Virtual Work Partners (sometimes Virtual
Assistants) are
entrepreneurs, highly skilled SMEs (subject matter experts) in their
professions, providing solid benefits to the bottom lines of those
they assist. We possess the solid core competencies
necessary to provide our clients with the supportive insights and
techniques needed by entrepreneurs, small business owners, road
warriors and non-profit organizations to improve their processes,
accelerate their development and succeed in our ever changing world. Please view our
Powerpoint Presentation
for more information.
Work assignments are communicated through e-mail, phone, fax, mail,
diskette and Internet Web based collaborative technology (Intranets
and interactive conference rooms).
Busy executives and entrepreneurs working in a
small home office, can enjoy access to all of the support benefits of
their corporate counterparts in permanent offices of major firms.
New business startups, small companies with more limited resources,
large companies with periodic projects and sales people desiring
the personal touch are all examples of potential clients of a Virtual
Work Partner.
No. Just like all administrative
assistants are not executive assistants. Virtual Work Partners are leading edge professionals in the VA industry.
They are creative and innovative lifelong learners with outstanding
core competencies in:
- Technology Management and how it can be
used to erase geographical boundaries while improving your work
processes
- Problem Solving for your unique
administrative challenges
- Strategic Thinking that will provide you
with keys to success, for growth of your business
VWPs are influencers, negotiators and
managers who play key roles as you identify the strengths, weaknesses,
opportunities and threats surrounding your company
The cost varies from $30 -100 an hour and up,
depending on the projects or partnering agreements and the credentials
of your VWP. Since VWPs
are subject matter experts in their areas of expertise,
training and ramp up time is virtually eliminated. You only pay
for the actual time that you utilize the services of your VWP, in a minimum of
fifteen minute increments.
Salary and benefits for full
time staff are eliminated.
The total cost for an employee normally
is about 2 1/2 times the cost of a VA.
