What is a Virtual Assistant and why do I need one for my pet business?
The most valuable asset you have in your pet business is time. Many business owners spend their day carrying out administrative tasks. Thorough email and calendar management, for example, is vital to your business. However, they can also suck your entire day away.
Working IN your business instead of ON your business reduces your chance of successfully increasing profits and growing the company. As a pet business owner, you should be spending your time doing what you truly love, working with and for your pet pals.
A Virtual assistant (VAs) is an independent contractor who provides administrative, creative, and technical services. A VA offers support that will save you time, money, and headaches. You can hire a VA to work on a specific task or project. You can also partner with a VA on an ongoing basis to help ensure that your To-Do List is completed each day.
While a VA’s hourly rate is typically higher than an employee, they will ultimately save you money in the long run. How, you ask? You will only pay for the time and services that the VA provides. In addition, a VA typically works from their own home office with their own equipment. Thus, you eliminate paying for those extra expenses. No brick and mortar office necessary. Likewise, you won’t pay for extra costly benefits such as health insurance, sick leave or retirement plans.
A VA can be the difference between your Pet Business surviving and thriving. While your VA handles the daily grind, you focus your time on bringing in more clients. Take the higher-level approach to your business and let your VA manage your administrative needs.
Your Pet Pals will Thank You for it!
