| What is a Virtual Assistant? |
 | Virtual Assistants are home-based entrepreneurs or home based employees who provide business professionals with a wide range of office tasks, from administrative support to web design & maintenance. Virtual Assistants are able to provide professional, creative assistance without ever having to go into the client's office. They work in a virtual environment by communicating and working using advance technology, such as email, fax, internet and interactive web conferencing. A virtual assistant will work with their clients to help alleviate some of these administrative tasks, allowing them to free up their time to concentrate on generating revenue and building their businesses. |
Why hire a Virtual Assistant?
|
 | It is more cost effective. You only pay for the hours or projects you need. A Virtual Assistant is not an employee so you do not have to provide space, there is no furniture or equipment cost, no costs associated with employees, such as medical benefits payroll taxes, worker's compensation, vacation or sick leave, no training time, no downtime costs and most of all YOU PAY ONLY FOR 100% PRODUCTIVE TIME. |
| What is the cost of hiring a Virtual Assistant? |
 | The cost of hiring a Virtual Assistant depends on the complexity of the responsibilities you delegate. Most Virtual Assistants cost between $35-$75 per hour, however All Source Professionals feels our rates are very competitive and you will be pleased with the high quality of services for the price. |
| What if I only need the services of a Virtual Assistant occasionally? |
 | No problem. As the client it is entirely up to you as to how often they work with you. A Virtual Assistant is completely flexible and works for you only when YOU need them. That may be just for one or two hours a week; once every six months; or as your business needs dictate. If you require office support on a regular basis we offer a retainer package for our Virtual Assistants? |
| How is work sent or received? |
 | Work is typically sent and received via email or fax. Work can also be uploaded via interactive web conferencing for the Virtual Assistant and client to communicate before any final work is sent. Overnight delivery is also an option. |
| How do I keep in touch with my Virtual Assistant? |
 | Since your Virtual Assistant is working virtually, and sometimes not even in the same state as you, it's not always possible to have face to face contact. However, there are many other ways for you to keep in touch via telephone, email, instant messenger, and on-line meeting rooms are just a few other ways to maintain contact between client and Virtual Assistant. |
