How many business opportunities do you miss because of your chaos?
You shouldn’t have to do everything. And now you don’t have to.
As a busy leader, there are a lot of things on your plate. Whether it’s managing email, staying on top of project updates, or creating important documents, there are so many details required to run a successful organization. But those details come at a heavy cost: your time. Too many leaders embody a superhero persona (minus the spandex), thinking they have superhuman productivity. Yet that potential stays in the world of fantasy, never translating to reality.
What you need is a team. At BELAY, we connect you with an experienced Virtual Assistant to help so you can take the organization to reach new heights. Your virtual assistant goes through a rigorous search process (our acceptance rate is lower than Harvard’s), ensuring you get the right assistant for your needs. So instead of accomplishing those important (but time-consuming) administrative tasks, you get the most valuable asset in business: more time to focus on what matters most.

Got a question? No problem.
Our team is here to help!
VA can handle your calendar, appointments, manage your email accounts, post social media, proof/edit documents, book travel arrangements, coordinate between clients and/or team members, and coordinate almost anything you need!
No, you will have one dedicated VA that we match you with based on your needs, industry, personality and working style.
Your Client Success Consultant will be there to help. You’ll work together to find a new match and keep your downtime to a minimum. If there are any minor hiccups, we will address them and find a solution.
That will be between you and your new assistant. If there are times you know are slower, then let your VA know that would be a good time for time off. Commit to over-communicate with each other so work can be done ahead of time and productivity doesn’t lapse.
All our contractors sign a Confidentiality Agreement to protect you and your business. If you would like any additional contracts, then we can discuss that. We highly recommend strong passwords and using a password manager to keep your accounts secure.
We get it. Handing over the decision on who will work with you is a tough one. But what we also know after helping people just like you is that you don’t have time to devote to screening and setting up interviews. We have a customized system to match you to someone equipped to handle everything you need accomplished.
It depends on how many hours you are contracted for. You can have specific time periods where your phone can be forwarded to your assistant. If your Virtual Assistant isn’t able to answer in that moment, they can return calls and triage those messages. If you need a full-time receptionist, we recommend Ruby Receptionist – we use them and love them.
Yes, they are there to support your communication to your team and clients.
No, our assistants are available Monday-Friday, 9 AM – 5 PM.
You know your product best! They can relieve other admin and support tasks that will allow you added time for those calls.
Yes, you will be assigned a Client Success Consultant who will walk through onboarding with you and who is there as a coach and resource for your entire time here at BELAY.
The VA can “ebb and flow” your hours throughout the month. We just shoot to come in at the contracted amount at the end of the month. If they go over, we simply bill the extra hours, but they do not roll over to the next month. We track and report on those during onboarding to make sure you are at a good amount of hours for the work needed.
You’re right – it happens! We know it’s a possibility that you’ll get to the place in your business where you want to expand your W-2 team, and we love nothing more than knowing we helped you find your first (or second or fifth) hire. Talk to your Solutions Consultant about the details.
