We will take care of your boring, time-consuming, and tedious tasks. We don't mind!
Take a look at just some of what we can do
for you... |
Our goal is to free up your time, increase your productivity, and reduce the amount of stress in your life. So you could think of your virtual assistant in a number of ways. They can be your worker bee (helping you get things done and taking care of the things you don't want to do), or your secretary (helping you manage your work and life). We think the term "personal assistant" sums it up best because, really, we can help you with any random task you have - personal or professional - that doesn't require our physical presence.
Most of our clients are small business owners who need some extra help getting things done. We can help take care of those things that get neglected or procrastinated, those things that are absorbing all of your time, and anything that you don't have to be doing yourself. The end result is that you can focus on the truly important, high-leverage activities within your business that need your attention so you can improve your bottomline.
The ways that we can do this are endless. Here is just a small, random sampling of the types of things we can do for you:
Proofread documents. It's always amazing what another set of eyes can find.
Graphic design. Our inhouse graphic artist can design you a logo, a simple website (no programming required), or a beautiful brochure for your business. For you and your family, our design skills can be used to create invitations to birthdays and other family get togethers.
Go paperless. Have a stack of papers (bills, invoices, receipts, etc.) taking up space? Now you can get rid of them... or have a digital backup just in case.
Keep in touch with your family. We can set up a website with a network of blog accounts - one for each member of your family. A fun, organized way to centralize communication with your family. A great way to share pictures, videos, and family updates.
Digitize your photo collection. Have a high-quality digital backup of your precious old photos.
Sell your stuff. We are experienced eBayers and can design a professional, detailed eBay listing so you can get top dollar for stuff that you would like to get rid of. We can also post ads on Craigslist and in your local paper, handle inquiries about the item, etc.
Get updated. How nice would it be to get an email every morning telling you the weather forecast, the top 3 local and national news stories, your daily horoscope, stock prices for your holdings, sports highlights, and the winning lottery numbers? Whatever is important to you, we'll compile that information into a beautiful email and you'll get it at the same time everyday.
Add online chat to your website. We can answer your visitors questions and help them with your ordering process. A great service to offer that increases the usefulness of your website and helps increase sales.
Pay your bills. We can pay some or all of your bills for you. Of course, this is where our commitment to security and reliability come into play.
Get reminders. We can send you reminders via text messages, phone calls, emails... however you want. Birthdays, anniversaries, doctor's appointments, meetings, anything that you need to remember.
Let us help your customers. We can answer the phones for you or reply to your emails. We can forward important calls and emails to you and/or take detailed messages, screening out the distractions and busywork so that you can focus on growing your business. We can provide the same great customer service to your customers that we provide to you. Always professional, helpful, and friendly.
Build your online presence. Using social networking websites, we can establish a powerful internet presence and reputation for you or your business.
Website hosting. We can host your personal or business website or blog on our server. Just another free service available to our clients.
Always have the best movies. We can keep your Netflix or Blockbuster Online queue updated to include the movies that meet your criteria - genre, year, awards, actors, MPAA rating, Rotten Tomatoes rating, etc. You'll always have the movies you want ready to watch.
Vacation planning. Want to backpack Europe but haven't gotten around to finding local hostels in decent areas along your route? Want the cheapest plane ticket from New York to Australia fast? We can plan the perfect trip for you at the best price.
Design, write, and mail a promotion. Have a sale, keep in touch with old clients, and get repeat business. We have the inhouse capability to create and send a mailing to your customer list.
Discover your family tree. We can do geneaology research on your behalf. Learn all kinds of new and interesting things about your family's ancestry.
Get traffic to your website. We are experienced in pay-per-click search engines such as Google Adwords and Yahoo Search Marketing. We will do the keyword research and setup the campaigns while you watch the orders roll in.
Be held accountable. We can check in with you once a week (or even daily) to make sure that you are making progress on important business goals. We could all benefit from someone keeping us focused on what's important. Many clients say having us do this for them alone has dramatically boosted their productivity.
Use us to save you money. Have us clip coupons for the products you use and send them to you once a week. Have us do research on the best prices for any substantial purchase you are about to make. Have us keep an eye out for deals on a big ticket electronics item.
Get estimates from contractors and service shops. Does your car or home need a repair? Forward us the details and we will call all the contractors and auto shops in your area to get the best estimate, check references, etc.
Find out about anything. We can do in-depth research on any topic you need.
We will help you reach your goals. Want to lose weight? Quit smoking? Exercise regularly? We can remind you of your goals at any time you like. If you want, you can report your progress and we will make you a nice Excel graph so that you can track your progress. Very motivating.
Contact management. Turn a stack of business cards into a convenient, searchable digital contact database.
Captivating PowerPoint presentation creation. We have the artistic and design ability to create for you a professional looking PowerPoint presentation... all we need from you is the information.
Gift buying. Need gifts for your clients? Need an idea for your 12 year old niece? We will scour the internet looking for what's popular and present you with a list of perfect gifts and URLs where you can buy them. Or, we can buy them for you, wrap them, and mail them. It's up to you how much you want us to do.
Track your personal finances. We can keep your Quicken, Quickbooks, or Microsoft Money files up to date so you will always have a bird's eye view of your finances.
Holiday help. We can purchase, wrap, and mail presents. We can find local events for you to take your family to while they are in town. We can send out your holiday greetings. The holiday season is stressful enough, delegate some of the busy work so that you can enjoy this wonderful time of year.
Navigation. Find yourself lost or need directions to a certain location quickly? Give us a ring and give you turn-by-turn directions on how to get to where you are going. We'll stay on the phone with you till you get there.
Help with emergencies. When life throws you a curve, it's nice to have backup. For instance, if your car breaks down, call us and we'll locate a tow truck, a reliable auto shop, and a taxi service right where you are.
Have an offsite backup. We will store your backup cds, dvds, or hard drives in our safe. In the event of a disaster or drive failure, we will overnight you your backups.
Help organizing big events. Organizing weddings, parties, or any other meeting of people can be a huge task made up of hundreds of smaller tasks and tiny details. Let us do what we can to take some of the pressure off you and make sure your event is perfect. We can give you a list of photographers in your area available on a certain date, address and mail out your invitations, or call people for RSVPs.
And much, much more. We can do anything that doesn't require our physical presence. Other than that, the sky's the limit. You'd be surprised by how much we can take care of remotely.
And that's just the beginning. In addition to performing tasks for you, we also allow client's family members and other members of your business to assign tasks.
New clients often ask, "I see that your service could be very useful to me, but how should I use you guys?" Unfortunately, there is not a one-size-fits-all answer to this question. What we typically recommend is this simple three step process...
1. Decide what you ultimately want.
Identifying the exact end result you are hoping to achieve is the first step. Don't get caught up in the specifics though, stay very general. Do you want to feel less stressed? Do you want more free time? Do you want to get things done that are often procrastinated? Do you want to make progress on certain initiatives?
2. Make a list of tasks that will get you there.
If you want more free time, make a list of the most time-consuming tasks. If you want to stop procrastinating, make a list of tasks that you frequently put off. If you are feeling stressed, list what creates stress in your life.
3. Delegate it!
Get started by delegating what you can from the list you just made... this way you are sure to get the result you are hoping for. From there, get into the habit of delegating to us anything you don't need to do personally... you'll be amazed by how much your productivity is boosted.
