Top 5 Reasons Why Your VA Should Be Contracted On A Retainer.
April 6, 2009
Do you have a VA? Are you a client who works with your VA on a month-to-month basis wondering at the beginning of that month whether or not they are going to have time for you? Have you experienced the disappointment that your VA couldn’t allocate more time to your project because they were already too busy? Scrambling to get your project in before someone else does?
Alleviating these monthly headaches can be easily remedied with a retainer. A virtual assistant retainer is commonly designed as a “package of hours” that is prepaid at the beginning of the month with a discount in the fee. Retainer packages are unique to the virtual assistant. There are several reasons why it is better to utilize a retainer but here are the top 5 reasons:
1. Guarantee your VA’s time.
When you purchase your retainer at the beginning of the month you are guaranteeing your VA’s time in advance. No more wondering if your latest venture will fly or falter because you will have the assistance that you require to do so.
2. Cost efficient.
A discount is applied as part of the retainer package. The more the hours purchased the larger the discount.
3. Optimize your time.
Knowing in advance that you have the undivided attention and dedication to your projects is a great strategy to streamlining the process to complete it; not to mention the time it will free up to focus your attention on more important issues.
4. Stress buster.
No more stress added to an already busy workday! You can relax and take a big breath because you know that your VA is ready and scheduled to perform the tasks they were contracted to do.
5. Budget friendly.
It’s always much easier to budget and allocate funds when you know what your bill is going to be.
So stop running your business month-to-month and contact your VA today to find out more about a retainer package. It’s just better busines sense.
