Virtual Assistants are by definition independent contractors who work for clients using their own equipment, and operate from their own home based office. Because I am a business owner myself, I can provide a service that is both specialised and varied, and the benefits of partnering with Virtual By Traci includes: Scalable Solutions: they can scale up when you get busy, or scale back when things slow down Flexible Services: most VAs are not bound by traditional work hours and can be available at times that suit everyone. This may mean that urgent tasks can be attended to in a much more responsive fashion (even on weekends or out of standard hours if it’s possible) Well Connected: even though VAs are self-employed, it doesn’t mean that they are working alone. In fact, many will have a wide network of collaborative VAs to tap into for services outside your VAs scope.
