The Value Proposition of Having a Dedicated Virtual Team at the Ready!

There are many reasons for hiring a virtual team and probably the best of them is in the value they bring to your business. In addition to freeing up your time, so you can focus on the growth-oriented aspects of your business, they contribute a wealth of professional knowledge and experience…all channeled into making your projects a success.

Let’s explore some of the benefits of a dedicated virtual team:

• Availability – Many virtual assistants work from home, setting their own hours. This generally means they’re easy to get ahold of when you need to contact them for, say, an update on a project or to schedule a Skype meeting.
• Proactive attitude – Entrepreneurs by nature themselves, a virtual team is proactive, knowledgeable and results-oriented (meaning no need to micromanage), which only spells success for your business.
• Openness to technology – This is a no-brainer, given that VAs work online, but is something often taken for granted or overlooked. Even if you run software or programs that are unfamiliar, more often than not, they will jump in and learn it in record time.
• Dedication – Virtual assistants are in a position to choose the work they take on. Having them on your team means they are interested in your business and what it offers, and want to help take it to the next level.
• Easy on the budget – This benefit is given a lot of credence but bears repeating. By not having the overhead costs of running a traditional office, there’s more in the budget for advancing what you offer customers, hiring enough virtual staff to cover a 24-hour workday (effectively boosting productivity), or whatever else you need it for.

In short, your virtual team can do everything a well-experienced traditional team can that doesn’t require a physical presence. When you think about it, even many corporate offices rely on virtual communication between departments or branches and this translates easily to a full-on virtual office environment. For example, Skype can be used for office meetings, effectively simulating a face-to-face interaction and emailing/efaxing a document is equivalent to delivering it in person. Additionally, when you consider all that cloud technology enables, in conjunction with the above list, the advantages of a virtual office can actually transcend the benefits of a physical one.
