We’ve talked about how small businesses and freelancers benefit from outsourcing tasks to visual assistants (VAs). This website is full of articles to prove this point.
But we recently received an enquiry to see if bigger market players can benefit from assistance that we provide.
It honestly isn’t the first time we’ve received such skepticism. It is a common myth that multi-national corporations can afford to hire people on full-time basis; which we do not doubt for a minute. What we’re trying to say is that one should not discount the fact that VAs can also be a part of a bigger existing ecosystem.
Some of the ways we personally have helped larger corporations include:
If you still don’t take our word for it, let these big players convince you of otherwise:
“Still, the thrifty culture and informal atmosphere keeps many founders and CEOs locked in DIY day in and day out. But if you’re wasting hours each morning poring over numbers, sifting through resumes, or picking out picture frames, you’re doing yourself – and your burgeoning company – a disservice.” – Mikita Mikado (co-founder and CEO of electronic signing software PandaDoc), via Here Are The Tasks Startup CEOs Should Always Outsource
“One of the great features of this relationship is that I don’t have all the overhead you would usually have with an assistant. She is technically “contract labor.” As a result, I don’t have to pay her payroll taxes, provide her healthcare, or purchase her equipment.” – Michael Hyatt (Virtual Mentor), via Should You Consider Hiring A Virtual Assistant?
“My executive assistant has become key to my productivity. With someone to attend to administrative details, I can focus on building my business.” – Dave Kerpen (CEO, Likeable Local) via 6 Ways a Good Assistant Can Change Your Life
And if this still isn’t enough, the man behind the four-hour-work-week is here to divulge it all. Read through his handy guide on how to work with a VA for a task as simple as checking your email via The Holy Grail: How To Outsource the Inbox and Never Check Email Again.
We hope that these quotes finally debunk any myths you have about VAs only being able to help smaller entities. We can go big, too!
Finally convinced that you could use some extra help to sort out your unfinished tasks? Drop us a note today and we’ll love to chat and offer you customised solutions to do just that and more!

Some of the ways we personally have helped larger corporations include:
- Acting as their social media engagement wing
- Handling personal tasks for senior management (keying in name cards, researching travel options, scheduling appointments, etc)
- Researching on relevant topics to fill up information gaps (best banks to get a loan from, available software comparison and options, etc).
