What is a VA?
The International Virtual Assistants Association (IVAA) says,
"A Virtual Assistant (VA) is an independent entrepreneur providing
administrative, creative and/or technical services. Utilizing advanced
technological modes of communication and data delivery, a professional
VA assists clients in his/her area of expertise from his/her own office
on a contractual basis."
According to VAnetworking.com,
"A Virtual Assistant (VA) is a highly-trained
independent entrepreneur who provides a myriad of business support
services virtually via phone, fax and Internet-based technology to
support and meet the growing needs of businesses worldwide.
Partnering with a VA
reduces stress, protects cash flow, eliminates administrative hassles,
and enables business people to find the success they originally set
out to achieve.
A VA is your right hand person helping you to succeed
in your business. The irony is you may never meet your VA as odds
are they live nowhere near you!"
