It's expensive! Not only do you have to
pay for these expenses, you're paying for them during breaks and even when
there's down time and little work for the employee to do. Do you want to
look for extra work for an employee whom you've guaranteed a set number of hours
each week?
A Virtual Assistant is a business owner and
professional. VA's pay their own expenses, taxes, and benefits. Your
Virtual Assistant's time is 100% productive. You pay only for the time you
need...no downtime or breaks.
Virtual Assistants frequently offer two types
of payment plans. You might pay-as-you-go and pay for only the amount of
work you actually have in a given month. Another alternative is a retainer
plan in which you pay a preset fee for a certain amount of the VA's time each
month, usually at a discounted rate. Maybe you only need ten hours of your VA's
time each month. Maybe you need 20. You decide based upon your
needs.
