New Virtual Assistant Company Helps Small Businesses Save Time And Money In Tough Economic Times

    CHARLESTON, SC, November 14, 2008 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The recent worldwide economic downturn and tight credit market have sent business owners and entrepreneurs scrambling to find ways to reduce overhead costs. A highly effective method for reducing operating costs is to outsource business processes to virtual assistants.

We are proud to announce the formation of Virtual Assistant Inc., a remarkable virtual assistant service. We started this organization to fill a void in the business process outsourcing field; providing technically skilled virtual assistants (VA's) who can offer more than basic secretarial services. Having used outsourcing ourselves for the past 10 years has allowed us to identify a demand for VA's that have advanced skills in computer science that can help online business owners with everything from graphic design to search engine optimization.

Virtual Assistant Inc. is headquartered in Charleston, South Carolina with overseas offices located in the Philippines. This location was chosen because of the large pool of college graduates with degrees in computer science and because English is the common language used. After a rigorous pre-employment screening process, the selected VA's are then placed in a comprehensive and continuous training program. Unlike many other VA services, VA's at Virtual Assistant Inc. don't work from home; they work in a professional office setting that allows for more management support and greater accountability.

In these uncertain economic times, many businesses don't have the budget or space to hire additional full-time employees. Using skilled and exceptionally trained virtual assistants is an innovative and cost effective solution to staffing issues. Virtual Assistant Inc. provides professional services in areas such as website development, graphic design, search engine optimization, link building and content writing for online businesses.

Craig Donnelly, the founder of Virtual Assistant Inc., has used his past experience with outsourcing to develop a niche in the virtual assistant industry that wasn't being provided by others. Regarding the company's unique services, Donnelly remarks "When I think of what we're trying to do, Bill Graham's elliptical quote concerning the Grateful Dead comes to mind: 'They're not the best at what they do - they're the only ones that do what they do'. I feel the same about what we're trying to accomplish in this industry. No other virtual assistant company provides their clients with the level of service that we do. My own experience with outsourcing has led me to the realization that there is a demand for highly skilled virtual assistants that is not currently being met."
