When you start a new business you need to wear a range of different hats. One minute you are answering the phone while the next you are updating spreadsheets. A survey carried out amongst business managers in the USA showed that business managers can spend up to 60% of their time attending to admin related tasks and only 40% working on the actual business.
The cost of employing a full time assistant can be really quite prohibitive. Not only are you up for the direct salary cost but you also have on costs like superannuation, holiday pay and workers compensation to consider. With a virtual assistant for your Melbourne business you can get a professional trained assistant who is available to work when you need them and you only pay for what you use.
Our VA's are billed to you on a per minute basis. If you use them for 62 minutes you are billed for only that 62 minutes, not 2 hours, 1 day or whatever else you may need to pay for a physical worker. It makes really good business sense as their cost becomes a variable cost as opposed to a fixed cost.
There are a really broad range of tasks that your VA can handle. You can have them act as your personal assistant and screen all of your incoming calls. Why not have them survey your customers to find out what they like and potentially don't like about your business. You could have them carry out sales admin tasks or general admin tasks and complete a spreadsheet.
Unlike many of our competitors we only employ VA's who are based here in Australia. That way, when our VA takes a call for your Melbourne based business your customers can be comfortable in the fact that they are not dealing with an overseas call centre.
Getting a virtual assistant for your Melbourne business makes really good business sense. If you would like to find out more in terms of how our assistants can help you out and what they will cost then give our friendly sales assistants a call on 1300 893 820 and we will be happy to help.
