Team Double-Click® recently launched their answer to the increasing challenges of working in corporate America: the Licensed Virtual Assistant program. A Team Double-Click® Licensed Virtual Assistant is an individual who wishes to build their client base, backed by Team Double-Click’s® recognized branding and stellar reputation.

With this ground-breaking program, virtual assistants pay a flat monthly fee to be licensed by Team Double-Click®. Licensing will allow virtual assistants to use the Team Double-Click® name, brand, logo, and marketing messages to obtain their own clients rather than wait for Team Double-Click® to find clients for them. In growing their virtual assistant business, a Licensed Virtual Assistant will have the ability to perform the work themselves or to earn additional income by placing clients with Team Double-Click's® highly trained support-level virtual assistants.

I had a chance to talk to Gayle recently. The following are a few insightful excerpts from our conversation - click here for the complete interview.

Many individuals are interested in working from home, but don’t believe they can make the kind of income they make in corporate America. Why was it so important to create the Licensed Virtual Assistant program and do you believe it can be a long-term solution to the growing concerns we have with the current state of our economy?

We created the Licensed Virtual Assistant program as a viable alternative to the corporate job where individuals literally have the opportunity to make over $100k a year. The amount of money that they generate with this opportunity is completely up to them. A good analogy is to look at the Licensed Virtual Assistant program as similar to how Real Estate Agents pay a “desk fee” to build their business utilizing the reputation of the brokerage company that they work with.

In reading some of the articles that you have wrote, you have mentioned numerous times your concern for the environment. Why do you feel so strongly about this topic and how can virtual staffing help the global concerns we are all facing?

Team Double-Click® created the Licensed Virtual Assistant program as an option to grow a home-based business, in part to help the environment. Team Double-Click® believes that we all need to do our part to help the environment and those facing the daily challenges of working outside the home with the current economic landscape. We want to help as many individuals to be able to work from home and be there for their families.

Can you share why you believe that it is imperative that companies consider finding staffing solutions through a virtual channel, like Team Double-Click®?

The business landscape is ever-changing and the cost to fill a corporate position continues to rise. The average cost of an employee can be as much as 2 1/2 times their salary and includes social security, vacation/sick time, health insurance, worker’s compensation and Medicare. When hiring virtual assistants, companies do not have the costs involved with regular employees and can save thousands of dollars a year.

What are the benefits for companies to work with Team Double-Click® for their staffing needs?

With Team Double-Click®, the companies’ needs are assessed and based upon their requirements; they are matched with a highly-skilled and trained virtual assistant. Our virtual assistants use the most advanced means of communication, and the newest, most efficient and time-saving office products and work delivery, without any geographic boundaries.
