Default Dun & Bradstreet: Get Organized by Hiring a Virtual Assistant
I have google alerts set up to send me emails for "virtual assistant." I came across a good article a couple days ago by Dun & Bradstreet regarding the benefits of hiring a virtual assistant. I'd thought you'd all like to read it.

While the overall tone of this article is *good* for evangelizing VAs in general, there are a few points that I think don't do justice to the VA/client relationship; namely, the use of the word 'employee'.

I thought I'd share a blog post I wrote for another site that goes into detail about this very article.

Tess -

I agree with you on the "employee" word - gives the client the impression they call the shots so to speak - it is MY business and My policies --- I think that fact gets lost in the article.

Over all though it is a good general reference article. !!
