Many legal nurse consultants should consider hiring a virtual assistant to help grow their business. One of the biggest complaints that I hear from small business owners is that finding the right virtual assistant (VA) is not an easy or enjoyable process.
It is daunting to find one who has the right skill sets, understands their vision and can truly do what they say can do. As a matter of fact, the average small business owner who has worked with virtual assistants has at least one nightmare situation to share. You too? Or does the idea of trying to find a VA stop you in your tracks?
There is an alternative. Consider a company that has multiple virtual assistants to choose from. A multi-VA firm approach can help you grow your business quicker while leaving the hassles associated with finding the right help behind. Here are the top 5 reasons why a working with a multi-va firm is a short cut business growth strategy:
1. Skill Set Matching
Need administrative experts, marketing and social media specialists, content writers, web and graphic design specialists, accountants and more? Working with a multi-VA firm means that you have access to a variety of talented service providers who have the skills that your business needs.
2. Cut out the Skill Vetting Process
Small business owners are always asking the question, “Do you know someone that can help me with…?” Not having to continuously find new service providers, interview them and hope that they can deliver the results they promised means that you can consistently meet your project deadlines in a timely manner. This short cut strategy allows you to grow your business much quicker while avoiding the perils of the hiring process.
3. Avoid Hiring the Wrong Virtual Assistants
A multi-virtual assistant firm environment provides access to a multitude of service providers. If for some reason a team member turns out to not be the right fit, or perhaps a personal situation arises that prevents the virtual assistant from working with you, a new VA can quickly be brought in to continue with your project. This shortcut strategy allows your projects to be completed as scheduled while reducing complexities in your business.
4. Only Do What You Love
Many talented business owners spend their time managing their businesses instead of delivering results for their clients. They tend to spend most of their day focusing on the day to day details including overseeing a team. In a multi-VA environment you have the opportunity to act like a postage stamp! Meaning you get to stick to what you truly enjoying doing. This short cut strategy allows you to accelerate your positioning as an expert.
5. Cost & Time Effective
It’s been proven that working with a multi-virtual assistant firm saves you a lot of time, but it also turns out to be a much more cost effective solution to manage and grow your business. Typically, independent virtual assistants are business owners just like you. This means that they have their own revenue goals, payment stipulations and so on. Partnering with a multi-VA firm allows you to streamline your outsourcing costs by dealing with the firm itself rather than with various independent providers. This shortcut strategy is good for your pocket!
Finding the right virtual assistants can be like the dating process. It can take several tries until you find the right fit for your needs. Fortunately for small business owners, the multi-VA model eliminates searching for the team to help you catapult your business to the next level!
