When I meet business owners and tell them what I do: support business owners with backend tasks so they can focus on finding a better work/life balance, everyone tells me how great and important my work is. But they don’t hire me. Or they tell me how they had a bad experience with a virtual assistant and would rather do the work themselves.
Of course, I’m always sorry to learn that they’ve had a bad VA experience; it does make it difficult to trust another one. But too many business owners are working far too hard and deserve to have a better work/life balance. It’s why we open our own businesses: we want flexibility and freedom.
Do you have the flexibility and freedom you dreamed of? Or are you working 14, 16, 18-hour days, desperately trying to stay on top of everything?
Your most pressing point might be your email inbox. You might get 10-20 emails a day, but if you don’t clean those out, tomorrow, you’ll have 20-40 emails in your inbox. It’s easy to let them pile up, and soon, you might have 1,000-10,000 emails cluttering your inbox, taking up memory.
But when you look at them, you think, “Ugh, I don’t have time for this.”
And you’re right. You have far more important solopreneur issues at hand.
A Virtual Assistant, however, has time. In fact, managing email inboxes might be their specialty.
Let’s break it down mathematically:
You have 6,000+ emails in your inbox, and looking at them makes you shake your head and close down your email. It could take you 5+ hours to go through your email inbox, costing you time and money you could be applying toward your business.
Hire a Virtual Assistant for 5 hours a month at $225, which breaks down to $45/hour.
You get 5 additional hours back a month, 5 hours to do what you want or need to do.
With those 5 hours, your VA eliminates 5000+ emails, and your inbox looks manageable again.
Your stress rate reduces, and your inbox is better organized=priceless.
At A Writer’s Ink Virtual Assistance, we LOVE organizing and reducing the clutter of email inboxes. In fact, it’s our specialty.
Our rates are reasonable, our efficiency is top-notch, and your satisfaction is our number 1 priority.
