What is a Virtual Assistant?

A Virtual Assistant (VA) is a micro business owner who provides administrative and/or personal support to clients -- entrepreneurs, small business owners and independent professionals -- without having to be physically present in their office. Virtual assistance promotes long-term, collaborative partnerships between the VA and the client, and easily skips over geographical barriers with the use of e-mail, phone, fax and the Internet, that allows people to be in touch as easily as if they were sitting across the desk from one another.

Why work with a Virtual Assistant?

There are numerous benefits to working with a VA:

You get a partner who has a vested interest in your business and wants to help you succeed.
You have more time to focus on the things that are really important to you, such as working a more balanced schedule or growing your business.
You don't have to deal with with payroll taxes, or providing insurance, equipment or office space since your VA isn't on your payroll.
You pay only for the amount of time you use a VA's services (no down time) in one monthly lump-sum payment.

Why work with virtualme, inc.?

My clients choose to work with me because we share the same values and work ethic. They see me as a professional and equal partner in our business relationship, not their employee. We each find the arrangement fulfilling because I choose to work with my clients as much as they choose to work with me. My decision to work with them is based on my interest in what they do and my desire to partner with them for success!

What can I expect to pay a Virtual Assistant?

VAs price their services based on their skills, the services in which they specialize, their experience and their reputation. In general, you can expect to pay an AssistU graduate between $30 and $75 per hour. Please keep in mind that virtual assistance was not developed to be a low-cost alternative to hiring an employee, but rather a convenient one. If you're looking for cheap labor, then hiring a VA is probably not the right fit for you.

I genuinely believe that adding Lisa Englert to my team has been one of the best decisions for my company. As a business owner, I had reached a place where we simply were not going to continue to grow unless I stopped acting like a 'lone ranger' and got some help. What I find amazing about Lisa is the scope of her talents. She finds ways to streamline many of the day to day tasks that keep my business running, while also successfully taking on large scale projects including the redesign of our website, managing a rapidly growing subscription list, and implementing critical marketing campaigns that had previously remained undone due to a lack of time. Lisa has a natural grace, poise and presence, combined with a sharp insight and intelligence that make it easy for me to put jobs in her hands. She knows and understands my vision, and has made that vision her own. Lisa Englert truly cares about her clients and their success and I believe she works tirelessly to bring that success to reality.
