In our global economy, businesses are searching for customers not only in their own country, but worldwide. We understand how difficult it is to communicate in a country when you are not able to speak the language fluently. Partnering with a bilingual virtual assistant, who can liaise with your customers and prospects in their native language, can be highly beneficial for your business.
A virtual assistant (often called a VA) is an independent entrepreneur dedicated to providing secretarial, administrative, Internet marketing, social media, website, languages, graphic, legal and/or real estate services from a home office to help businesses, solo entrepreneurs and busy individuals focus on the core aspects of their business, generating income, taking up new challenges, increasing their bottom line.
Whether you are the owner of a company conducting business in a French-speaking country, an executive on a business trip in Paris, France, or an expatriate living in Genève, Switzerland, a bilingual French-speaking virtual assistant can offer a full range of efficient, cost-effective solutions to help your business achieve a greater impact.
Business & event management
Planning a seminar in Europe? Your VA can handle logistics by finding and booking locations, making invitations, booking suppliers for the event and preparing your handout material.
Internet research and data compilation
There is so much information being shared online about your market, customers and competition. Your bilingual VA can collate important piece of information, translate them into English or summarizing them to you.
Marketing services
Have your bilingual virtual assistant:
- compile your material in newsletter format and send it out at the appropriate time,
- set up and implement your email marketing campaign,
- set up and manage your social media accounts,
- manage your blog and post new content on a regular basis
These are just a few examples of how a bilingual virtual assistant can help you.
She can provide you the support and assistance that you need at a fraction of the cost you would expect to pay if you had to hire a permanent or temporary staff member. Rely on this dedicated partner to handle efficiently the various tasks you want to outsource while you focus on more income-generating activities.
