Can an Assistant pay my employees?2024-11-05T04:21:58-06:00

What can’t an Assistant do?2024-11-05T04:22:03-06:00

Perhaps, better than asking what an assistant is capable of is asking what they are not capable of. Prosper has seen that an assistant can be trained on almost any task but it depends on how much time the client is willing to invest into training the assistant. Prosper does not recommend having any assistants handle any company funds, transfer money in any facet for the business, nor have access to sensitive data such as social security numbers. Prosper is not responsible if a client allows their virtual assistant to handle any financial matters for the company. We also do not recommend having any Prosper assistants of draft any legal contracts creating a relationship between yourself and a 3rd party. Prosper will not be held responsible for any legal contracts that are drafted without their permission.

Can assistants answer the telephone?2024-11-05T04:23:10-06:00

Yes, all of our virtual assistants have been trained to take incoming phone calls and listen to customer issues and take accurate notes. They will then delegate the issue to the appropriate member of your team. However, we do not recommend they answer your phones until after they have worked with you for several weeks. Putting your assistant in a situation where they need to answer quickly without getting verification if their response is correct does not put them in a position to succeed for you.
