Virtual Assistant Industry Survey

Be a part of the largest, most comprehensive, in-depth and representative survey in the Virtual Assistant Industry.

HURRY: Deadline to participate and receive a free copy of the results report is August 31, 2008!

We want to provide you with the information that will help you and your business be even more competitive and successful. The value of this data to our profession is absolutely priceless and enhanced with every additional response. Your participation is vital and will benefit the entire Virtual Assistant community.

This year's theme focuses on how the media portrays our industry, what they're getting wrong and what they're getting right, our qualification standards and the issues that give a black-eye to the profession. Our collective voices can be heard and have a very real impact on properly educating those who work with us and write about us. That's why it's so very important that each and every Virtual Assistant take a moment to participate, be counted and have their say.

Your answers will be handled in strict confidence. No respondent-identifiable or organization-identifiable information will be published whatsoever.

The VACOC annual Virtual Assistant Industry Survey is open to anyone who:

Is a Virtual Assistant according to the definition;
Has at least 5 years upper level secretary/administrative assistant experience;
Works for themselves and is open for business (regardless of whether they have clients yet or not)
Is not a virtual staffing agency or team VA business;
Offers support that is primarily administrative in nature.

Survey categories include:

Individual Demographics
Business Demographics
Education, Experience & Credentials
Employees & Subcontractors
Clients & Target Markets
Hours & Services
Pricing & Income
Training & Continuing Education
Marketing & Networking
Success, Profitability & Entrepreneurship
Standards, Ethics & Educating the Public

There are a total of 101 questions. Past surveys indicate that it should only take about 20 minutes to complete the survey in full. You won't notice the clock though—it's very fun and fast-paced, and will seem like a breeze. Just be sure you take it in one sitting as you won't be able to come back and continue where you left off if you stop in the middle.

IMPORTANT: At the end of the survey, if you wish to receive the full survey results report (73-100 pages) for free, you will need to follow the link at the end of the survey to sign up. Once the report is completed at the end of 2008, the full report will be automatically sent to you via email. Otherwise, if you don't wish to share your name and contact info, you can wait for the free abridged version of the survey results (that report includes only about half of the survey questions and results).

So let's get started!
