My belief is that the highest and bests for this profession bases the role in partnership with others — not on piecework, project-work, or overflow-work, and not on transactional relationships.

A virtual professional (VP) is a micro business owner who provides administrative and personal support to clients in long-term and deeply collaborative relationships. A VP frees a client up to do more of what the client loves and does best.

Most virtual professionals are expatriate administrative and executive assistants from the corporate world

The advance of technology has made geographical distances a moot issue, and opens a talent pool impossible to touch when tapping the local market.

Virtual Professional are not employees.    You work “with” a VP.

Virtual Professionals bill at rates $30+ per hour.

With the advanced administrative and virtual skills they have, that’s a very fair fee, even perhaps a bit low. When you think about the value of your own time, and what you could do with more of it, it starts to look like a heck of a deal.

The more professional, industry-specific education a VP has, more experience working with virtual clients, the more she can make happen for her clients, and the more vast her resources, the higher her fee will be. (Some of our VPs charge $100+ an hour because of their incredible skills and experiences.) Many VPs work on a retainer agreement with clients – they block a certain number of hours per month to be used by a client. The client pays a monthly fee (a certain number of hours X $/hour = monthly retainer) at the beginning of each month. Unused hours don’t roll over to the next month. Expenses are additional. The per hour rate on a retainer is usually discounted by about 10%, in recognition of the client’s willingness to buy a block of time. A retainer relationship comes with a higher level of commitment to the partnership created – for both people.

A virtual professional time is 100% productive time.

Virtual Professional invest heavily in themselves and their businesses, all for the benefit of their clients.

Virtual Professional are life-long learners. They are curious, open, receptive to new ideas, and they take the time to really hone their craft. Never move into a relationship with a VP who isn’t taking steps to better him/herself.
