Hear Why Karina Chose Virtalent
Karina explains “I’d tried other Virtual Assistant systems before and really found them lacking. But when I found the Virtalent team, it just ‘clicked’!”
A Trusted Partnership, Guaranteed;
At Virtalent, you’ll work 1 to 1 with an expert who will transform your personal and professional life – completely free from interference or any silly rules.
You’ll still have complete say in who you work with, how you work together and what they’ll work on for you. You’re still in control. You’ll enjoy the same benefits as hiring an independent VA, but just without the challenges that come with them working on their own.
For starters, as we’re a team, someone else can take care of your tasks when your VA goes on holiday. Plus, you can easily delegate work to other Virtalent VAs, each with a different skillset.
We Know What Works
We don’t often blow our own (virtual) trumpet. But we haven’t won countless industry awards, been regularly featured in the national press, grown our team from zero to 200, or seen glowing testimonials from our happy clients, for nothing.
We’ve spent years doing exactly what you need us to do, and hopefully, it’s clear we do it well.
Sure, Susie at your local networking club talks a good talk over an English breakfast. But the all-important question is, will she deliver from day one?
Complete Peace Of Mind
It’s easy to gloss over the details. It’s quicker to forgo a formal contract. After all, it’s unlikely anything will go wrong… but what happens in the rare case it does?
Whether it’s a lack of time, budget, effort or expertise; the facts show that thousands of smaller Virtual Assistant businesses across the UK admit to taking shortcuts. No insurance, no contracts, no data protection, no confidentiality clauses… it’s a minefield out there.
At Virtalent, we dot the i’s and cross the t’s as standard. Yet, importantly, your VA doesn’t have to worry about any of this – they’re focused on growing your business, not on running theirs.
