Can I afford to have Admin Help?

July 13th, 2009 by Comment button No Comments »

The question really should be: Can you afford not to have admin help?

Large companies have admin assistants for a very good reason. They have highly paid executives, consultants, managers, etc. and it isn’t fiscally prudent for them to be doing their own filing, document formatting and all those other vitally important, yet time-consuming tasks. They recognize the value that an assistant brings to their business success.

As a small business owner, a Virtual Assistant can bring you the same value that an in-house admin assistant brings to those larger companies. Everyone’s time has an hourly value, whether you charge your time to your clients or it is built into the cost of the goods and services you provide. Just as the optimist and pessimist can look at a glass and see it as half full or half empty, a successful and unsuccessful businessperson can view a Virtual Assistant as an investment or an expense.

The following three scenarios show how investing in a Virtual Assistant can help you achieve a return on your investment. These scenarios assume that the businessperson’s time is worth $100 per hour and the Virtual Assistant’s hourly rate is $40 per hour.

Scenario #1:

By delegating your admin work to Prime Admin Solutions, you have time to work on other client work.

Return on Your Investment
You net $60 per hour and get your admin work completed!

Scenario #2:

You draft a report or presentation for Client A and delegate it to Prime Admin Solutions to format. You then move on to do work for Client B. This is all time you can charge back to your clients.

Return on Your Investment
Two satisfied clients (with no additional cost to you) leads to increased business with those clients and future referrals!

Scenario #3:

Prime Admin Solutions spends 2-1/2 hours taking care of your admin work while you use that time to prospect for new clients.

Return on Your Investment
You reach your break-even point with one hour of new business; additional hours are pure profit!

As you can see from the above you really can’t afford to be without an admin assistant. Thanks to Virtual Assistance, you don’t have to hire someone full-tine. To learn more about how a Virtual Assistant can help you, contact Julia at Prime Admin Solutions at 905-618-0308.
