We've taken the liberty to make the discovery process easier by creating a list of our top finds. Learn what software savvy VAs use to run their businesses successfully from home.
The best software for Virtual Assistants are listed below:
1. FRESHBOOKS tracks man hours and overall productivity as well as invoices. You no longer have to waste paid labor rummaging through file cabinets for a time sheet that dates back to Reaganomics. Searching through backlogs has been reduced to a quick query in a search engine - something any virtual assistant or business will appreciate.
2. RING CENTRAL puts VA's and small businesses in Touch and In Control(TM) by unifying and intelligently managing all their phone, mobile, fax and email communications with a single phone number and an easy-to-use online control center. It's the first virtual phone system designed specifically to meet the needs of VA's, small businesses and mobile professionals
3. CENTRAL DESKTOP collaboration software helps virtual assistants to manage and connect with their clients from anywhere. It provides VAs with shared online workspaces. Each workspace is shared with each client. Instead of using email to send file revisions back & forth all files are kept online - all revisions are stored and accessible with tracked file version-control & all discussions between the virtual assistant and their client are part of a discussion thread.
4. MY FAX is the fastest growing Internet fax service used by individuals, virtual assistants, small, medium and large businesses to send and receive faxes using existing email accounts or the web. MyFax offers services in North America, Europe and the UK to industries recognized among the fastest growing adopters of Internet fax including finance, insurance, real estate, healthcare, transportation and government. MyFax lets you send and receive faxes through email from as little as $10 per month and includes one hundred faxes free per month.
5. TWITTER is a social networking and micro-blogging service that allows its users to send and read other users' updates (known as tweets), which are text-based posts of up to 140 characters in length. Updates are displayed on the user's profile page and delivered to other users who have signed up to receive them. Senders can restrict delivery to those in their circle of friends (delivery to everyone being the default).
There it is, a few handy tools that VAs can access from anywhere at any time. The good news is, most of them are free and if not free, they offer a free trial.
