Hire Virtual Executive Assistant – Top 10

Using a virtual assistant is one of the best things you can do.  Whether you are a salon business owner, top executive, stay-at-home-mom or just a busy person –  hiring a virtual executive assistant can and will change your life for the better.

I have personally used a virtual executive assistant for over 5 years and I wish I started 5 years prior to that.  It is best to use a virtual assistant company like 123Employee to handle your tasks.  When using an individual or someone who is a virtual assistant independently you tend to run into the same issues you would have if you hired a W-2 employee.  Ideally, you want to use a company or service that no matter what happens – virtual executive assistant calls in sick, car breaks down,  someone dies, etc they have someone there that is trained on your business or tasks and can continue without skipping a beat.  That’s the beauty of hiring a true virtual executive assistant company.

Many times your virtual assistant may be from another country – India, Philippines, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Africa, etc. This works to your advantage because typically the cost is low and they speak English very well and understand the culture.  Depending upon what services and tasks need to be completed by the virtual executive assistant it will determine from what country you will hire.  As a suggestion, if you plan on using your virtual executive assistant to handle phone calls, professional letters, transcriptions you might prefer using a service that is based out of the Philippines like 123Employee or Guatemala.  We find their verbal communication skills  are better than others.
