Unlocking Potential: The Strategic Advantages of Hiring a VA Alongside your Existing Team

Are you a profitable business with an established team already?

Have you considered outsourcing but questioned whether it is worth it?

Do you wonder how this would work with your company structure?

Outsourcing is a concept that often seems second nature to us, especially in our domestic lives, but the true value isn’t always clear within business.  Why is that?!

The simple fact of the matter is that running a business includes a multi-faceted approach. It's a complex range of challenges from financials to workflows, customer service to operations, admin to marketing and more. For many businesses, these challenges can lead to decreased productivity, increased operational costs, lack of focus and lack of clarity.

By outsourcing to a VA, you can free up time to focus on sales, growth and strategy. 

Here are four compelling reasons to consider outsourcing to a Virtual Assistant, regardless of your company's scale or your existing team.

1. Time

Let’s be honest, we never have enough of it – ever. It is a precious resource and by hiring a VA it can help you gain back time to focus on your strategy, targeting new clients, entering new territories, negotiating new deals for business growth and more. Your team can focus on KPIs to drive the business forward whilst your VA can offer an extra pair of hands, often specialising in certain areas, offering more than just operational support.

2. Productivity

Delegating tasks to a Virtual Assistant (VA) is like unleashing a superpower for your in-house team. It allows your team members to hone in on what they do best – the tasks that play to their unique strengths. With the burden of time-consuming, repetitive tasks off their shoulders, they can redirect their time and energy towards your core business objectives. This not only enhances their productivity but also fuels innovation and creativity.

3. Flexible

Working with a VA offers the flexibility to scale your operations without the daunting commitment of hiring a full-time employee, especially when you may not be at that stage just yet. Whether you need short-term assistance during a busy quarter or ongoing support for specific projects or tasks, a VA can step in precisely when and where you need them, ensuring that your business remains at the forefront of its competitors.

4. Cost Effective & Profitable

Hiring a VA is a strategic move that can bring significant cost savings to any business. Straight away, you are reducing overhead expenses including salaries, holiday pay, sick pay, medical benefits, pension schemes, and car allowances. While performing essential support for your business, a VA does so at a fraction of the cost compared to a full-time, in-house employee. This means that your business can access the vital support it needs without the financial burden of traditional staffing, making it a savvy choice for companies who are ready to scale up.
