforce. VAs can also quickly adapt to your changing needs and increased workload, giving you immediate support during periods of expansion without the lengthy hiring process.
