FAQ’s

What is a Virtual or Executive Assistant?

A Virtual Assistant, is a Personal or Executive Assistant who works remotely. Virtual Assistants can handle virtually all of the same tasks that an in-house assistant provides. What kinds of tasks are not allowed?
  • Incoming phone calls: Feel free to call your Virtual Assistant regarding tasks, but please do not give their phone number out. Our Virtual Assistants cannot receive incoming calls for you or your business.
  • Sales calls: Our Virtual Assistants cannot do “cold calls.” We can definitely make calls on your behalf, but we cannot pitch your product or make sales calls of any kind.
  • Running Errands: Aim2Assist is a “virtual” company. Even if by coincidence, the Virtual Assistant is based in Client’s area, he/she is not permitted to run errands for clients under any circumstances.
  • Shipping and/or receiving packages on clients’ behalf: Clients may send packages to their VA for the VA’s personal use such as gifts or supplies being used for Client purposes, however, VA’s are not permitted to ship packages on clients’ behalf under any circumstances.
  • Inappropriate tasks: Our Virtual and Executive Assistants will not handle any tasks that are explicitly personal and private in nature.
