Benefits of hiring a Virtual Assistant
What are the benefits to you of hiring a VA, a Virtual Assistant?
There are many. A VA won’t impact your head count. You can find a VA for specific tasks which may only take up a few hours a week and the cost would be in line with this. With no worries about any extra costs like end of service payments or medical insurance or any other things you are responsible for with an employee. You don’t have to worry about any kinds of benefits but rather just about what you need to have done.
Hiring a VA allows you to outsource some tasks which are taking up your time or your teams time and not allowing you to focus on growing your business. You can increase or decrease the time or tasks your VA is doing for you as your business needs grow and change.
You may only need some support at the end of each month with some tasks. Hiring a VA allows you to outsource some or all these tasks to take the pressure off you. Even if it is just for one or two days per month. Or it could be more of an ongoing agreement with several hours or even days per week or anything in between.
A VA offers a support system to your business. You could easily increase the time your VA is working for you to support you when you or one of your team members is on leave or sick. When your workload increases, be it permanently or temporarily use your VA to support you during these times. Your VA may be able to help you recruit someone for more permanent full-time support. They can train them, taking this load off you too and then go back to the work they were doing before again and support you and your new employee with more specific tasks again.
A VA is often more efficient than a full-time employee as they will agree with you the tasks that you need to have done and get them done in the time agreed and at a cost agreed. You’re not paying for coffee breaks, or sick days or leave days. You are paying them to get a job done.

And the right VA will do exactly that for you.
I have extensive experience in the area of operations/logistics related to commodities in the Metals and Mining business so this is where I am focusing my services. Do you need support with shipping documents? Keeping your shipment tracking up to date? L/C presentations? Following up with customers on the opening of L/C’s, payments or anything else in these areas? Maybe you simply need a few templates set up and worked on to ensure a certain standard in the documents you are sending out to customers.
Then please get in touch and we can have a chat about how I can be that support.
