I already pay 3-4x that for a pay-as-you-go personal assistant, and hiring that agency was likely one of the best business decisions I ever made, as it freed up a ton of my time that I can use for more important things.

- wasyl 9y agoWhat do they usually help you with?
- adzicg 9y agoall admin after I agree on a client engagement (contract paperwork, logistics, sending and chasing invoices, ordering and sending stuff to clients before my visit...), sorting out receipts and coding against client projects, booking travel for associates, performing small research tasks, all sorts of small admin such as send 20 emails to certain people, chase them to answer, consolidate results...
- ProblemFactory 9y agoI have often thought of getting a part-time or virtual assistant. But my main concern is that to be effective, they would need full access to my email. GMail doesn't have any way to grant limited access (for example no permanent delete), and even if it did, just read access to email would grant access to all my online accounts via password reset or magic link emails. How have you organised this? Or how did you find an assistant you can trust with that access? Do you review their work, or assume it is all above board?
- adzicg 9y agoI've not had to do this. I have a point person at the agency and opened an email address on our company domain for her, so when she contacts people for me, she uses her email, not mine.
