    Data entry

    The world is becoming increasingly reliant on digital technology. Record keeping, the need for consistent, accurate and reliable data entry has become apparent. If you have ever run a business from scratch, you know how time and energy consuming it can be. The last thing a business owner should be spending their time on is mundane tasks that do not contribute to the growth of the business. Why not outsource these tasks to your trusted virtual assistant who can probably do them faster than you can. Why not focus on growing your business?

    Email Management

    If you were to look at your inbox right now, how many unread emails would you see? If you’re like most people, it’s probably a number that would make you blush. Then it’s all about finding the emails you need RIGHT NOW. The email whirlwind has driven more than one business owner to the brink of madness, and what’s even more frustrating is that it’s all for naught. By hiring a talented Canadian-based virtual assistant to solve your email whirlwind, your mind can be freed up to focus on more important matters.

    Calendar management

    Have you ever been faced with a double-booked calendar? If so, you know how frustrating it can be from a client’s perspective to take time out of your day for an appointment only to find that your client isn’t there at the scheduled time. And it’s even worse if you had to travel to make that appointment, right? If scheduling appointments is a big part of your business, you can’t afford to risk those double-bookings and a lack of buffer time that could upset a prospect or client. Your remote worker can ensure that your calendar never gets crossed and that your prospects, clients, and customers stay happy.

    Sales and Marketing

    Every business needs to do marketing, period. Without marketing, no one can ever know how their world can benefit from working with your company. However, the marketing landscape continues to evolve at a pace that is hard to keep up with, which can easily eat up hours of your day. Let your Canadian-based Virtual Assistant (VA) take care of the tasks of keeping your business flowing with leads and sales while you take care of the operations that only you can do.
