What can a Virtual Assistant help with?

🖊️ All the above and more… the little graphic shows our core services but, with over 25 years experience in not only admin but, business development, growth, and management - I can be your brainstorming buddy and a valuable second opinion through times of change in your business

💁‍♀️ Having a VA means all the day to day time consuming tasks can be taken care of for you, while you focus your energy on the things you do best and the things you love most about your business

🐝 At the moment I have diary space for around 2 to 5 hours per week, this can be a regular slot or a one off project.

This 👇

A really easy habit to get into, especially when you run an independent business.

🙋‍♀️ I hear you, I’ve been there too!
You don’t want to lose a customer or a sale, so you reply to every message literally as soon as you can, be that evenings, weekends, by the pool, out on a walk etc etc

❌ But, for the sake of sanity and actually giving your brain a rest - don’t do it!!

If the customer is destined to be a good one, you won’t lose them by messaging or emailing them back during work hours.

👎🏼 And if you do, because they’re that impatient then they really won’t be the type of customer that you need in your life!

If this sounds like you, and you feel like there’s not enough hours in the week for your workload then a VA like me is what you need!

A little bit of my history… 💁‍♀️

As someone who worked in a fashion retail Head Office environment for the majority of my career in Sussex - when I then ran my own shop, I found it incredibly difficult to find a VA who specialised in helping retail businesses.

❓Because knowing the ‘why’ helps even day to day tasks be done to the level of accuracy that you need as a business.

💭 With over 20 years of experience in retail buying and merchandising from a tiny start up business to a multi store UK high street retailer - having a specialised VA by your side might just be the game changer you need for your business!

Why use a Virtual Assistant?

1. To help you find a good work/life balance - by outsourcing some of your day to day tasks, you’ll free up valuable time.

2. It’ll cost you less - a virtual assistant is a flexible service, you only pay for the hours you need. So no holiday, sick pay, pension or paid breaks to cover.

3. A VA can improve the efficiency of your business - as an impartial source of help and guidance, a good virtual assistant will help you streamline things in your business to improve productivity.

4. Sole business owners - you won’t feel alone! Or like you have to make all the decisions yourself. As someone who’s been in this situation, I hear you!

5. A VA can ease the burden - in so many ways, which in turn should help you feel calmer, happier and more in control of your business

Food for thought… 💭

Because noones ever won any medals for spinning all the plates, and constantly being busy.

🟢 Outsourcing some of your everyday tasks to a VA means more time for you to do what you need, whether that be self care or spending a bit more time phone free and with your people

The face behind the business and a little who and why!

👋🏼 Hi there, I’m Melanie and MD Virtual Assistant is my new venture!

That’s me there celebrating my birthday earlier this year!

I’ve had a bit of a rollercoaster ride over the last couple of years health wise, which resulted in a bowel cancer diagnosis and treatment.
That really made me evaluate what was important to me and what I really wanted to do.

I’ve always been a people person and love helping people find solutions, so with MD VA I’ll be helping people streamline their business and find a better work/life balance.

🦚 What makes MD VA different to any other VA business…?
As well as having over 25 years admin and secretarial experience across a variety of industries, I also have experience in business start up, development, growth and management - meaning I can help with a whole range of day to day stuff as well as additional support and ideas!

✉️ If you’d like to find out more about how I can help you, I’ll be offering introductory hourly rates while I build my client portfolio so pop me a DM or an email.

I look forward to hearing from you!

Melanie.
