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!"

Use our virtual assistance service to move your business forward, make more money, and enjoy more free time than ever. |
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,
projects that are beyond your capability,
those things that are absorbing your time,
and anything that you don't have to be doing yourself.
By delegating these things to our virtual assistants, you can focus on the truly important, high-leverage activities within your business that need your attention. The end result being that your business moves forward, faster and easier.
The specific ways that our virtual assistance service can help you are nearly endless. Here is just a small, random sampling of the some 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 and 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 for you as you train us.
- Proofread documents. It's always amazing what another set of eyes can find. Our staff of virtual assistants can review and correct important emails, blog posts, articles, whitepapers, etc.
- Graphic design. Our inhouse graphic designers can design logos, websites, blogs, or a beautiful brochure for your business. For professional quality graphic design, you won't find a better value (this is included in our monthly plans, at our normal rate.)
- Create and manage an affiliate program. If you don't already have an affiliate program for your online business, you are probably 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 campaign 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.
- Create a database. Chances are, your business would benefit from a database of some sort. We have can use Filemaker Pro to create a fully customizable database that meets your needs.
- Get reminders. We can send you reminders via text messages, phone calls, emails... however you want. Birthdays, anniversaries, appointments, meetings, anything that you need to remember.
- Let us help your customers. Our virtual assistants 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.

- Get traffic to your website. We are experienced in pay-per-click search engines such as Google Adwords and Yahoo Search Marketing. Our trained virtual assistants 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.
- Get estimates from contractors, vendors, and service shops. By taking over the legwork of comparison shopping and gathering price quotes, our virtual assistant service can pay for itself in money saved.

- Captivating PowerPoint presentation creation. We have the artistic and design ability to create for you a professional looking PowerPoint presentation.
- 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.
- 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, our virtual assistants can 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.
- 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 and support. 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.
How you can leverage our virtual assistant service is limited more by the imagination than anything else.
By working with us, you have access to the skills, talents, and resources of our entire company. Think of our virtual assistance service as having access to a virtual "super employee" capable of performing virtually any task or project you may need help with.
Our virtual assistants 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 virtual assistant service could be very useful to me, but what should I delegate?" 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 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.
