Virtual Assistant Vs Personal Assistant

---

So why would you choose a virtual assistant over a traditional personal assistant?
 

Virtual assistants have actually been around for a little while now  however, they have really come to prevalence in the last few years. If the Covid pandemic taught us anything, it was that remote working is  becoming the new norm and it has certainly changed a lot of workplaces  forever.
 

This opening up of remote working means that industries who previously wouldn’t have thought of having a PA can now have a VA. for example,  tradesmen who are out on the road and don’t have an actual workplace for someone to sit at can now have a VA. Companies that have now downsized their workspace are now considering a VA.
 

Virtual assistants are also more than just a virtual version of the traditional personal assistant. We are exactly that ‘assistants’,  assistants of all things, not just traditional PA duties. For example - social media management, event management, business research are just a few of the services that I can offer. Again, this makes it a more attractive proposition to trades and sectors who previously wouldn’t have considered a personal assistant.
 

Some people think personal assistants are a luxury, and I guess they are to a certain degree, however, think of it this way….by outsourcing these tasks/duties within your business which are not your skill set  & tie you up, frees you up more time to focus on the core operations  of your business, the ones that make you money!
 

A virtual assistant is also a cheaper option than a permanent member of  staff. For example, you don’t have to pay for the on boarding of the  staff member. You don’t have to pay IT and equipment costs. You don’t  have to pay holiday pay. You don’t have to pay sick pay. You don’t have  to pay national insurance or pension contributions. You only pay for the  hours you use and the product you receive.
