Services
I offer a very flexible working agreement. I charge an hourly rate (or a rate per job if more appropriate), with one hour as the minimum. So you could have 1 hour if that is all you need. But once you see the freedom that delegating some of your admin brings you ... you might want more! The logic of giving you more time to concentrate on your expertise is very clear. You are freed up to do what you do best.
Administration/PA duties
You might be a surveyor or a tree surgeon who needs to collate reports to send to your customers. Working together we can create a smooth process so that I can prepare the reports for you to check, and then send them out. Or a lawyer or surgeon who needs to write letters to your clients. Working from dictation or notes I can prepare these for you.
There are all sorts of other word processing tasks I can help you with, for instance, preparing your presentations (if you're not very confident in Powerpoint), updating text on your website or preparing forms for your customers.
I can help too, with collating information and research projects. Perhaps you need to know about the competition in your area, or as a growing business, whether there is any suitable local office space for you.
Event Management
As a very experienced event mananger, I can help you with all aspects of events. You may need to get a few people together for a meeting, but don't know of the most suitable venues in the area. I can research these and give you details of location, prices, availability. You may not have the time to be liaising with hotels about what you need at your meeting (screens, lunch, guest speakers etc), so let me do it. I can even join you on the day to ensure it all runs smoothly.
There are so many different types of events and I can help with them all. A Christmas party for your customers? A stand at a trade show? A team building day for a group of remote colleagues to get to know each other better? Let me help you!
Finance/Credit Control
You may find it hard to find the time to send out your invoices, and this affects your cashflow. If I could send out your invoices for you, your customer receives them more quickly. Hopefully they pay in a timely manner, but if not I can call them (on a daily basis if necessary!) and remind them that it is due. This way you receive payment quicker. This is invaluable for the smooth running of your business.
Social Media
Perhaps you would like (or feel you ought) to have a presence on social media, but you aren't confident on what to do. I can help you set up a page/profile for you to have that invaluable source of business. Once that is set up, you may not have time, or may struggle to work out what you should post on the various social media outlets. With close discussion with you, I can set up a programme of posts that I can do for you, and feedback the reach you are having, or ideas on how to improve the number of people liking your page.
