Nine years of experience working in customer success, supporting clients in various industries - tech support, travel, dangerous goods manufacturing, schools, and PTAs. I'm currently an account manager handling existing clients involving spirit wear for schools. My role involves conducting demos, prospecting, sending quotes, upselling, and ensuring customer success.
You - an emerging business owner who wants to minimize overhead costs and get your product out in the most cost-effective way possible but also wants someone who can provide customer service to your clients, while ALSO being your virtual assistant
Me - your dream virtual assistant who is all of the above and more, possessing a sharp mind, eagerness to learn, and goes above and beyond
In this economy, you can't afford to hire one person to manage your product's logistics, then another person to handle your customer service, and then another to support your role as a company owner. Wouldn't it be great if you could find someone who could do all of these for you? Not only would it free up your time to focus on the bigger picture as a business owner, but it also cuts your overhead costs into half if you didn't have to pay 2-3 people to do several jobs when you have someone who can do all of these for the price of one.
Let me worry about the day-to-day operations of your company while you take a seat back and finally be the CEO that you want to be.
My most recent role was Operations and Finance Support for an Australian company which involved customer service and fulfillment. Prior to that, I was a senior sales consultant and team leader for Bayou Swamp Tours, Llc. I worked in the call center industry for 6 years specializing in customer service roles before I transitioned to freelancing where I have found my bread and butter in customer service, general virtual assistance, sales, and logistics.
