Identify Your Needs

To ensure that you’re getting the right virtual assistant to meet your needs, ask yourself the following questions:

• What types of services do I need?
• How many hours per week will I require a VA?
• What is my budget?
• Does my project require a VA with special training?
• Does my project require a VA to use specific software or equipment?

Go to VA Services to see the skills and services your virtual assistant can offer you. Under Pricing, find the best package to suite your needs.

Reserve a VA

Once you have identified a need for support help in your business, finding and choosing a virtual assistant is the next step. Go to Reserve a VA and fill out the form.

Here Is What We Need From You...

• A detailed work request with specific expectations and requirements
• Format or other preferences
• Any previous problems encountered with your project
• Your work hours when you want your VA to be available to you
• A contact person for any questions or approvals

Review VA Portfolio

Once we review your form to reserve a VA, a salesperson from our American office will contact you and will help you choose the best VA for your needs. You will be presented with a portfolio for each VA that includes:

• Writing samples (in English)
• Graphic design samples if the VA is a graphic designer
• An overall objective assessment (report card) of strengths and weaknesses

Unlike many other VA websites, Virtualassistant.org is not a single person business operating out of a bedroom. We have offices in the United States and overseas that are fully staffed with skilled professionals using the best tools available.

Our policy is that we only hire and use dedicated full-time virtual assistants to provide our clients with the best method for accomplishing their goals. Part-timers and independent freelancers often lack the type of commitment that potential clients require for their business needs.

Our VAs are college educated and are extremely savvy using the newest technologies to their (and your) advantage. To ensure that we have the right people to serve you, we take the following steps when hiring a virtual assistant:

• All potential recruits must have 4-year university degrees (the majority have degrees in Computer Science)
• Each VA is also given an IQ test and the test results are shared with our clients

Go to Reserve a VA to start this process and you'll receive a customized selection of VAs best suited to your needs.

Purchase a Plan

Now that you know which VA will handle your work, go ahead and view our plans and pricing. Your American representative who helped you choose a VA will help you choose the best plan for your needs.

Connect with Your VA

For your convenience we offer many ways to connect with your VA.

• Instant messaging such as Yahoo Messenger, AIM, MSN, Google Talk, etc.
• Skype, so you can actually talk.
• Email.
• Fax.
• Phone.

Your virtual assistant will be available to you during the hours specified in the package you chose. But...the office where your VA works is staffed 24/7 with virtual assistants and account managers. So even if you need to connect with someone during wee hours of the night, a representative at the office will be available to you.

To get connected, go to Reserve a VA, fill out the form, and one of our American representatives will contact you.
