What is the role of a Virtual Assistant?<br />
Most business owners are overwhelmed<br />
and still don’t understand<br />
the importance of utilizing<br />
a virtual assistant. Can you explain<br />
to our readers the role of a<br />
virtual assistant?<br />
The role of a virtual assistant is to<br />
assist small and medium sized business<br />
owners with day-to-day tasks.<br />
Virtual Assistants consists of individuals,<br />
as well as companies, who<br />
work remotely from home as independent<br />
professionals, providing a<br />
wide range of products and services<br />
both to businesses as well as consumers.<br />
365 Virtual Solutions specializes<br />
in being a virtual call center <strong>for</strong><br />
small to mid-sized business owners.<br />
How does that work?<br />
We address the needs of these businesses<br />
with quality, round-the-clock<br />
answering services and virtual call<br />
center communications. Which<br />
when not addressed properly and<br />
promptly, could mean lost opportunities<br />
<strong>for</strong> the company. We provide<br />
a virtual number <strong>for</strong> the business so<br />
that they can <strong>for</strong>ward their calls to<br />
us. Then, we answered their calls in<br />
their company name. We also provide<br />
real-time messaging.<br />
What is one of the biggest challenges<br />
that businesses face handling<br />
their own incoming calls<br />
and following up with their clients?<br />
The biggest challenge <strong>for</strong> most<br />
small companies is losing new and<br />
<strong>for</strong>mer clients to voicemail. Studies<br />
have shown that callers are unlikely<br />
to leave a voicemail or reach out a<br />
second time, if their initial contact<br />
is left unanswered. That’s where<br />
365 Virtual Solutions can help. Customers<br />
love to hear a live person answered<br />
the phone.<br />
What is your experience in this<br />
industry and what inspired you to<br />
start 365 Virtual Solutions? How<br />
long have you been in business?<br />
I’d worked many years in the call<br />
center industry be<strong>for</strong>e starting my<br />
own call center company in 2013. I<br />
used that experience to help create a<br />
professional service <strong>for</strong> my clients.<br />
