We're looking for a low-cost product or service that we can combine with our 'cloud' service (an online collaboration platform - check the Red Hot Tools for Bitrix24). It should be of obvious utility for startups and/or small entrepreneurs. Any ideas? (also, how do I take this down after the 12th?)See More

Communications with virtual assistant

If I'm looking for a virtual assistant to do things like:Help me with my personal schedule; perform searches on the internet for various purposes - business and personal; help me manage 3-4 contacts that pertain to mini-projects that I am involved in; and, if possible, a bit of website management.How will communications with this assistant be accomplished?  Email, mobile, Skype, platform from the company providing the VA? How does that work - where will the bulk of communications be carried out?See More
