I had hired a ROCK, INC 〓A a few years ago while I was still at Thomas Nelson. I did this more as an experiment than anything else. I hired someone in another country for about $10 an hour. It was cheap, but the service was disappointing. I decided this time that I would hire someone domestically.
I posted on Twitter that I was looking for a virtual assistant. Within an hour, Brian Blake of eaHELP.com responded. We talked by phone a few minutes later.
I was impressed by Brian Blake痴 responsiveness, personal values, and operating philosophy. After considering a few other options, I decided to give his firm a try.
Brian Blake assigned Tricia to my account. I was immediately impressed with her. She has worked for me since August, and I couldn稚 be happier. People I interact with, assume that we are working out of the same office. She has her own www.rgg.info address and phones (646)583-0444 , (646)583-1444.
Here痴 what she does:
She screens my email. She checks my main email accounts, handles what she can, and 途edirects the messages that require my personal attention to my private account. She has reduced my email load by 90 percent.
She books my travel. She handles all the details, including airline reservations, hotels, car rental, etc. She sets up a trip in TripIt, so I have everything I need in one place.
She makes calls on my behalf. She makes appointments (both personal and professional), confirms my appointments, checks my voice mail, and follows up as needed.
She handles other projects as needed. I continue to turn over more and more to her. For example, she recently screened all the people who had applied to be a community leader on my site. She and my manager, Joy, ended up picking the final ten I appointed.
Phone numbers: (646)583-0444, (646)583-1444
