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…: After spending 20 years in the corporate world, in 2009 I decided to combine my exceptional administrative support and managerial skills with my dynamic spirit and enthusiasm to create a company offering online business management and virtual assistance.

My dedication and devotion to the companies I have worked for and the individuals running those companies has always earned me the compliment of “being an asset to the company” inspiring the naming of my company … The Virtual Asset, LLC.

In my transition to the online world, I have taken (and will continue to take) numerous specialized training programs to develop my online business management and virtual assistance skills. I have completed the following courses:

• Certified Online Business Manager (Tiny Forsyth and Andrea Lee)
• Internet Marketing Virtual Assistant Program (VA Classroom)
• Social Marketing Specialist Program (VA Classroom)
• Traffic Geyser (Online Video Marketing Platform) Certified VA Training (VA Classroom)
• Certified eCommerce (1Shopping Cart) Specialist (Hot Skills VA Training)

Why I love working as an OBM: I enjoy the details. I love that I am able to instinctively understand and implement all the necessary steps to complete projects. I thrive when challenged with a new situation or task. And, I am thrilled when a collaborative partnership has been formed, the trust has been established and the business owner can breathe and once again focus on revenue-generating activities.

Working as an OBM gives me the ability to clear the way for business owners to attain the success they originally set out to achieve and provide them with the support they need to remain on their intended course. I am very passionate about helping people grow and being an OBM allows me to do that.

My Strengths and Areas of Specialty: My human resource background and managerial roles throughout my corporate career allowed me to master the art of communication, customer service, and effectively work with a wide variety of personality types.

I have experience working with Infusionsoft and 1Shopping Cart.

Audio editing and audio product creation is a skill that I possess and enjoy. The use of video as a marketing tool excites me and I have completed Traffic Geyser training for Virtual Assistants. Video creation and editing services is an area that I intend to focus on in the near future.

Additionally, I have a solid foundation in Intellectual Property and Contract Law.

My favorite kind of client to work with is…: I love working with creative professionals, solopreneurs and small business owners who are passionate about their products and/or services.

Dynamic, forward-thinking individuals who have the vision, but need someone to implement their ideas and handle the details of their business so they can grow their passion.

My Business Goals for this year are…: With the majority of my training complete, I will concentrate my efforts on building my business. I would like to work for 2 clients in the OBM capacity and develop packaged services for product launches and audio and video editing/creation.

Items which grace the top of my business goal list are: creating a personal brand, developing brand recognition, finalizing my website, compiling and implementing a social media strategy and presence.
