DIGITAL DICTATION/TRANSCRIPTION
PARTNERING RELATIONSHIP

One of IAVOA’s missions is to promote the VA industry and provide viable resources for our members. I am pleased to announce we have developed a partnering relationship with one of our member VA organizations, The 24 Hour Secretary, that can increase individual VA exposure and revenue. This groundbreaking relationship will provide an opportunity for VAs to promote dictation/transcription as a service and/or expand their current offerings and capabilities to take full advantage of the newest dictation/transcription technologies. It is an excellent opportunity to increase your revenue stream and one that IAVOA endorses and recommends to all that are interested.

VAs can offer dictation/transcription services within their immediate locale and their website. The program offers three options, and VAs can pick the one that most fits their needs.

A prospect or client contacts a VA who does not have any dictation/transcription experience and has never offered the service. The VA obtains the pertinent information and forwards it to The 24 Hour Secretary. If the 24 Hour Secretary provides the service, the VA receives a 15% commission from the 1^st three months’ work. The 24 Hour Secretary will forward a copy of the client billing to the referring VA as proof of invoicing.

A prospect or present client contacts a VA who performs transcription service. However, the VA is unable to fulfill the request, due to overload, it is not their area of expertise (medical, legal, general, interview, insurance, correspondence, etc.), the job is too large to handle, vacation, etc. The 24 Hour Secretary provides the transcription service on behalf of the VA. The VA retains the client as their client. The VA receives a 5% referral fee and $.01 per line for all work transcribed, for the duration of time that we perform work for their client. The 24 Hour Secretary becomes the back room transcription support for the VA who wants to expand their offerings.

If the referring VA wants to transcribe via our digital dictation/transcription system, they will be paid the normal transcription rate, plus the referral fee. The 24 Hour Secretary will provide proofreading services, if requested. Again, the VA retains this account.

The VA wants to partner with The 24 Hour Secretary by directly and jointly promoting dictation/transcription under the auspices of The 24 Hour Secretary. The 24 Hour Secretary and VA will develop a marketing strategy for their immediate community and website. The VA receives a 20% commission for the 1^st three months of the contract, 15% for the next 3 months, and 10% thereafter for the duration of the contract. The VA has the option to transcribe as outlined in Option #2, and receive the $.01 per line commission for each line transcribed for up to one year. If the VA wishes to transcribe under the auspices of The 24 Hour Secretary, they will be required to meet The 24 Hour Secretary’s minimum requirements and timelines for completion of work.

We see this as a win-win partnering option for VAs, The 24 Hour Secretary, and VA clients. The 24 Hour Secretary has the latest technologies and experience to offer these services to our industry and members. IAVOA recognizes these capabilities, technological advantages, and the opportunity it gives our members to increase revenues. Digital dictation/transcription is The 24 Hour Secretary’s niche. Now, we can promote it as IAVOA members’ niche, enhance your offerings, and expand your growth.
