SBU Webinar: “Beyond the Basics: How Virtual Assistants Drive Small Business Success”

20four7VA’s VP of Growth, Karl vanVonno, recently hosted a webinar titled “Beyond the Basics: How Virtual Assistants Drive Small Business Success.”

The webinar is now available on Small Business University (SBU), Small Business Expo’s online learning platform, where entrepreneurs can access free webinars covering business-critical skills, strategies, and insights. The platform offers free daily webinars designed to help small business owners build their knowledge, overcome common challenges, and identify new opportunities for growth.

During the webinar, vanVonno opened by identifying some of the top challenges holding small businesses back and explaining how virtual assistant (VA) staffing can help address them. He also emphasized how VA staffing is more than a “temporary Band-Aid for low-level tasks.” Instead, VAs can take on meaningful responsibilities across different areas of a business, becoming valuable contributors to productivity, efficiency, and long-term growth.

One section of the webinar focused on the wide range of tasks that can be handled by a VA or a team of VAs, demonstrating how businesses can leverage remote talent across administrative, customer service, marketing, sales, and other functions. Another section explored the cost comparison between traditional in-house hiring and remote staffing, highlighting the potential for businesses to save up to 80% in labor costs compared with hiring new in-house employees.

Through these discussions, vanVonno highlighted how strategic VA staffing can help small businesses reduce costs, delegate more effectively, and build the capacity they need to grow without significantly increasing overhead. He also covered why working with a reputable VA staffing company like 20four7VA can provide businesses with enterprise-grade infrastructure, systems, and support, helping make remote staffing a secure, reliable, and sustainable solution for long-term growth.
