3 VIRTUAL GURUS REVIEW WHY THE FUTURE IS OURS TO MOLD V I R T U A L ASSISTANTS, VIRTUAL R E C E P T I O N I S T S, VIRTUAL MANAGEMENT. According to Wikipedia, virtual assistants are independent contractors rather than employees, clients are not responsible for any employee-related taxes, insurance or benefits,clients also avoid the logistical problem of providing extra office space, equipment or supplies. Clients pay for 100% productive work, and can work with Virtual Assistants, individually, or in multi-va firms to meet their exact needs. The next phase of virtual workers are Virtual Specialists who concentrate on delivering their "specialized" services virtually. Marketing, social media, internet marketing, bookkeeping, reception, sales and management are just a few of the specialized areas that clients can now outsource to. "Virtual" relates to the method of delivering the service rather than the service itself. As the industry progresses, it is feasible that a band of virtual business managers will materialize and they will provide management skills and experience to small business owners and entrepreneurs who have had no training in management Canadian virtual Gurus is a Multi-Va Firm. It's approach is to have assistants readily available when needed. The client signs a yearly membership fee which allows them to upload tasks to their assistant. Internal Project Managers check in on the work being delegated to the assistant to assure the client tasks are getting done on time. Virtual Gurus Project Managers hand pick the best assistant for the client by using an Algorithm data Analysis on the internal data base of trained and experienced assistants. Virtual workers wanting to be a part of the firm also have a sign up process where they are interviewed, tested and handed test tasks, their time and work is monitored at all times. Virtual Gurus are also required to sign up to two classes a year with VA Classroom. In conclusion, Canadian Virtual Gurus are molding the future for Virtual Workers in Canada. Although the States has a few similar companies, Canada has stepped up to the plate to finally offer these services.

4 VIRTUAL GURUS FEATURE 1 Case Studies 2 3 ADRIANNE Sanjit (Broker company) wanted his Virtual Assistant Adriane to do market research for a future development lands for a hotel building sales. He needed a full report on his desk within a week. Sanjit and Adriane had a training session on what he needed done. Adriane spent her week researching geographic populations, building graphs, building maps of area and anything else to get the report done. She worked hard to learn the ropes on market research when she had no experience. Client was happy with outcome. KATHY "Kill them with success and bury them with a smile" Q&A: DEBBY JOBIN Debby Jobin opens up about her Virtual Assistant process, tips and more Brent with Century 21 called in. He wanted a Virtual Assistant who could datamine and research the top Realtors across Canada with more than 5 million in Sales. Phew! Kathy took on this task and spent 3 weeks building a full excel sheet with more than 4000 realtors in different provinces. She needed to spend many hours on the computer to achieve this task. When this was done her next task was to contact each one of those realtors to discuss a referral program. It took Kathy nearly 3 months to finish but she did it! JULIE Workplace Janitorial needed someone to answer their calls, make appointments and take orders for their cleaning supplies. Julie was up to the task and did just that. The client did not have any processes set in place so Julie needed to build the procedure herself of doing the tasks. When the phone rang one of her duties was to set up the client for a commercial cleaning consultation so that they could send out cleaners, Julie often up-sold obtaining more sales for the client. ON HER VA PROCESS I love deadlines. I love the whooshing noise they make as they go by.
