I have 800 words to write on the subject "The benefits of outsourcing" which is obviously aimed at getting us VA's more business. The magazine is specifically for new and small businesses. distribution of over 150,000. Can I have some suggestions please as to what you think are the most beneficial points to cover. 800 words will go quite quickly I imagine. Oh, and I have until Friday lunchtime 30th April. __________________ VA-Karen www.elite-va.com

I've noticed that we do a lot of comparison with a in office assistant compared to a Virtual Assistant. I've been thinking that with the Small Businesses or Micro Businesses the comparison might be better if it was against what the client could make a hour compared with what it would cost for the VA to do the project. Just a thought and good luck with your article. __________________ Ruth M Callejas, Lead Consult Admin & More Taking Care Of The 'To Do' List, So You Can Take Care Of Business

That is a good angle to come from. I am still in my planning stages and have written over 500 words already. I think I read on this forum that you can put your article's up for reading. I will do so (if I can figure out how) once I have completed it. __________________ VA-Karen www.elite-va.com

The benefits of outsourcing are many: The cost and overhead saving advantages. Increase in profits, productivity, level of quality, business value and business performance. Access to expert, skilled, and professional specialty services. Freeing up business owners time. Faster work proficiency and delivery to customers. Improved customer satisfaction. Gaining a competitive edge. These are some of the fantastic benefits of outsourcing work to a virtual assistant. Hope this helps! Doug __________________ Only The Best www.specialtyassistants.com

This is one of those slap yourself on the forehead moments. Is that laughable, someone in the VA industry not noticing a deadline? WOW!
