What is a Virtual Assistant (VA)?
The
International Virtual Assistant
Association (IVAA)
defines a Virtual Assistant as:
“...an
independent entrepreneur providing administrative, creative and/or
technical services. Utilizing advanced technological modes of
communication and data delivery, a professional VA assists clients
in his/her area of expertise from his/her own office on a
contractual basis."
Traditionally known
as a Personal Assistant, Administrative Assistant, Office Manager,
Secretary, and a variety of other titles, Virtual Assistants provide
administrative and/or personal support "virtually," from their own home
office.
As a graduate of
Virtual Assistance U, Fastype provides virtual problem
solutions for your administrative challenges. Terry L. Green,
Certified Master Virtual Assistant (MVA), has completed a
comprehensive program that includes how to produce virtual "work that
matters" for our clients using the latest technology and expertise.
We support and respond to your requests from our home-based office.

listed in all of the right places."

What Does a Virtual Assistant (VA) Do?
As Virtual
Assistants, we partner with our clients to handle those day-to-day
administrative
support tasks that prevent you from effectively managing and
growing your busy speaking business or coaching practice. We free up
your valuable time so you can concentrate on doing what you do best . .
. speaking and coaching, or maybe even getting back to writing that book
you just haven't had time to finish or have never even had time to
start! By taking care of the administrative details, we save you time,
we save you money, and we reduce your stress levels by allowing you to
get back to doing those things that fuel your passion rather than drain
your time and energy. Our job is to do all of the things you would
expect and want a personal assistant to do, so that you don't have to.

staff because of distractions, meetings and commitments.

times their actual salary. You do the Math! What's the Smart Choice?
Fastype VA Services, Inc. is the choice to make.
