Virtual Assistant?

Rescue Desk is just that assistant.
If you had a professional executive assistant, how
would you put that person to work?
Virtual Assistants (or VAs) are
executive, creative and/or
administrative assistants who
use their skills and experience to
provide support and
administrative services to their
clientele.

What makes VAs different from
traditional, on-site employees is
that VAs are entrepreneurs,
helping
virtually from their own
offices (using their own tools and
resources) for more than one
client at a time, for however long
their clients need them -- a few
hours a week, a few hours a
month, or project by project.

Businesses need cost-effective,
high-quality solutions to
supplement growth, so many
rely on virtual professionals to
meet their needs. VAs are a
perfect alternative to hiring
permanent employees, as
on-site staff can cost businesses
up to 2½ times the salary paid to
the employee.

VAs develop collaborative
business relationships with their
clients, often becoming their
clients' trusted "right hand."
Think about that for a minute. If you could hand over part of your to-do
list to an assistant, what would be on it?
  • Write business letters or press releases
  • Develop brochures, flyers or newsletters
  • Research vendors to meet growing demand
  • Help plan events and meetings
  • Project manage the development or improvement of your Website
  • Send follow-up materials to your prospective customers
  • Work on special projects such as promotional kits, special mailings,
    or other marketing initiatives
When starting out, sole proprietors, small business owners and
executives do it all -- from soup to nuts. But, eventually, you simply can't
do it all ... at least not alone. Service and productivity slip, growth is
slowed, projects are relegated to the back burner and you've forgotten
what life is like outside the office.

You need an assistant.  You need someone who has a vested interest in
the success of your business to help relieve the pressure and give you
the time you need for more pressing tasks ...

  • Growing your business and prospecting for new customers.
  • Spending time with friends and family.
  • Finding time to pursue your long-neglected interests.

Rescue Desk allows you to get back to doing what you do best. By taking
some of the support tasks off your to-do list, you'll have your most
important commodity back – your time.
