Local Virtual Assistant Receives Entrepreneurial Recognition

Aug. 4, 2009 - PRLog -- LISKEARD, CORNWALL, UK – Dawn Lane, owner of Your Office Online, announced today that she is the recipient of the VAccolade Business Entrepreneur Award.

The VAccolade Award not only recognises participation at VAnetworking, the world’s largest member-based Virtual Assistant networking association online, but also recognises the professionalism with which Lane presents herself on the Web, thereby giving her more credibility among other Virtual Assistants.

“Virtual Assistants (VAs) are business owners who work from their own offices providing professional support, services and skills to their clients via phone, fax and Internet-based technology. Partnering with a VA reduces stress, protects cash flow, eliminates administrative hassles, and enables business people to find the success they originally set out to achieve. A VA is your right-hand person helping you to succeed in your business. The irony is you may never meet your VA as odds are they live nowhere near you!” (definition from www.VAnetworking.com).

Lane specializes in helping not-for-profit organisations and businesses in the medical sector, and is a home-based administrative professional providing various online services to her clients. She started her Virtual Assistance career in 2006 when she recognised that there was a gap in the UK market for administrative support to business people who were always away from their office, but who didn’t need a full time office based secretary.

In a recent survey from VAnetworking, the United States has the largest number of VAs, followed by Canada, Australia and Europe. Clients pay only for time spent on their projects. There’s no need to pay for taxes, benefits, equipment, etc. VAs are hired on an hourly or a monthly retainer basis.
