Ruth Bruce Virtual PA
Virtual Assistant working with your business, freeing up your time so you can focus on expanding and acquiring new customers
Have you ever wished you could clone yourself?
I’ve no doubt that you’d love more hours in the day to deal with the volume of mundane business tasks in your inbox. Unfortunately you can’t clone yourself! Having someone take these tasks off of your hands and free you up to focus on your passion is a godsend. ⠀
⠀
It’s a bonus that I’m an Excel nerd as well as, I’m told, organisation being my ‘superpower’. People work with me because I’m friendly, organised and conscientious with fantastic attention to detail.
How can I help?
By hiring a Virtual Assistant you can, for example, reduce cost while essentially handling the same amount of work that you would otherwise get done with a full-time assistant.
⠀
You gain time to focus on the things that are more important to you, that need your personality stamp, and have fewer sleepless nights.
Reduced Costs
Hiring a Virtual Assistant eliminates the need for renting an office space, internet subscription services, and other expenses involved in maintaining an employee workforce. You not only save money on salary, but a remote worker will is going to cost less than a full-time employee when you factor in benefits.
Increased Productivity
Without the distractions of an office environment, Virtual Assistants can focus and dedicate their time to getting tasks done.
Improved Work Quality
Virtual Assistants can handle all the nonessential tasks like checking emails, social media support and managing your website, giving you time to grow and market your business.
Reduced Risk in Scaling Operations
Rather than taking on new staff, hiring a Virtual Assistant will help you manage your workload without breaking your budget.
