If you
are considering outsourcing your business
support, administrative, web or design
needs,
you've come to the right spot. And congratulations, you have made a
sound-as-a-pound
financial decision! Many small business owners just don’t
have the time,
resources or cash to appoint a full-time office
assistant (PA, EA or
secretary), graphic designer or marketing assistant. Scenario:
in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), on average, an office assistant
works 40 hours per week. Well, the total hours actually worked (less
tea/coffee-breaks, extra-hour lunch, office-socialising) is more likely
to be
25 hours. A saving of at least 1560AED
($425) p/w by hiring a Virtual
Assistant (VA). If you are interested in the complete Cost
Comparison
of hiring a Virtual Assistant versus employing a full-time employee, email
me.
The
global work environment changed radically over the past decade.
Downsizing, making use of mass outsourcing services and keeping
non-core costs to a minimum has become crucial part of the survival
game in the new virtual driven business world. The financial savings and benefits when hiring a VA instead of a full time employee or going through an agent when you need someone to cover for maternity
leave, or perhaps a part-time
office manager, or an off-site administrator
has become a convenient and cost-effective alternative for progressive
entrepreneurs and small business owners. You will then agree with me
that to outsource your admin, web and
marketing needs to a VA is one of the smarter and more economical
decisions you'll make this year, considering the current global
recession.
Express-VA offers a variety of fee schedules and packages, ranging from
a per hour PAY-AS-YOU-GO, customised Web Design packages, as well as three different monthly RETAINER
packages.
Individual services' FEES are listed on the Corporate, Secretarial and Personal Assistance service pages. And if you have not clicked on the GIF-image on the right that tells you what
express-VA can do for you in 1-HOUR go ahead.
It
is old news: you can outsource almost any function over
the Web!
That is why VAs are highly sought after and why it is a thriving
industry in the USA, Canada, UK, Australia and globally. Hiring a VA
had become the number 1 admin outsourcing solution for progressive
entrepreneurs and small business owners. Still not
convinced, see for yourself - below are just some of the articles out
there to prove the point:

cup-o, relax, take your time and start exploring express-VA's
website. Loads
of doors to
open, rooms to enter;
rooms full

Read
all about express-VA
(your vitual assistant in Dubai, UAE), but make sure you pop
into the Who's Your VA room to
meet your Virtual Assistant (VA) personally.
See what clients say about her in the Testimonials
sholder.
If you have questions
at any stage, like ie what is a virtual assistant,
peep into the FAQs
room,
if the answer is not on the wall, demand an answer immediately by
popping express-VA an email.
If you are interested in virtual
assistant services
you will be more than interested in the fees
(got you) and be sure you familiarise
yourself with the benefits of
using a VA.
The double
yum-yum of getting a VA
to join your business means more
free time
topped with less
expenses!
Your own personal VA can offer you all the
support and services that
you
can get from a
full-time:
personal assistant,
executive assistant, office administrator, office manager,
etc. If
you have problems getting your head around what
services are possible and
impossible for an off-site administrator,
email
express-VA with a
challenging question and be ready for a simple solution!
Lets get back on
track: never be fooled just by the services on
offer,
always check-up
on a VA's privacy
statement, confidentiality
policy (beware,
CCTV), as well as terms
and conditions.
But
if you are only here to broaden
your horizons,
do not hesitate to open the door of knowledge,
it is packed with
useful virtual office
resources, Mr Owl will be watching you though.
The A-Z of interests
takes you to more rooms, more resources, and there just
might be something nutritious
to
take-away.
Visit again, especially Resources, this
room is a work-in-progress. The already action-packed
Calendar 2010 will be updated on a regular
basis... more to come....
