Integrating a virtual assistant to your business is one of the best things that you would ever do. The number one reason is that you can delegate tasks that seem repetitive and boring to your virtual staff. Examples of these mundane tasks are email marketing, calendar management, social media management, answering phone calls and text messages, and other seem-to-be-endless activities.
Hire a Freelancer or Hire from a Virtual Assistant Services Company
Both virtual assistants, either a freelancer or from a virtual assistant services company can lend a big helping hand in managing your workload. But there are significant differences between the two.
Freelancers
Honestly, the most favorable advantage you have is that you are in total control of your virtual staff. Unlike working with virtual assistant services companies, you don’t have control with their virtual assistants and you have to work with whomever the company sends.
But even the best freelancer has only a limited number of skills. As a result, it would be necessary for you to hire another virtual employee for different tasks. Tedious as it may seem but that’s the painful truth.
And because you want to hire virtual staff for 1 to 2 US dollars per hour salary, you have taken for granted the most important essence of online tasks; the quality output. Worse is, it might be too late before you realize the consequence of hiring low-quality virtual assistants in your business.
Hiring from a Reliable Virtual Assistant Services Company
Partnering with a virtual assistant company immediately gives you access to a wide range of skills. And because you are not working with a single freelancer alone, you can utilize their talents for tasks that range from boring and repetitive to diverse ones.
While it is true that not all virtual assistants who accept 1 or 2 USD per hour are of low quality, the thought of hiring them should be weighed seriously. Other factors might negatively affect your business if you associate VAs that accept this kind of low rate.
For example, while working on your tasks, somebody might offer them a higher rate. More or less, they might leave your tasks unfinished. Worst is, they might not even tell you about it. What would happen then?
