A definite referral for a Virtual Assistant

Although I do not personally endorse businesses nor do I advertise on other's behalf, I have to say that I am making an exception for one lady.

After posting an ad on Craigslist for help with a company that I work with, we were in need of someone to help us in an administrative sense.� Data Entry, Incoming Phones, etc...� Well, we were worried about not having the finances to hire someone to come into the office, thinking that was our only solution.... We were wrong!

After receiving an email in reference to the ad, she introduced herself as a Virtual Assistant and quite capable of handling the tasks needed, but from her home.� Although we needed someone to also help us with the phones, she provided an alternate solution versus having to have someone actually in the office.

So after much discussion and comparison in the amount of money we would actually be saving if this situation worked out, we gave her a chance.... It has now been a total of 2 weeks and things couldn't be going any smoother!

For the data entry part, well, we had hired someone on a temporary basis before putting the ad with the expectation that she would work for us right up to her ending date, that didn't happen, she just stopped coming in and our stuff was backing up big time despite our own attempts to keep it up to date... yeah, that didn't happen.� So when our VA started, despite that we had a lot of backed up work to get caught up on, she didn't charge us anything more, in fact she agreed to work a full weekend so that we could start out fresh that coming Monday.

We sent her a packet of pdf's with client information that needed to be entered into our database, mind you this was what she referred to as 'doc to data', there were over 500 individual pdf forms with client information...� We expected her to take all weekend, not!� By 3:00 pm on Saturday, after working on them a total of approximately 4.5 hours, she was done.� After sending her the residuals of what had come in on our side, we sent to her email in the same pdf format, approximately 75 additional, within 35 minutes she was done!

So I am personally endorsing this lady, awesome awesome awesome!� Not only does she specialize in Office Support and administration for bands and bars (marketing, websites, etc...), but she has over 20 years experience with the servicing side of the Mortgage Industry (our reason for hiring her).

If you would like more info, you can send her an email at virtualhelp4u@live.com, let her know that I sent you.� By the way, I do have permission to disclose her email address.� She does have a business website but would prefer email contact to start with.
