Why should I hire a VA?• Time savings: A virtual assistant can take care of routine and repetitive tasks that may not require your personal attention, such as scheduling appointments, managing email accounts, and updating social media. • Reduced costs: A virtual assistant is cheaper than hiring your own full-time in-house employee. Our VA's are usually 30-40% cheaper than your local hires. • Expanded reach: A virtual assistant can help you reach new markets and customers by providing services in different languages, time zones, or regions. • Flexibility: A VA from OLM can work part-time or full-time. You set the hours and time-zone you need. You only pay for work done, no sick-leave, maternity benefits, yearly bonus or office space is needed - just pay hourly and get the work done. Stop the contract with 1 weeks notice.
