Getting Familiar with Virtual Assistance

Getting Familiar with Virtual Assistance

In my line of work as a Mac Virtual Assistant, I hear from so many prospective clients that they are nervous and hesitant about working with a VA. Even my famous one month no ties, no commitment trial period is a bit too overwhelming for the more skittish of them.

A few years ago, I wrote about these curios but nervous potential users of Virtual Assistant services. Aside from the obvious which is price, many were unclear on how we could collaborate effectively in a virtual environment by using cloud computing like MobileMe, Dropbox, Google Apps, etc. Then, there are the misconceptions too.

For a limited time in March and April 2011, and to help the outreach from Virtual Assistant to potential client, we are offering a very special and awesome 2 week trial*, with no further commitment after that if you are not satisfied, for a flat fee of $100 for 2 hours. Your 2 hours can be used at anytime within 2 weeks after we get your signed contract. After the trial period, if you decide to sign up, our normal contract parameters apply.

We are hoping this short term test can convince you how awesome it is when you partner with a VA and make you one of our most valued long term clients.

Are you considering working virtually with an assistant, but have questions. Ask us, we are happy to help allay any concerns you may have.

*Certain conditions apply, inquire within.

Popular FAQs

A

What is a retainer?

We offer monthly retainer plans. A retainer purchases monthly hours in advance in exchange for our lowest hourly fee. It guarantees a certain amount of our business management time during the course of the month as well as entitles the client to priority scheduling. Basically you as the client pre-pay us to have availability for all of your projects to be spread evenly throughout the calendar month. Retainer clients can think ahead as far as what their administrative needs might be and plan accordingly so that we can develop a nice and even work flow.
