Why hire a virtual assistant?

In the beginning, the tasks of a company director are few and far between. But as the company grows, the executive’s commitments multiply. They are obliged to hire an assistant to help them in their work. However, in terms of finance and equipment, the cost of a resident administrative assistant is quite substantial. Hence the importance of hiring a virtual assistant.

To lighten your work

The main job of a virtual assistant is to relieve their employer of certain tasks . It can handle multiple jobs like:

  • management of the email box,
  • sorting emails,
  • organizing appointments,
  • the publication of job offers,
  • writing an email,
  • and many others.

In general, the virtual assistant can take care of all tasks that do not require the physical presence of their employer. But it is also possible to entrust other very specific tasks such as: writing content , prospecting for new clients , managing staff travel , managing social networks and various marketing activities.

To save money

Hiring a virtual assistant also helps limit employee salary costs . In fact, the salary of a resident assistant varies between €1,400 to €2,300 per month. In addition, it is necessary to provide him with adequate equipment such as a computer, a desk and everything that goes with it.

For a virtual assistant, the minimum salary is €40 per day. If you look carefully, it is even possible to find something below this price. In addition, as a freelancer, he already has the necessary materials to carry out the work. And since it is independent, you will not have to pay taxes and social security 

To save time

When tasks are well organized, the company manager can work more efficiently. He knows in advance what will happen during the day he begins. In the event of a change of program, he will be immediately notified by his virtual assistant well in advance. The manager can then give new directives and the virtual assistant arranges his schedule.

It is thus possible to save considerable time when working with the virtual assistant. His role is also to cancel appointments in place of the leader. It will notify employees who must participate in a meeting, for example. Time is used as much as possible to enable good management.

To benefit from good expertise

It is rare that a virtual assistant does not have experience in administration or marketing. Indeed, as an independent, he has gone through numerous stages and training to provide great satisfaction to his client. He accumulated experience within different companies to become a freelancer .

The company manager can entrust him with his agenda without fear. The virtual assistant will even give him advice on how to get the most out of time management , advertising management and social media management . The owner of the business will be able to pass on all the tasks that fall within his skills.
