The following table outlines the advantages to hiring one dynamite team vs. one do-it-all VA for a large, ongoing workload.

 

What you need …	in a Virtual Team …	VS. one Virtual Assistant who …
drastically reduced learning curves + flat hourly rates = best value every time	you pay a flat rate for every possible skill set—no matter how high; assignments are matched to already highly trained and specialized team members, and ... even at higher than average rates, these highly efficient VAs are guaranteed to save you money in the long run	can’t possibly possess every skill; charge for time-draining learning curves when mastering a new skill; and may not have the interest or time to do every type of assignment, leaving you looking to expand to a team anyway
happy workers + guaranteed backup = a growing investment	team members are motivated because they are doing what they enjoy team members are happy with their share of the workload team members support each other’s workload, and ... are ready for new assignments when you are	may enjoy some assignments but rarely enjoy all assignments will drop the team quickly if unhappy, unsatisfied, or overwhelmed will have to put off work while on vacation or out sick, and ... can only handle (or only want to handle) so much at one time
high efficiency + reduced management = faster results	team members continually pool their resources time-saving technology is used whenever possible highly efficient internal systems are developed one person—your Virtual Team Leader—delegates all assignments, and ... projects are worked on simultaneously by different team members	may have to seek out advice from peers may have to compromise efficient systems in favor of assignment deadlines, and can become easily overwhelmed when self-managing large workloads

Think building your own team is no big deal?  C'mon.  You know there's always a catch.  Don't be fooled by common myths.

Unfortunately egos and budgets typically get in the way of building dynamite virtual support teams.  Even the most savvy small business owners learn the hard way.  Have you ever said to yourself:

1. "I need one do-it-all-VA."

2. "I already have an in-house assistant.  She's got the same skills.."

3. "Lower rates are a bargain."

4. "Of course, I understand the profession."

5. "I know how to find a real professional in no time."

6. "I just need someone with ___ skills."

7. "I refuse to work on retainers."

8. "I know how to negotiate a budget that suits my needs."

9. "I know how to keep track of assignments and retainers."

10. "I'm worried about my routine in-house tasks."

11. "I just need to focus on assignments right now—the rest will come."

12. "I understand all my VA's current policies."

13. "I know how to calculate my ROI."

14. "I'm not worried about micro-management or under-management."

15. "I'm getting all I can out of my VA(s)."

16. "Hiring VAs is just like hiring a traditional employee or temp."

17. "I know how to lead and motivate a remote team."

18. "I don't need to invest in or upgrade technology right now."

19. "I don't need to be involved in decisions based on technology or systems."

20. "I only need to touch base with my VAs when I need them."

21. "I can't afford the time it takes my team create a bunch of new systems or document all their procedures."

22. "I can call my VA(s) day or night--and get immediate results."

23. "VAs are experts at figuring out assignments."

24. "I shouldn't have to pay for learning curves."

25. "I don't think we need a contract."
