OVC Marketing / Virtual Assistants
Our Virtual Assistants understand the pressure you face as a business or project owner and are committed to helping you in a way that can make a real difference.
Created in early 2009, using the backroom team who provide support for our consultants, our VA service today provides a versatile service, developed to give access to a wide range of business support services and disciplines which lend themselves to outsourcing.
Our Virtual Assistants, although European, have experience working in Asia, Australia, Europe and the Middle East and this experience and understanding of cultural differences and your customers expectations sets us apart from most other VA services.
Delegating repetitive tasks frees up valuable time for business owners and managers to concentrate on growing their business, confident in the knowledge their Virtual Assistant is an expert who has a vested interest in their success.

- Recession - Your business need to downsize, office space, office staff, marketing etc, but still needs the professional support these departments provide
- The more your business grows, the more administrative tasks you have; the less time you have to generate new business
- How much is your time worth, US$ 30 or more than a US$ 100 per hour?

Do Virtual Assistants Represent Value For Money?
The litmus test is how much is an hour of your time worth. Therefore, start by determining if doing a particular task is worth your time and calculate how much money it is worth to you if you outsource it to a Virtual Assistant .
Lets say, you can make $100 an hour meeting your customers and selling the products or service you provide, but your contact list needs updating so that you can send invitations for an important trade show next month.
You can pay a Virtual Assistant $35 per hour to update your contact list and prepare your invitations meaning you earn $ 65 per hour.
Alternatively you can do it your self and lose the opportunity to promote your business or maybe worse do it in the time you should be enjoying with your family.
Delegating the less profitable, but never the less important tasks to your a Virtual Assistant leaves you with the time to focus on growing your business and being with your family.
