Answers to common questions

What is a Virtual Assistant ?

A Virtual Assistant (VA) is a remote professional who is able to provide assistance with any and all admin-related tasks. At On-Demand Admin Solutions, we pride ourselves on the fact that no task is too small, whether that be simple data entry into a spreadsheet, typing up or digitising to email and file management.

The benefit of having an extra pair of hands without having to hire a full or even part-time member of staff. Here, when you need us, we offer flexible hourly rates, discounted multi-hour packages, or regular ongoing support.

Why should I use a VA over AI ?

As with all things there are advantages and disadvantages of Artificial Intelligence and Productive Apps compared with a Remote Virtual Human Assistant.
Some of the key points are shown in the table below.

The main difference is AI and Productivity apps can help you work fasters but a human VA will help you work less!

	AI and Productivity Apps	Human Remote VA
Workload	You are responsible for everything. Only completing tasks when prompted.	Helps you work less.
Task Completion	Assists with parts of tasks.	Manages tasks fully from start to finish.
Accountability	Zero accountability/ ownership, amendments take time and require direct input from you. No follow ups.	Fully accountable and adaptive. Tracks, follows up, and ensures completion.
Decision Making	Needs constant direction, cannot be proactive highly prescriptive.	Able to use initiative, working within your guidelines to make informed decisions.
Understanding of your business	Minimal, requires constant prompts, direction and adjustments.	Gains knowledge of your business during your free consultation. Able to learn your preferences, processes and priorities.
Communication	Limited to programmed responses e.g. chat bots on websites.	Able to handle real human interaction between clients, customers, members of your team.
Organisation	Requires your time to input and maintain systems.	Fully managed and kept up-to-date for you.
Scheduling	You handle setup, changes, and coordination.	Seamlessly managed, including rescheduling and associated tasks e.g. travel.
Speed vs accuracy	Speed over accuracy, you have to input the data, edit and check yourself.	Accuracy, but speed is important – you are regaining your time by delegating.
Cost	Often subscription based, or limited daily allowances.	Flexible pricing and packages available to suit your needs.

I run a small business, I have to do everything myself, right ?

Not at all! The key with any small business is learning how to prioritise, delegate and manage your time effectively. There are only so many hours in the day, a study in Forbes has shown that on average, small business owners can spend 36% of their working week on admin related tasks! 24 days a year on financial admin alone, that’s the equivalent of working 13 months but getting paid for just 12! That is not financially viable for anyone, it is not the reason you went into business for yourself. Reclaim your time today. Book your free consultation appointment now.
