How We Work
If you’re wondering what it’s like to work with Indispensable Online as your “virtual assistant” — and how to get the process started — here are the basics:
Step 1 — Consultation
Before you hire Indispensable Online, we provide a free consultation — by phone, video conference, or in person. During the consultation, we’ll discuss your particular business needs and make recommendations.
Step 2 — Contract
If you choose to hire us, Indispensable Online will put together a contract outlining the agreed-upon services, terms, and rates. The contract will provide the detail needed to clarify the work arrangement, so that we are both clear on what to expect.
Step 3 — Work Begins!
After we both sign the contract, our work for you can begin, and you can start taking advantage of the extra time in your schedule.
Q: How do I communicate with Indispensable Online?
Advances in technology make it possible for us to work together as if we were in the same office, even if we are in separate locations.
We can communicate in a high-tech way — through instant messaging, Skype, e-mail, and remote computer access — or by conventional modes, such as phone, U.S. mail, UPS and FedEx.
Q: How do I get my work to Indispensable Online?
Together, we’ll decide which tools and modes we’ll use to communicate and exchange work. We understand that what suits one client may not suit another, so we’ll agree on a method that fits your work style and preferences.
We do recommend remote computer access, because it is a highly efficient way for us to support your administrative needs.
Remote computer access is secure, and all work is done on your computer. We never remove or transfer data without your approval. If you do not wish to allow remote computer access, we can still provide administrative support by e-mail, phone, fax, and so on.
Q: How will I receive my completed work?
We’ll discuss the options and agree on a method for delivering work that suits your work style and preferences.
