What You Can Expect From Me

I understand that as an entrepreneur or small business owner, your key to success is providing quality customer service. This, along with the expectations of efficient time management, effective partnerships, a quality lifestyle and fair compensation, are the basis for which you have elected your chosen path. Sacrificing any of these five basics is out of the question. By partnering with my clients, I am able to learn their business and provide the support required to help them effectively grow their business and create more free time.

Caring about my clients, providing value to my service and caring about the overall results ranks high with me. I am committed to providing my clients with the excellent quality and dedicated service they deserve based on high principled standards.

Following is what some of my clients have to say:

"Pat Zickefoose is an extraordinary virtual assistant who is able to anticipate my business needs before they occur. She identifies potential issues and diffuses them before problems occur. She is wonderful at organizational tasks, internet and software programs, creating databases, developing newsletters and mailings and has even begun to write in "my voice". My clients and associates enjoy communicating with her and the level of service she offers them.

I am delighted to be working with Pat and highly recommend her services. She is an integral part in the success of my companies."

"I am so fortunate to have the opportunity to work with Pat. She is highly competent and creative. She's assisted me in handling communications, database management, scheduling, writing and many other administrative details. Many times, I've called on her to assist with a project and she was there. I told her of the outcome I wanted and she handled the rest. I didn't need to give her step-by-step instructions or worry about the quality of her work. She's always been someone I can depend on . . . a blessing and an asset to my business."

"Pat is my virtual assistant and a great asset to my work as a financial planner. What I do best is to spend time meeting face-to-face with my clients in order to help them define and achieve their financial goals. Paperwork and administration steal time I could be using to meet with and assist my clients. I hired Pat to do some of my administration so that I could spend more of my time helping my clients with their financial planning.

In general, Pat helps me by saving me time and allowing me to delegate tasks which I am either no good at or - equally important - not inclined to do. Specifically, she does my correspondence, transcribes my client notes, assists me in staying in contact with my clients via birthday cards and note cards and occasionally schedules appointments on my behalf. There isn't a week that goes by when I don't think of another way that Pat can help me. Right now I am considering having her prepare, mail and maintain a database for a semi-annual letter addressed to some or all of my clients.

Despite her obvious abilities, I do not recommend Pat only because of her specific skills. I recommend her because she is competent and effective. When I delegate something to Pat, I rely upon her to do it and do it right. I have never had a reason to be disappointed."
