I was having a hard time staying focused on the strategic things a business owner needs to spend her time on - sales and marketing, client care, service delivery. I was drowning in the day-to-day details of running my business! I was also the one and only direct point of contact for my clients, which means they could only get their questions answered when I was available. My stress levels have decreased SIGNIFICANTLY. I can be away from email and voice mail for hours and know that Vickie is keeping an eye on everything and giving clients the responsiveness they deserve. I am now refocusing all my efforts on the tasks that make sense for me to do personally, and delegating everything else. And our company's professional image has improved significantly - we are a real business now, not a one-person operation! Vickie is totally and utterly service oriented. I think this may be the first time in my life I have given myself the gift of working with someone whose primary goal is to look after me and take care of my needs - with grace, professionalism, and good humor. This is not only a breakthrough in my business; it's a breakthrough in my life. Andrea Howe President and Founder BossaNova Consulting Group	My biggest challenge was keeping up with the day to day administrative tasks that had to be done - but that always took a back seat to client servicing and new business development. Since a lot of the work involved dealing with high end consultants, I couldn't turn it over to just anyone to do. Since working with Vickie, I now have much more peace of mind and can be more efficient in staffing positions since all of the paperwork and consultant information is easily accessible and accurate. Also consultants have an easily accessible and senior level point of contact now. This has allowed me to spend more time and energy on clients and client development since I do not have to worry as much about the consultant side. An added value is that since I work alone, it is very helpful to have a sounding board for ideas and to look at and improve upon written documents that go out the door. Consistency is important in my business and not one of my strengths, so anyone who can add that will ultimately improve the business! Andrea Fuller Chief Executive Officer The Mind Farm
I was having struggles with keeping my head above water and keeping track of my projects. I have a growing business without good, disciplined documentation and it was hard to get all the necessary client work completed. Since working with Vickie and A Balanced Alternative, I have a new energy in getting all the moving pieces in place. There is now peace of mind for the future of tracking projects, completing existing work and obtaining and completing new work. I now have the realization that I'll be able to safely expand what our business accomplishes. An extra benefit I didn't expect is the whole idea of Vickie being excited about what we are building - that is great for me! Cary Paul Vice President Village Circle Company	Vickie is a business owner's dream. She is consistent, intelligent, trustworthy, and caring. She goes far beyond the duties of a VA and enables you to be a better business owner. Without fail she finds solutions; without fail she follows up; without fail she listens; without fail she cares for you far beyond your company. She has allowed me to focus on what I enjoy doing day to day and has accelerated my business growth by keeping me focused, eliminating organizational challenges, and uplifting me. If you can get on her wait list to be a client - sign up! She is worth the wait. Suzanne Evans Founder Blueprint Life Coaching
