The Only Reason for Being
“A man cannot give away that which he does not own.” – Marcus Aurelius
We started Virtual Assistant, Inc because we were forced to! Let us explain.
We’ve been developing internet based businesses since 1999. Our core team members not only manage and maintain dozens of websites, but must find the time to develop the business plans, develop the new web-based business models that result in millions of dollars of sales growth.
One of the secrets to our success is the ability to task, optimize and substitute then outsource various components of the web development, web promotion as well as day to day administrative and oversight business processes that are essential to the growth and success of our business.
Our Systemized Approach
Checks & Balances Lead To Predictably Better Results
One of the biggest concerns in outsourcing is if the person who you do not have working in your physical office, is indeed doing what you expect. We have learned the hard way to set up the proper checks and balances to ensure work is performed as expected. Using technology, we are able to bring order to the unknown. Your virtual assistant works on a computer in our office that is set up to track projects, progress, time spent and deadlines. To learn more about our systems of accountability, read the page about checks and balances.
What Virtual Assistant Inc Can Do For You
Above we mentioned a technically advanced workforce, but how is this different from other BPO companies? We teach our virtual assistants our own secret tactics and strategies that have made our internet marketing businesses so successful. These are the basis of the high end services that our computer science graduates, who we have hand picked and further educated provide for you.
