Savvy Small Business Owners are taking advantage of a new resource to help grow their business while reducing stress and cutting costs.
TEWKSBURY TOWNSHIP, NJ April 2007 - Savvy Small Business Owners who recognize the value of having more time to devote to profit producing tasks, while at the same time lowering overhead costs have partnered with "Offsite Assistants" (also known as "Virtual Assistants") for their administrative needs.
The administrative tasks of running a business significantly reduce the amount of time most business owners have on developing and marketing their business. In the past, small business owners have either performed the tasks themselves, hired part or full-time employees or contracted with temporary employment agencies to get the job done. However, the cost of lost time and the overall expense of employees notably affect your bottom line. By leveraging technology to have their administrative needs attended to, small business owners are reaping the benefits of added time and money they otherwise would not have.
One local Offsite Assistant, Cheryl Zarra, points out a few of the many benefits of partnering with an Offsite Assistant.
"In a world where image is everything, hiring an offsite assistant can make a small company seem larger or help a self-employed person appear to have a staff. You'll have no overhead costs such as office space and equipment, benefit packages or lost time due to paid vacations, holidays or sick time associated with a traditional employee. While you'll find that the rate of an Offsite Assistant is slightly higher than that of an employee, when you take into consideration the overhead costs you would extend to an employee, the Offsite Assistant actually saves you money. When you partner with my company, The Green Desk, LLC, you are only billed for time actually spent on your project. We also have discounts for services taken on a monthly retainer. These special rates include carry over hours so if you over booked your time you can carry over a certain number of hours to the next month."
So what is an Offsite Assistant? They are independent contractors who perform administrative duties for clients on an hourly, per project or retainer basis. Work is sent to the assistant by email, fax, regular mail or phone. If the client is local then face-to-face meetings can be arranged at no cost to the client.
