Baltimore, MD, November 30, 2007 --(
PR.com)-- Many small businesses offer a great product or service but are managed by overwhelmed owners trying to juggle every aspect of the business themselves. Too often, one of three outcomes occurs: business obligations become neglected, the owners burn themselves out, or the business folds.
What these owners lack is what every effective business needs – a great team that includes a competent secretary, a PR director, a marketing department, an accounting team, and a human resources department. But for many small business owners this may seem like an impractical luxury. According to industry expert, Vernise Bolden, “Many small businesses are overwhelmed and understaffed. They need help managing time consuming tasks that are required to keep their business afloat but are limited in resources.”
Bolden, a personal assistant and President of
Virtually Yours Personal Assistants, supports small businesses, non-profits, and individuals across the country with their administrative needs. Her company is part of a growing trend among companies, large and small – outsourcing. By outsourcing, companies relieve themselves of non-core operations and make more effective use of capital, labor, and resources.
Often the needs of the business are sporadic, with professional support needed in many different areas at intermittent intervals. While the business may require a weekly email marketing campaign, monthly customer follow-ups, and quarterly accounting its scarcely enough work to justify the cost of new employee. Virtually Yours Personal Assistants supports the growth and development of businesses by allowing them to outsource their back office support needs when they need assistance, freeing the small business owner to cultivate their service or product knowing that their critical tasks will be completed.
Each business is assigned a personal assistant who manages experienced designers, accountants, and business managers called on to address specific tasks. “Our clients, whether coffee shops or law firms, all need the same thing – an efficient, reliable team invested in helping them succeed. We allow our customers to focus on what they do best, knowing that their needs are being professional managed.”
