The average person gets 1 interruption every 8 minutes, or approximately 7 an hour, or 50-60 per day. The average interruption takes 5 minutes, totaling about 4 hours - or 50% - of the average workday. 80% of those interruptions are typically rated as "little value" or "no value", creating approximately 3 hours of wasted time each day.

General administration is the most time-consuming task a business owner has on any given day. Taylor-Made Virtual Assistance offers the following general administrative support services:
Business Start-up: The myriad details required to start a business and become functional can be overwhelming when you're also trying to market your product/service and secure your first clients. My experience with Federal and State registration requirements, licensing and mandatory insurance, taxes and business fees, and other semmingly minor details can dissolve your stress over getting these things done.
Equipment and Utilities: Are you still trying to find all of the equipment (software, hardware, suppliers and vendors) and service providers, Internet provider, etc., etc.? Rest easy! I've done it all for several start-up businesses and have streamlined the process of getting these critical components in place.
Internet Presence: Getting yourself situated in the online community can be daunting to the uninitiated. There are so many hosting providers, SEO options and "new school" social networking opportunities out there. I will help you decide which online options are best for your specific needs and handle all of the administration for getting your online presence recognized. Please note: this is not a web-design task.
Operations: If you are like most solo and small business owners, you have all of your operational processes and strategies written on notepads and/or stored in your head. You probably believe that someday you'll have time to implement your policies/procedures for client management/retention, workflow, accounting, problem resolution, shipping, inventory control, etc. Or maybe you'll just "wing it". Putting these structures in place before you actually need them will do more for you r business in the long run.
Administrativia: Call screening, email follow-up, correspondence and reports, expense tracking and calendar management require daily attention. I offer easy, interactive solutions to all of this administrativia to keep you organized and responsive. |
