Remote Admin Services Offers Virtual Administrative Assistance to Hunterdon & Bucks Cntys And Beyond

March 5, 2008 - PRLog -- (Milford, NJ) - When Lisa George left the rat race of Corporate America, to be at home for her twins she still wanted to connect with others.  As an administrative assistant with more than 20 years of experience, she had worked in areas diverse as running the office of a church, a real estate management company, to assisting scientists at a pharmaceutical company with their paperwork. Her solution: She would embrace the power of Internet technologies to start up Remote Admin Services (http://remoteadminservices.com), a virtual administrative assistance service.

Though virtual assistance comes in many forms and specialties, a virtual assistant (VA) primarily conducts administrative, secretarial and clerical duties from their own office rather than in the client's place of business. By operating in this manner they are considered to be an independent contractor. Utilizing a virtual assistant offers many advantages: The business owner is not responsible for payroll, benefits, taxes, sick/vacation time or the space and equipment necessary for an on-site employee.  Therefore, a virtual assistant is an especially cost-effective solution.  They communicate with clients via telephone, email, fax, and other technologies including VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) services such as Skype.

Is there really a need for Virtual Assistance? The answer: A resounding, “Yes”! In a recent Harris Poll, 64 percent of Americans said they would happily outsource a variety of tasks.  Seventy-three percent believed there are benefits to hiring a virtual assistant and 34 percent felt their job performance would improve.  Further, 55 percent felt that in doing so they would have more time to attend to more important tasks and errands.  Finally, 52 percent said they would like to have more time to spend with family and friends.

Unsure if virtual assistance is right for your business? Ms. George suggests, “The best way to find out if working with a virtual assistance would be a good fit is to give the VA a small project or task.  Make it something that might otherwise be a hassle or interfere with your growing business.  Then, judge for yourself. How fast did the virtual assistant respond? Was the finished product or service accurate? Did the VA ask pertinent questions to assure that the work would be done correctly?”

She continues, “The beauty of utilizing a virtual assistant is that they can cater to your specifications and budget. For example, if you need a VA for a small task, an hourly rate might be best.  If you have a specific project, you might consider negotiating a one-time fee.  Long-term, the most cost-effective way would be on a retainer. In doing so, the virtual assistant sets aside a fixed set of hours each month; often this can result in a discount.”

Non-profit organizations can also benefit.  Remote Admin Services automatically gives a discount upon proof of their status.

Remote Admin Services offers a wide variety of general administrative work including word processing, calendar maintenance, spreadsheets and PowerPoint presentations. More complex tasks such as blog setup and updating, Internet research, as well as simple webpage design using Office Live is available.
