Testimonial Raves ...

We received over 35 responses to our posting on Virtual Assistant Networking for a VA. There were so many qualified candidates that responded within hours of our posting. I believe we made the right decision in hiring a VA with years of experience and a wonderful personality! Thank you so much for having this forum for Virtual Assistants."

Just like any other Friday, I thought everything was well taken care of in my office services business and I was ready to head off to Bellingham with my kids to go shopping. Just as I am getting ready to go out the door I receive this e-mail message from my French translator: "Sorry but I can't do the translation that I was supposed to have ready for Monday morning, you better find someone else.” Panic!!! Where was I going to find a French translator at 2:30 on a Friday afternoon that will have a translation ready for Monday morning? There was no way that I could do it since "Mercy" is as fluent as I am in French. Panic!!! Panic!!! I finally came to my senses and went to the VAnetworking.com and posted a RFP Help!!! I immediately found a French/ English translator ready to start working within minutes of posting my RFP. The work was professional, on time (Saturday evening), just great!!!!! As far as the VAnetworking.com goes, in my opinion it is the best place online to find a Virtual Assistant. It is the first time I used it for something like this, and the experience was 100% good. When the client walked in Monday morning, I was so happy and relaxed, Thanks VANA!

But, the quality of the bids was significantly higher than Elance. These women (and most of them were indeed women) really knew their stuff and offered good detail to me in their proposals. I even had a great VA bid who had an office in Tampa - only about a half hour from me...Read More
