Press Release Summary = Many small businesses fail to thrive due to a combination of limited financial resources and inadequate staffing. Virtual Assistance may be the solution to the problem and Xpress Assistant is spreading the word to the local small businesses and entrepreneurs.
Press Release Body = Kirstie Freimuth has recently launched Xpress Assistant, a service to help local businesses and entrepreneurs thrive! The problem faced by many small business owners is twofold: there are not enough hours in the day to handle all the responsibilities that come with owning a business and hiring a staff can be costly. Enter Xpress Assistant (http://www.XpressAssistant.com), a member of the fast-growing industry known as Virtual Assistants. A virtual assistant (VA) is defined as a highly skilled, professional, independent contractor who provides administrative and creative services to businesses and individuals anywhere in the world on an as-needed basis utilizing today's technology. It's the job of a VA to deal with those responsibilities that the business owner, for whatever reason, cannot.
So why hire a virtual assistant instead of an employee? The bottom line is reason enough. The average base salary for an administrative assistant is upwards of $30,000.00 per year. Add to that the additional 30% that is employee related expenses - taxes, insurance, bonuses - and you're looking at a rather costly expenditure. A virtual assistant is paid only for the time worked, saving your business thousands of dollars per year.
According to Freimuth, an additional benefit of a VA is the range and level of their skills. With over 15 years of experience, Freimuth provides a wealth of services from the more common administrative tasks to the more specialized such as legal billing and basic web site design. "To speak frankly, it's my goal to help my clients make money and look good," says Freimuth. "I've seen so many small businesses fail despite the quality of their service or product and I'd like to remedy that. I can provide the skills that they or their staff might be missing and I can handle those administrative duties they just don't have time for. My services allow them the freedom to do what they do best - and I can do it all from my own office which reduces overhead costs for my clients."
You don't have to be a business owner to take advantage of a virtual assistant. Like many other virtual assistants, Xpress Assistant also offers Personal Assistant services such as appointment scheduling, travel arrangements - even a reminder service! "Everyone can use a little help," says Freimuth. "Whether you're a stay-at-home mom, a working mother or a busy executive." Virtual assistants operate on a schedule geared to their clients needs and most provide flexible billing options - by the hour, by the project or monthly retainer- meaning that there's a solution available for everyone.
