My Experience, I am a: Certified OBM

My Client Intake status is: Open - I am looking to work with new clients

I’ve been working online since: I transitioned from nearly 30 years in the traditional office space to working online in February 2008.

Whether you need help with a one-time special project, ongoing monthly services or extra staff support during your busiest months, we offer affordable and flexible solutions for your business needs.

Why I love working as an OBM: I enjoy the role of an online business manager because I have always been motivated and excited by the challenges and rewards of partnering with business managers and owners at a higher support level. While working in the traditional office space for nearly 30 years, I really liked being on the front line and playing a bigger role in the success of executives individually and for the company as a whole. Now, as a business owner in the virtual office space, I truly enjoy transferring those brick and mortar administrative and business skills to online businesses so that they can grow and prosper.

My Strengths and Areas of Specialty: My strengths are my ability to learn new skills quickly and create automated processes which result in cost and time savings. I am highly organized and my focus is on bringing exceptional products and services to my clients. My favorite tasks are working closely with business owners to create strategies and manage resources that support their vision of growing their business.

My favorite kind of client to work with is…: My favorite client is focused and has a clear vision of what is needed to grow his/her business. I appreciate someone who manages pressure well, readily delegates tasks and responsibilities, is fair-minded, and is open to recommendations and suggestions.

My Business Goals for this year are: My business goals for this year will be to continue to grow my skills and experience in Online Business Management. This past year was focused on obtaining valuable online training and experience needed to provide the best possible skills to my clients. Since February 2008, I completed the FastTrac Entrepreneur Program, Virtual Assistant Internet Marketing Assistance Training, Master Shopping Cart Strategy and Set up, and last but not least, the Online Business Management Certification Course. I will focus my time and energies on aligning my skills to match the real business needs of online business owners. This will attract those business owners who have reached the point where they recognize their need for support by an OBM in order to grow their business to the next level.

Another business goal will be to build and grow my virtual assistant team which will continue to provide both virtual assistant and internet marketing assistant services.
