Why You’re Probably Underestimating Virtual Assistants (And Missing Out on Insane Talent)
When most people hear “Virtual Assistant,” they imagine someone clicking around in a Google Doc, maybe answering a few emails—or worse, they think of someone who just barely speaks English, doing mindless busywork for cheap.
Let’s be real: that stereotype is completely wrong.
At Unlock VA, we work with highly educated, ridiculously experienced, and wildly talented professionals who happen to live outside the U.S. Many of them speak better English than your last hire. Seriously.
Let me break it down.
Our VAs Aren’t Just Assistants - They’re Experts from UnlockVA
Take Catherine. She's managed payroll, overseen entire rental portfolios, supervised maintenance teams, drafted legal leases, coordinated investment paperwork, and handled HR onboarding. Oh, and she did it all while managing communications, banking tasks, and leading operations for multiple companies.....on the graveyard shift.
She also spent years in risk analysis for companies like PayPal and Capital One. That’s not entry-level assistant work - that’s corporate-level, decision-making experience.
You Need Sales Support? Scherma’s Got You.
Scherma was an English instructor in China, has 10+ years in customer service and tech support, and spent time in HR and project management. She cold calls homeowners across the U.S., speaks clearly, communicates like a boss, and knows how to convert leads without sounding like a script robot.
Oh, and she has a degree in industrial engineering. So if you're wondering whether your VA can "handle" your business operations or follow complicated systems—yes, she can. In fact, she might improve them.
Lanie? She’s Supporting a Law Firm—From Across the World.
That’s right. Lanie worked for a personal injury law firm in Las Vegas, handling schedules, intake, communications, and support. Before that, she was in the BPO industry—refining her skills in problem-solving, multitasking, and client care. She's detail-oriented, calm under pressure, and tech-savvy with tools you probably don’t even know how to use.
Many of Our VAs Were Teachers or English Instructors.
Let me say that again: many of our VAs were professional teachers and instructors. That means they have not just strong English fluency, but also training skills, patience, structure, and communication expertise.
They’re used to giving instructions, managing classrooms, leading conversations, and adapting to different learning styles. You know what that means for you? Smooth onboarding, fewer mistakes, and clear communication every step of the way.
So, What Can Your VA Do?
Let’s flip the script. Ask instead:
What CAN’T they do?
Don’t Sleep on Global Talent.
The biggest mistake small businesses make? Assuming their budget limits them to junior-level support. At Unlock VA, we connect you with trained professionals who bring years of experience, serious work ethic, and real results to your business for a fraction of the cost of hiring someone in-house.
If you're still thinking of a VA as just someone to “lighten your inbox”… you're missing the real opportunity.
