Why a Transaction Coordinator (TC) /Virtual Assistant (VA) is Better than Hiring an In-House Employee. Before writing up your recruitment ad, consider the advantages of outsourcing.
- A (TC)/(VA) is a highly-skilled, independent professional who remotely provides administrative, technical and/or creative business support services
- With a (TC)/(VA), you save money as you don’t have to provide office space, furnishings or equipment. Every VA works from their own office environment.
- With a (TC)/(VA), you don’t have to worry about coordinating work schedules. Simply send off the work to be done with a due date.
- A client only pays for the actual time a (TC)/(VA) spends on completing the task. No money spent on bathroom visits, water cooler chats, or coffee breaks.
- When hiring a (TC)/(VA), there is no need to pay for fringe benefits like health insurance, vacation pay or employer wage deductions. A (TC)/(VA) takes care of all their own overhead costs.
- In-house staff will probably require training. A (TC)/(VA) is already proficient with the latest tools and technology to do the job.
- As an independent business owner themselves, a (TC)/(VA) has the ability to see the bigger picture. Unlike an employee, a (TC)/(VA) knows and understands the challenges of running a business.
- A (TC)/(VA) invests in their own business and has the software available to complete projects. A client can save money by not having to use their funds to purchase software for every new project.
- (TC)/(VA) have a resource pool available to call upon. If there is a time constraint, they have access to numerous connections which can be called upon to complete the job.
- Commuting is never a problem with a (TC)/(VA). Your work will get completed even during the worst weather. No downtime due to traffic accidents, construction or vehicle emergencies.
- As each client relationship is protected with a Confidentiality, you can be confident in the integrity of your (TC)/(VA) and don’t need to worry about confidential company information being leaked at the water cooler.
When working out the true costs of hiring an employee versus outsourcing to a Transaction Coordinator/Virtual Assistant, a client not only benefits by having a more qualified, more experienced professional on hand, but once the math is done, the (TC)/(VA) often comes in at a lower price! www.ChristineMatus.com
