    Virtual Assistant...What is that exactly?
    A Virtual Assistant (VA) is an independent contractor who provides administrative, organizational and/or creative services to small business
    owners, entrepreneurs and independent contractors via the Internet, through email or fax, and even snail mail. They provide telephone, instant
    messaging as well as additionally available technology to keep you connected and 'in-the-know'. VA's can provide all the services of an in-
    house assistant, without all the costs. VA's are unique, however, in that they have a vested interest in your success. When you thrive, we thrive.
    In addition, virtual assistant businesses such as TRImages, Ink also provide partnership discounts through their preferred partners and
    affiliates. These partnershps and affiliations can sometimes,  save you hundreds of dollars off of products, services and client gifts that you
    would otherwise purchase yourself during your day-to-day business operations anyway.

    Because VA's are independent contractors, you only pay for the time actually spent on YOUR project.  You don't pay for lunch hours, vacation
    time, sick time or time that's just plain unproductive. What you do pay for is expertise, experience and professionalism. And, given the fact that
    on an average, employees are productive only 60%-75% of the time, working with a VA can stretch your marketing & administrative budgets even
    some control in your business; even as other elements out of your control are rising around you: gas prices, the cost of material goods, office
    products and technology.

    Partnering with a VA saves in all these ways:

No payroll taxes
No benefits (health insurance, vacation, sick time, etc.)
No additional work space needed
No equipment or hardware to purchase (computer, printer, desk, etc.)
No software to purchase
No or minimal training or learning curve
VA's typically work from their own offices; usually home-based, although some are willing to make office calls when necessary & under
special circumstances. They provide all their own equipment, supplies and software, and remain current with industry advances. And, like any
other professional in their field, they seek out continuing education to improve on their chosen specialty and talents; as well as expand on
services that their clients are demanding.

Most VA's have extensive professional experience in administrative, creative services, teaching or consulting fields. And, many have worked in your particular
industry and know first hand what is necessary to be successful. TRImages, Ink has consultants that specialize in real estate, small business administration and
general client database and transaction management services.

Before speaking with any potential virtual assistant it is important that you have thought through
your personal expectations, work habits and any/all support systems
you may currently in place.  
Speak openly with the VA about your current systems and processes to best identify areas for improvement or small learning curve
opportunities.  
Take your time when deciding on the person who can best compliment you, your business, and your goals. With all the advantages to partnering with
a VA, what's stopping you?
