Do you own a business – big or small, run a business, know someone who has a business, or do you plan to start a business?


If you answer YES to these questions, this article may help you revolutionize your business or the business that you are planning to start.

Owning or running a business is no joke. You will be dealing with tons of work such as answering phone calls, checking e-mails, accounting, and other administrative tasks.

But the good news is there are also tons of ways to help you manage the admin work. Perhaps the most conventional way is to hire someone to do all of those.

But wait. Do you have the resources to provide that person the payroll, taxes, benefits, and training she/he needs?

Now, if your answer is NO, again, there is no need for you to worry because there is a convenient way to help your business revolutionize without thinking about those things.

Thanks to technology, there are now people who can help you and your business to its success. These people are called virtual assistants or commonly known as VAs. They provide administrative, technical, professional, or creative and social assistance to clients remotely. Most of them are working at their home using their own Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) service provider.

So now, you are probably thinking you need one of them.

But here’s the catch. You can’t hide the fact about the whole thing being virtual. Can you imagine providing good compensation to someone you don’t see physically, working at the comfort of his/her home, and might not work to his/her full potential?

It’s daunting, isn’t it?

So, the thing is, you need to hire the right virtual assistants. These kind of virtual assistants are proven on revolutionizing your business. They are the office-based virtual assistants. Some of them are working in a virtual assistant service provider like a call center, which is famous and highly active in some Asian countries like India and Philippines.

• They are supervised

You don’t need to worry if your VA is properly doing the job because your VA is monitored by a supervisor or manager. All of them are hired by the call center to carry out their specific functions.

 • They have dual ISP

Office-based VAs are working in a virtual assistant service provider companies which have fast-speed, reliable, and dual Internet Service Providers (ISPs). In case the primary ISP will fluctuate or shut down (which rarely happens), they will just use the backup ISP.

 • They have power generators

It is evident that big companies must have their own power generator, especially those companies that conduct constant transactions.

All of the virtual assistant service provider companies have a backup power supply. Not only that, if the power generator is warming up, they also have an Uninterruptable Power Supply (UPS), which is installed in their computers so they can continue their tasks without interruptions.

Those are just some of the many reasons that office-based virtual assistants work better (if not best).

But of course, there are some exceptional home-based virtual assistants who can provide quality service.

The main thing is that office-based virtual assistants are working in companies that provide tons of resources to improve the quality of service they have to provide and to support them and their valued customers and clients.
