Fight Back Recession With Virtual Assistants
It seems that everywhere we turn these days there is talk of another looming recession
. Yikes! What to do? Where to turn? What about virtual assistance and virtual staffing? The good news is those tools exist now, which didnt exist in recessions past, to help businesses through these tough times. In the old days a recession meant certain death for a good many businesses. Today, it doesnt have to!
For years now companies have embraced the concept of hiring virtual assistants through virtual staffing agencies in order to save on payroll and bricks and mortar overhead costs. Perhaps the time has come for your company to give virtual work a go so when the crunch strikes your business is primed and ready for whatever comes next.
What happens during a recession? Typically a company may lay workers off and cut jobs to save payroll money as well as other costs like computers, desks, electricity, telephone bills, etc. This is a necessary evil to ensure that the company can survive through the down economy.
But even in a poor economy, companies still need the services of certain personnel to operate their businesses. Companies need order takers, customer service personnel, receptionists, data entry workers, appointment setters, warm callers, and so on. So how can one company survive a recession, still get all of those necessary tasks done, and keep growing their businesses? Hiring virtual assistants can be the answer you are looking for.
With Virtual Assistants working for your company, you can ditch the high cost of sustaining office space; pass on the transportation allowances you give your staff; forego buying a bunch of expensive office equipment for everyone; stop paying employee income tax and health insurance; forget about listening to the latest boy friend woes; never deal with the employee mentality again and have your workers thank you for the work.
Utopia right? Nope, just hiring virtually. When you hire a Virtual Assistant through a virtual staffing agency heres what happens:
When you call to discuss your needs your calls are answered promptly and courteously
You discuss the tasks in need of completion and your businesss needs with a qualified staffing consultant who is eager to understand your business and your needs
Once youve given the go ahead the consultant searches the Virtual Assistant database for the best possible virtual assistant for you
The virtual assistant is assigned to perform your businesss task
You immediately begin working one-on-one with the virtual assistant
She reports to you daily letting you know what work shes done and cheerfully thanks you for giving her the work
She only clocks in when shes working on your tasks. No need to pay for idle time as in the case of regular employees waiting at their desks and waiting for their tasks
Shell be on call throughout the day and anytime of the week but will not bill you unless you have tasks for her to work on
Of course the Virtual Assistant is an independent contractor so you wont need to pay for health insurance, vacation time, sick time, office space, computers, desks, or even a lunch break.
You mentioned growth. What about the growth? Quite simple. What is the number one thing most businesses are missing during a recession? Cash. Cold hard cash. If youre saving money on office expenditures and have reduced your payroll to only the essentials, what should you have more of? Cash! And what does a greater amount of cash allow a business to do? GROW! Market more, sell more and grow!
As if there is a need for any more pluses in hiring a Virtual Assistant, your company will make very little impact on the environment because working with a Virtual Assistant means fewer spaces, less pollution and less power consumption when work is done through the virtual space.
A company hiring Virtual Assistants can realize savings of 87% per year by avoiding the big office and full-time employees! Plus workers are happier because they work from home; enjoy greater flexibility leading to greater loyalty, greater productivity, and less down time.
