Benefits

One of the great things about working with others is the opportunity to discuss the business at hand – to brainstorm ideas. When you are a solo professional, you often need another viewpoint from someone that knows your business. That is just one of the many advantages of working in a collaborative relationship with an Administrative Professional. I get to know you and your business and how it is run. We can discuss ideas and I can offer another perspective, but always with your business in mind. Remember; when you succeed, I succeed. 

Fee Structure

I choose to work with a few select clients who pay a monthly retainer. Retainer packages are based on the value I provide and is individualized based on each client's needs. However, the minimum amount of time I work with any one client is 10 hours per month. Anything less does not allow me to provide a truly meaningful level of value and support.

How it all Works

You may be wondering how I can be of assistance without being in your office, or at least in the same town. The technology to work at a distance has been around for a number of years and much of it is very user-friendly. And because there are so many options, together we will find the ones that work best. Most of the time, however, it only requires emailing each other – it really is that simple! 

Getting Started

In our consultation we will determine if we are a well suited to work together. This can be the make or break thing in any relationship. We will discuss what seems to be eating away at your time. I will want to learn a bit about your business model and what you hope we can achieve together. And finally I will want to know a little bit about you personally. I will also answer questions about myself and how I work to make your life easier. 

Once we start working together we will conduct a work study.  Don’t worry, it’s painless!  It will help me to learn your business quickly and ascertain how I can be of the greatest service to you.  The first 3 months are usually the adjustment period, where I get to know the specifics of your business and you learn to let go of the tasks that are eating away at your time.

Cheryl Harless is one of the most able-minded, capable administrative professionals I’ve had the pleasure to work with. I chose Cheryl to assist me recently on some projects related to the organization I run and she didn’t disappoint. Her work was excellent. She was diligent in her follow-through, resourceful and I was very impressed with her ability to ramp up on the collaboration tools I use without any instruction from me. Cheryl is a creative thinker and problem-solver, and easily grasps complex concepts. I didn’t have to pull teeth to get her to think; it just comes naturally with her! She is a wonderful collaborative partner who brings a generous spirit and great sense of humor to the table as well.

Cheryl has always been an asset in our collaboration. She worked diligently from home to make my business a success. We would not have done nearly as well without her diligence, attention to detail and general assistance… Cheryl was my right arm and also my good friend.

Sandy was my best friend and the one who suggested I become a Virtual Assistant - since I did it so well with her. She's no longer with us, but I will be forever indebted to her for putting my feet on this path and for being my best friend.

Rest in peace Sandy!
