As a VA, I often have to explain precisely what this means to people who haven’t encountered this before. The idea of working with remote support or assistance is becoming increasingly popular in today’s business landscape due to its many benefits. Here’s how I explain the benefits of using a freelancer or VA to a business owner when they may previously have employed someone directly…
Benefits for Clients:
Increased productivity: Using a freelancer to support your business can increase revenue and growth and streamline operations and productivity.
Cost-effectiveness: With no need to rent or maintain office space, you can save considerable money with fewer fixed costs associated with employees.
Access to a global talent pool: you can access a global talent pool to secure the best skills for the job, regardless of geographical boundaries.
Culture of continuous improvement: Remote or freelance workers are typically always looking for the next big thing, that software that will save time and money or streamline the process.
But how does this benefit me as the freelancer?
Access to various work settings and facilities: I can access multiple work settings and facilities, such as co-working spaces, cafes, libraries, and parks, providing them with the infrastructure, amenities, and environment they need.
Freedom and control over when, how, and where I work.
Opportunity to grow my network and income: as a VA, I can expand my own network and revenue by meeting potential clients, partners, and mentors.
Boost to well-being: The elimination of the daily commute and the freedom to design one’s work environment has led to increased job satisfaction and life balance.
I love the fact that I am my own boss and continue to learn so much from my clients and other people in my network. Agile, or remote support and assistance, are most definitely here to stay; it’s not merely a trend, but the future of efficient and adaptable business operations.
