The Pros of a Virtual Assistant
Most wedding planners don’t have the time, space, or budget to hire a full or even part time assistant, train them, pay them, (and all of the taxes and benefits that come with an in-house employee,) and this prevents a lot of planners from getting the help they need. A virtual assistant, however, can help as much or as little as you want them to. They are already trained, and will tell you what they know how to do so you don’t have to worry about taking the time to train somebody. And because they are working for more than one client, you are only charged when your projects are being working on, and not for bathroom or telephone breaks. Virtual assistants are also incredibly productive, because they spend their time doing the same type of projects for a variety of businesses.
Most importantly, because virtual assistants are not employees, but independent contractors, you don’t have to pay worker’s compensation, unemployment tax, health benefits, etc. If you only need them for five hours each week, that’s also not a problem, whereas if you were to look for in-person help, that might not be enough hours to get someone in the door. So are you ready to take some time back?
