There are three reasons that coworking spaces should think about using virtual assistants:
- To grow your own coworking business or to make your own business more sustainable without adding another full-time team member.
- To help your members do the same…and to help them to be more successful so that they can afford to continue to be members.
- To consider offering a VA service to your members as an additional revenue stream.
Molly Rose Speed is the founder of Virtual Assistant Management, a Training and Placement company for Virtual Assistants.
