Davinci Virtual

So many changes in so little time. It’s amazing to think about the progress that business tools have made over the years. From the Pony Express to Federal Express, the tools that businesses (no matter their industry) all over the world need and use have made some incredible advances. The 2007 businessman’s vitally important business tools include cell phones, email, and faxes. We’d like to add another useful tool to that list: virtual assistant.

Here’s the deal: virtual assistants can hold down a home office for you, even when you don’t have a physical office space to speak of. When you hand out cards with contact information on them, rather than the number on the cards going directly to your cell phone (and you have to figure out in a split second before answering: is this business or is this personal?), it’ll go through your virtual assistant, who can very often handle the call for you.

Not just that, but virtual assistants can also take care of business-specific tasks. For instance, if you are a real estate agent and have a househunting client who changes his mind every other day about what he’s looking for, your virtual assistant could pull possible house listings for you while you’re in-between showings.

Virtual Assistants Tip: Keep in mind that many virtual assistants can be hired on an as-needed basis, so that if your business has a “busy season,” you could easily keep a virtual assistant busy for that timeframe and then transition back to running a solo show when the busy season is over
