What does it take for big corporations to run a business? You will ask yourself: Is it positioning, branding, or deciding to hire a virtual assistant (or a team of Virtual Experts)? In fact, running a corporation requires all of the above, but interest in hiring is at an all-time high. This is because hiring the right people for your business is of crucial importance, not only to your business survival but also future success.

There have been spectacular success stories of multinational corporations growing to be multi-million-dollar companies just by outsourcing and hiring a team of the right people, often called Virtual Assistants or Virtual Experts, into their business environment. These Virtual Experts assist not only the businesses but also the individuals (managers/directors/C-level executives) behind the businesses.  

If you are wondering whether Virtual Experts are for you, here is a list of 10 reasons why you should hire a Virtual Assistant in more depth. 

Embracing the culture of ‘new normal’

The remote work trends started with increased technology made possible by the digital era, otherwise referred to as the Information Age. This is a period in human history where an employee (Virtual Expert) can successfully complete projects and communicate with their managers and directors virtually — even complete a variety of tasks — without being in the same room or even the same city.

By embracing the new normal, managers and directors could better manage their resources and people. At the end of the day, it is the efficient corporations that will be sustainable. 

Multiple services at your disposal and by the hour

Managers and directors often have to wear a lot of different hats as the corporation will require them to juggle many tasks and functions that often do not justify hiring full-time admin support due to the small scale of the functions. 

For example, if all you need is a logo design, a website design, and occasional help designing graphics for your ads, it does not make sense for your corporation to hire a full-time graphic designer. Instead, you can rely on a Virtual Expert to complete projects as needed.

Best of all, many of these Virtual Experts have experience working with a wide range of multinational corporations and companies alike, and that experience can often offer a lot of value to your corporation. Just ask for a:

  • Marketer,
  • Personal Assistants,
  • Graphic Designer,
  • Video Editor,
  • Web Developers
  • Customer Service,
  • Chief Marketing Officer,
  • ESG Consultants,
  • etc

and you can have multiple services at your disposal and by the hour. 

Having sufficient capital and cash flow to expand

Whether you need a Marketer, Graphic Designer, Admin Assistant, or Web Developer, it will always cost you more when hiring in-house versus outsourcing a Virtual Expert. This is because, in addition to the hourly wage you pay, you must also pay for employee benefit contributions, office and equipment costs, as well as vacation and sick time. A Virtual Expert, on the other hand, covers all of their expenses.

By hiring a Virtual Expert for your corporation, it is not only more cost effective, you will also have sufficient capital and positive cash flow that gives you the ability to expand too. 

Adding flexibility to your position

Believe it or not, there are many tasks that can be outsourced to a Virtual Expert, and the list is not exhaustive. This realization only comes to marketing managers, directors, or C-level executives who have started hiring Virtual Experts to find more flexibility in their leadership roles.

Basically, a Virtual Expert can accommodate any tasks and projects  — from conducting research and compiling information to generating reports — even scheduling meetings and data entry jobs can be delegated if needed to.   

10 Reasons Why You Need A Virtual Expert

Gaining access to a diverse variety of services

Many C-level executives make use of hiring Virtual Experts because they can instantly gain access to a diverse variety of services. This is an excellent choice because it can narrow your search for admin support and ensure your candidates have the right skills on paper. You can approach Virtual Experts directly using platforms such as Kuubiik.        

Hiring a virtual expert is more productive

The eight-hour workday in today’s workplace is no longer feasible as new findings discover that the typical worker is only productive at work for two hours and fifty-three minutes of an eight-hour workday. This is to say that you are actually paying more for less. 

If you have to work with unproductivity, try hiring Virtual Experts for better productivity at work. First off, they are not bound to the eight-hour workday and secondly, they are paid by the number of hours they work so you can be assured of their productivity.
