"Thank you - and please say thank you to Josh and your team for their help
over the past few months. They do excellent work, and your company offers
great value. I've told all sorts of people in my area about you in hopes that
they'll take advantage of your services, and I will continue to do so."
"I tried several other VA companies before finding Longer Days, and I'm so glad finally I did!
I never would have been able to pull off half the stuff I'm doing without your help. Thank you so
much for your efforts!"
"I wanted to drop you a quick note to tell you how very satisfied I am with your company. Every step in getting
an assistant set up has been quick, efficient, and has had very good communication each step of the way. ... I finally enjoy working with a remote assistant and do not worry about leaving my customer relations work in his hands. Thank you for providing a fantastic service! I plan to use my assistant to help my company grow and will let everyone I know about the wonder service I have gotten."
"As I mentioned earlier, I think this is a fantastic addition to your services, and I am pleased that we will be able to get to work on this long-delayed project with your talented and versatile team. I've been so impressed at how invaluable your company's services have become in such a short time that I am recommending your organization to all my colleagues."
"I've used several virtual assistant services, and the responsiveness of your team is unequaled. Please feel free to use this e-mail as a testimonial. As noted, I'll see if I can send you some new clients as well."
"YOU and Longer Days are premiere in performance and service."
"I wanted to share with you how impressed I am with your service... I have been hiring staff since 1998 and Brooke is the most intelligent and energetic person I have had the pleasure of working with. I have received wonderful feedback from all of my clients who have interacted with her and I continue to be amazed at her ability to get even the most challenging task done extremely well. Thank you for the superb job that you are doing!"
"I recommend LongerDays above the rest for their attention to detail, quality results, and for bringing a friendly face to a faceless service. Their free report on how to use virtual assistants had me hooked from the start, and their service feels far more personal and focussed than the alternatives I tested."

Our goal is to free up your time, increase your productivity, and reduce the amount of stress in your life. Most of our clients are small business owners who need some extra help getting things done and they will usually send a mixture of business and personal tasks.
We can help take care of those things that get neglected or procrastinated, those things that are absorbing 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 spend more time improving your business's bottom-line.
The ways that we can help do this are endless. Here is just a small, random sampling of the types of things we can do for you:
- Find leads. Just tell us what your target market is and we will do the research to gather new leads for your business. This is a highly recommended task as it is sure to make our service pay for itself.
- Free marketing analysis. We will go through our 20 point checklist and create a report for you on the weaknesses in your current marketing strategy and web presence.
- Business Process Outsourcing. If you have a repeating task in your business that can be documented or taught, this is a great way to free up a lot of your time. If you don't already have documentation, we can create it.
- Proofread documents. It's always amazing what another set of eyes can find.
- Graphic design. Our in-house graphic artist can design you a logo, a simple website (no programming required), or a beautiful brochure for your business. For professional quality graphic design, you won't find a better value.
- Create and manage an affiliate program. If you don't already have an affiliate program for your business, you are leaving a lot of money on the table. We can get your affiliate program set up and ready to go. We can also contact and recruit potential affiliates to promote your products.
- Email promotion. We can design and send an email blast to your list. You will have access to a control panel where you can track analytics in real-time. (Limit two mailings per month. $15 for each additional mailing. Limit 2,000 contacts.) Using us will save you money on monthly subscription fees to services like Constant Contact.
- 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.
- Create follow-up sequences. Capturing leads and then consistently following up with them is a major part of increasing sales. Thankfully, most of this can be automated but creating the follow-up material can be time-consuming. We have experience creating follow-up sequences and working with all major autoresponder services like Aweber and Infusionsoft.
- Track your personal or business finances. We are Intuit Quickbooks Certified. 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. Keeping the books is many business owner's least favorite activity - let us take that off your plate.
- 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.
- Add online chat to your website. We can answer your visitor's questions and help them with your ordering process. A great service to offer that increases the usefulness of your website and your conversion rate.
- Business blogging. We have excellent writers on staff capable of creating excellent content for your business's blog. We can write on any topic of your choosing and match your style if you prefer to post it under your name. We have experience with all major blogging platforms like Wordpress and Moveable Type.
- Travel 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 for a business trip? 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 in-house capability to create and send a mailing to your customer list.
- 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, vendors, 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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 coworkers to assign tasks.
We have experience with the following popular software packages, tools, and web services:
Infusionsoft Adobe Flash Aweber Google Webmaster Tools Wordpress Adobe Flash Constant Contact Freshbooks Highrise Adobe Dreamweaver Apple Keynote SalesForce Google Adwords Twitter | 1ShoppingCart Quickbooks Microsoft Excel Basecamp ActiveCollab Filemaker Pro Yahoo Search Marketing Joomla LinkedIn Google Analytics Facebook Microsoft Powerpoint Apple Pages ... and much more. |
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.
