10 Reasons Why

VA services, or services provided by a "Virtual Assistant", are exploding in almost
every industry and occupation where there are many time consuming,
repetitive030_SV_Oﬃce-XL.jpg tasks that need to be done. Now, more than ever,
modern technology is making it easier to do work “virtually”, or over the internet.
It doesn't matter if your co-workers are sitting next to you or 10,000 miles away.
Cloud computing and solutions such as Google Docs and Dropbox are making it
easier than ever to collaborate in real-time, from all four corners of the world. VA
services make more sense today than ever before.

Media attention has also contributed significantly to the mainstreaming of Virtual
Assistants, outsourcing, and staff leasing services. The term “Virtual Assistant”, or
“VA”, was first popularized by bestselling author Timothy Ferriss in his New York
Times Bestseller “The 4-Hour Work Week”. In the book, Tim used his VA’s ingeniously,
for a variety of personal and business tasks. The book caused an increase in demand
for these types of services - which has led many people to want to become a Virtual
Assistant. Besides this best selling must-read there are many other reasons why
Virtual Assistants are becoming as normal in the office as the coffee machine.

Here are Ten(10) Reasons Why Virtual
Assistant Services are BOOMING
Worldwide:

Everyone likes saving money, so its easy to see why the number one reason people
outsource and hire virtually is to reduce their labor cost and save money. Most
Virtual Assistants are located oﬀshore in countries like the Philippines where the
cost of living and consequently the cost of labor is much cheaper. Many CEOs report
that they can hire 2-3 people virtually for the price of one in-house employee.
1. Cost

Virtual Personal Assistants can also help with personal and business tasks such as
appointment setting, booking airlines tickets or blogging. A Real Estate Virtual
Assistant can help a realtor in California ﬁnd more listings and close more deals. A
Data Entry Virtual Assistant can help a lawyer process more cases per month.
Independent Contractors are using VA’s to help them set appointments and stay
organized. In all facets of the American workforce outsourcing work to Virtual
Assistants is becoming commonplace.
2. Flexibility

Lets face it, its too flip’n easy to get your tail sued off in the USA! Lawsuits, many of
which are frivolous, destroy companies of all shapes and sizes on a regular basis.
Outsourcing helps eliminate and/or mitigate the risks associated with employee
related lawsuits. If your employee slips on a banana skin in the office, you are liable,
if that happens overseas, your outsourcing partner is liable.
3. Reduced Risks of Lawsuits

Finding, attracting and retaining top talent has always been a fundamental business
imperative. Through smart outsourcing of tasks to a Virtual Assistant, or a team of
people working oﬀshore, companies can enjoy access to a larger talent pool and a
more sustainable source of skilled labor than is often available at home.
4. Improved Access to Top Talent

Hiring a Virtual Assistant or leasing staﬀ in the Philippines is not merely a cost-
cutting tool, it is also a strategy to energize your business and achieve organizational
transformation. Hiring a VA can often bring a unique perspective and a fresh set of
eyes to an organization. Many times a Virtual Assistant becomes an indispensable
agent of change for a company that may not have achieved that change on its own.
5. Change Catalyst

A Virtual Assistant may improve your company’s customer service, making your
customers happier and more loyal. Lets say your company once answered the
phones during normal office hours, 8-10 hours per day, but with a VA the phones
can now be answered 24/7, around the clock - thats a massive improvement! VA’s
may also create new and improved workflow systems that increase efficiencies and
drive errors out of processes.
6. Improved Quality of Services

Outsourcing time-consuming tasks to a Virtual Assistant in the Philippines allows
business owners to focus on core business issues while leaving the menial tasks to
someone else. You want to spend time working ON your business, not IN your
business. You do what you do best, leaving the “busy work” to someone else.
7. Sharper Focus

Healthcare costs are soaring in the United States putting more pressure on
businesses to cut costs by outsourcing work to Virtual Assistants. Outsourcing
companies usually provide a ﬁxed rate per person, per month, which includes all
costs including healthcare, insurance, and beneﬁts.
8. Healthcare Costs are Soaring

Companies partner with highly specialized Virtual Assistants to seamlessly augment
in-house workforce to spur innovation and change.
9. Greater Innovation

Individuals may wish to outsource their work to optimize their work-life balance and
create more leisure time. In today’s hectic and demanding world where there never
seem to be enough hours in the day this ability is more important than it has ever
been.
10. Improved Work/Life Balance

The use of Virtual Assistants worldwide is booming, driven mostly by the desire of
business owners to cut costs and become more efficient. However, companies hire
Virtual Assistants for a wide variety of reasons. Bottlenecks in operations or in sales
and marketing processes can hinder the growth of a company. If properly executed,
hiring Virtual Assistants and outsourcing processes to a qualified partner can help
solve these problems, making your company more efficient, scalable, and profitable.
