LongerDays.com Shakes Off Recession With Virtual Assistants
Do you wish your days were longer so you could get more done and still have plenty of time to have fun? LongerDays.com aims to help you achieve both goals with virtual employee and virtual assistant services.
Unlike many virtual assistant providers that rely on cheap overseas labor, LongerDays.com has built its business on the concept that there is a market for quality, security and service that is only available via U.S.-based virtual assistants. The five-year-old virtual assistant company is proving its point with a growing business.
Here’s how it works: Rather than hiring a single part-time employee, which can be a risk for many small businesses and startups in a recession, companies that need help can hire a virtual assistant from LongerDays.com. A laundry list of virtual services are available, from administrative assistance and web design to ghostwriting and receptionists. It’s a perfect fit or your virtual office.
Hiring a virtual assistant is often more cost-effective for small businesses that need a variety of skill sets that a single person may not possess. By tapping into a labor pool of virtual assistants, companies can mine the skills they need from various virtual assistants. LongerDays.com likes to think of it as having a “super employee” that can do it all, even though it’s a team of virtual employees making it happen.
“You would not believe how good it feels to have those extra two or three hours each day,” Jay Thornton, a former contender for the U.S. Olympic team and owner of American Gymnast said during a 2010 interview about LongerDays for MiBiz Magazine. He added that the additional help he gets gives him more time to grow his business, which is up over 20 percent in revenue, compared to the previous year.
LongerDays.com is one of the largest providers of virtual assistance in America According to the latest survey published by the Virtual Assistant Networking Association. The company has been growing, acquiring new clients and employees, and garnering online buzz from their perch on the third floor of the historic Hovey House in Downtown Muskegon.
