From the Editor
Virtual Assistance is a brand of administrative support that is distinctly
different from transactional secretarial services. This week, regular
contributor Shelly Chier is here to help you better understand what that
difference is all about.
To your success!

Value is Created in
the Relationship
 Value
is created in the relationship you have with your Virtual Assistant. There
are real benefits to working with a Virtual Assistant in an ongoing collaborative
relationship. You will experience a true partnership. As you build a long-term
relationship through consistency, you will reap value-added benefits in
security and trust. You can expect your business processes and systems
to improve because your Virtual Assistant will have first-hand knowledge
of your goals.
Let's focus on the one-to-one relationship available to
you as a small business ower with another small business owner. If you
have five equally experienced and skilled people competing for your business,
don't you agree that the individual who is capable and willing to build
a long-term relationship with you would rise to the top above the others?
The same benefits just don't exist when hopping from project to project,
or one "hired help" to another. Instead, the spattered, short-term
encounters may actually cause more work and money.
Visit the Virtual
Assistance Chamber of Commerce to learn more about the Virtual
Assistance profession. Search the Virtual
Assistant Directory. You will find that each Virtual Assistant
offers her or his own unique skills and experience. Choose the top five
who appeal to you and match your skill set needs, then contact each for
a consultation so you can really dig in to the stuff that is going to
be the glue in your partnership.
The relationship you have with your Virtual Assistant is
the thing that will help you build up. Who wouldn't want a person devoted
to helping them be the best they can be? It isn't just about performing
the tasks, but also about genuine commitment and continuity of care. Let's
face it, when you partner with a Virtual Assistant, it's a win-win situation
for both of you. Your decision will naturally affect your bottom-line
in a postive way. The Virtual Assistant profession isn't meant to develop
high turn-around volume clients, but instead long-lasting productive relationships.
Think about other business relationships you have. Do you
want to communicate with a variety of professionals in any given field,
or would you rather communicate with one professional who knows your individual
needs and goals? Relationships are built over time, and they can be very
rewarding for both parties involved.
RESOURCE: To begin your journey of business
growth, consult the VACOC Virtual
Assistant Directory or place a Request
for Partnership. The Client's
Guide to Virtual Assistants will give you all the information
you need to know about Virtual Assistants.
