Hi Maureen

Thanks for the comment on the eBook.

I usually don’t like shameless plugs, but, hey – you couldn’t me in a good mood!

Plug, approved.

@Bob – Thanks for the comment. Indeed, VA’s are a great source of low-cost support. However, they are more than that, too – they help you GROW your business, which is even more invaluable than saving a few bucks.

A Virtual Assistant brings reliability, competence, creativity and other great characteristics to your business without the insane costs.

@John – Thanks for the comment, and question. I’ve always said that a VA is exactly that. A virtual assistant. If your customer service requirements are a very important part of your business, and a serious part of your customer experience, I will definitely suggest you hire a customer service agent, or team.

If the inbound side of your business activities are relatively minimal, then a VA with a strong grasp of the English language could very well do the job well enough. As well as taking care of other admin and online related tasks, obviously. Think about it, and then make the right move for YOU. Good luck – luck us all know how it goes for you. Best, Chris

I have been looking into hiring a VA for about a month now but have kept switching my plans and ideas on what they will do, etc.

This definately helped me out. Thank you.

One question though. What if I need a VA to also answer the phone from a customer service standpoint too. Is it acceptable to request something like this from a VA? Or do I need a seperate person (perhaps better phone skills, for example). Thanks.

@Billy – Thanks for the kind words and for coming on back to the blog to comment on your experience with the book. Remember, reading is one thing – now take a little bit of that new knowledge, add a dash of enthusiasm, and a butt load of ‘get the hell outta my way’, and catch the outsourcing bug for real. Hire a VA, and let us all know how it goes for you.
