Virtual Assistant, IVAA Certified, Since 1999

A virtual assistant...

Uses today's technology to provide affordable, accurate, and professional business support. Outsourcing administrative and clerical tasks (such as word processing, data entry, Internet research...) is a viable and economical way to handle business matters--from routine to complicated tasks. A virtual assistant is highly trained in use of the Internet and various software products, making remote support an economical solution. In this virtual world, your assistant can be anywhere!

What should you look for in a virtual assistant?

Virtual assistants must be motivated and completely dedicated to their clients.The VA must maintain and know how to use the most current hardware and software on the market. What good are virtual assistants if they don't have the applications needed to efficiently process your work? Your assistant needs more than a computer and the ability to type: virtual assistants must understand current technologies and must be skilled in the software required to perform the job in a virtual environment. Please visit the About Us page for information regarding our business support skills and equipment, and our virtual assistant services page for an idea of how we will help you.

Could you use a virtual assistant? Take a look at the following:

• Are you a small business with no regular staff?
• Do you have an emergency task but it's off-work hours? Or would it take up too much of your employees' time?
• Are you able to handle 90% of the business, but the other 10% runs your life?
• Do you really want an employee but it just isn't practical?

If you answered "yes" even once, hire Allison Lane Business Solutions, certified virtual assistant for business support and administrative assistance on an outsourced basis.

You're the captain--we're the crew

Outsourcing doesn't mean you relinquish control of your work. It means you forward it to an independent contractor who specializes in business support. As a virtual assistant, my primary role is to process your work to your complete satisfaction--and to mine (and I am very picky). You're my client. Unlike "temps," I care about the viability of your business. I am not there solely for the paycheck. I'm there for the survival of your business--and mine.

So she can sing and dance--why should we hire her?

That's simple. I improve your bottom line. Virtual assistants don't:

• Talk on the phone on your time.
• Take a vacation that you pay for.
• Get hurt doing your work and have your insurance company pay us.
• Take up space in your office.
• Need you to pay for equipment.
• Stick out their tongues behind your back
