How does this actually work?
How can we work together if we are not in the same place? How does this actually work? How can we work together if we are not in the same place? Contact with the client is usually by email, telephone, fax or post, whichever method the client prefers. If possible, there is an initial meeting where the client's needs are discussed. After that, clients forward their instructions by their preferred method, the instructions are confirmed back, and then the work is carried out. In many businesses, people spend a lot of time travelling, attending meetings, even working from home, giving their PAs instructions via telephone or email. Working with a Virtual Assistant is the same, except the Virtual Assistant sits in their own office, rather than the same office as their client What benefits are there to me? There are many benefits to using a Virtual Assistant. As I am self-employed, there is no need to worry about paying a full-time salary. You pay only for the time you use. Nor do you need to pay tax, national insurance, holiday or sickness pay. When you delegate your administration tasks to me, you have more of your valuable time available to concentrate on your business. Your evenings, once spent dealing with administration, are now free giving you a better work-life balance. Just imagine what you could do if you had more time! For traditional personal assistance/secretarial services, the charges are £32 per hour. For full pricing details, however, please click here How do you calculate how much time you spend on client work? I use a recording system to monitor the amount of time spent on client work. It works on a punch in-punch out basis and provides an accurate record of time spent on client work. Clients receive a breakdown of time with their invoice – issued on a monthly basis. What if I don’t have the same amount of work each week? What if I need lots of help one week and nothing the next? Swan Virtual Assistance tailors its service to its clients’ needs. There is no need for regularity. There is no minimum number of hours needed. Nor are you restricted to working on specific week days. You might need help on a Monday one week for a couple of hours, but a Thursday the next, maybe for only 30 minutes. Whatever you need - when you need it. What if I have a one-off project? Swan Virtual Assistance provides help when you need it. Whether you have a one-off project, or a need for regular support, Swan Virtual Assistance can help. What if I don’t have any office space? Swan Virtual Assistance has its own fully-equipped office so clients don’t need to provide any office space. What about tax and national insurance? I am self-employed which means that clients don’t need to worry about tax or national insurance implications. Nor do clients need to pay me an annual salary. They only pay only for the time they use. How can you open my post if you don’t sit in my office? Your business post can be redirected to Swan Virtual Assistance’s address and I will deal with it, letting you know if there is anything of which you need to be aware. What if I need the minutes taking at a meeting? Call me to discuss how I can help. How do I find out more? I have other questions which are not listed here.
