Do you believe that hiring a Virtual Assistant is costly and only bigger business can afford to hire one?

Are you thinking that having a physically present assistant is better than someone who is only available online and from a distance?

But what if your business isn’t gaining enough traction and urgently needs you to step up. Given your limited resources as a start-up, you still need to focus on finding ways to make your product stand out while increasing your customer reach.  

This means you need to have someone help you run the day to day mundane and repetitive tasks, which gives you more time to focus on promoting and selling your product.

Hiring a virtual assistant is a solution that is economical and time-bound rather than hiring permanent employees which will cost you more in paying a monthly salary and benefits and added office space and equipment.

Even if your start up is doing well, you still need support to continue to grow your business in a more efficient and less costly way.  You still need to increase your sales!
