OUR EXPERIENCE
Thank you for visiting Secretarial & Office Solutions LLC (SOS). Our objective is two-fold: to provide service to business owners to help them save time and money so they can focus on growing their businesses and be active members of their communities and also to provide job opportunities for the growing pool of displaced administrative assistants and secretaries due to technology.
I am the CEO of SOS. I have 30 years of experience working in an office setting, with different levels of executives. Each of the nine executives with whom I worked had their own idiosyncrasies and wanted their work projects completed in different ways. Some executives were detail oriented and wanted every single piece of paper to go by them. Others just wanted me to carry on the office tasks and only flag them down if I ran into a problem I could not handle, which freed them up to do what they did best.
The only difference between what I do now and what I did throughout those 30 years is merely the location in which the projects or jobs are completed. Today, I use my home office. Everyone at SOS is an independent contractor, which means significant savings for business owners because when you utilize the services of a Virtual Assistant, there is no need for you to pay unemployment taxes, health or other benefits, provide office space or even equipment.
In addition to the day-to-day administrative tasks, I’ve coordinated a wide variety of meetings, events and multi-day conferences to include locating the resort where the conferences and meetings would be held; created the mailing lists to send to potential registrants (had to target the correct market), invited potential speakers and coordinated their complex travel (so they could combine several meetings into one trip) and printed their boarding passes; did typesetting for full color multi-page brochures and also simple 2-color brochures; worked with the conference center staff members regarding rooming lists and room blocks; tracked registrations; maintained the budgets; worked with audiovisual personnel to synchronize presentations so the meetings went smoothly; arranged for ground transportation for foreign visitors so they could attend the meetings and also go out on “field trips” to learn more about what their US counterparts did; and I attended the meetings to handle the registration desks. I processed the paperwork to expedite receipt of passports and visas for the executives whom I supported so they could go to a variety of countries; arranged for complex ground transportation in the various countries where the executives went so they could fit in visiting places like the Taj Mahal in addition to their meetings; worked with catering from the various resorts to ensure all meetings went off with no problems.
Now, I’d like to put my experience to work for you. SOS offers all new Clients a Complimentary Consultation during which we will provide examples of our work and will answer all of your questions. If after the consultation, you agree that we can save you time and money, you can hire us on one of two levels: you can use our hourly rate until you have the confidence that this will be a win/win situation, or select one of our retainer rates, which offer even lower rates.
