We are a Virtual Assistant Agency
We can’t tell you how excited we are of being a Virtual Assistant Agency, let alone an award winning one. There is a monumental difference between freelance virtual assistants and an agency of virtual assistants. It’s exactly the same difference you get between a worker who stands outside Home Depot hoping to help you with construction work for the day vs using a company like PeopleReady who provide people with the exact skill-sets you need on a particular day.
As an agency we look to fill our company with highly qualified virtual assistants who excel in a variety of skills. Not only does that mean we rigorously vet potential new virtual assistants, including testing them to make sure they have the required skills. And then once hired we provide a variety of trainings to keep their skills sharp and to increase their knowledgebase.
The vetting, interviewing, testing and training are all benefits of hiring an agency vs a freelance assistant. But we will fully admit that there are highly-qualified, professional freelance virtual assistants in the marketplace. In fact we applaud them because it takes a lot of effort, beyond doing work for your clients, to also be self-motivated to find and take additional trainings to continually hone your skills. Those are the people we seek out all year to be part of Alpine Virtual.
The Power of Scale
Beyond the vetting however, there is another obvious benefit to a virtual assistant agency, and perhaps bookkeeping is a good example. There are times, like mid-July, for a Christmas lights decorating company, when the needs and demand for bookkeeping hours are low compared to the needs during October, November, December and January. That varying level of demand is where the agency excels. Because when you really need two or three bookkeepers to keep up with the work, instead of scouring the internet, vetting, interviewing and on-boarding new people, we can provide additional professional virtual assistants at the drop of a hat.
That is the power of scaling up and down to meet the needs of your company.
Leverage Wisdom
Perhaps another benefit of a virtual assistant agency is that our VAs have helped many companies over a variety of industries and bring with them the tricks and trades of each. Perhaps there is a “bell and whistle feature” in your software that you didn’t know how to use or didn’t fully realize what benefit it brought. Our VAs will be able to show you how the feature works and what benefits it brings. You never know when one single tip can revolutionize all that you’ve built.
We would love for you to learn more about us, as a virtual assistant agency, who we are and what we do. And if it seems like we might be the perfect company to help reduce your costs and improve your efficiency, please reach out.
