As a virtual assistant, I’ve had the pleasure of working with some incredible business owners. I’ve enjoyed providing a service to their businesses and helping them continue on the path to success. Here are some examples of what they had to say about working with me. I thank them so much for sharing their positive experiences! Testimonials are added in the order that they are received.

Our Work Together:

  • Project —> Bewitching Email Marketing Set Up:

    • Fixing Flodesk workflow errors

    • Shortening workflows with 20+ emails to 7 emails each

    • Creating new workflows for preparing for a discovery call, welcome, and bridal show

    • Tutorial on the intricacies of Flodesk such as segmenting and more

What Sarah Says:

“It was amazing to hand off the project and forget about it! What would have nagged me for months, I passed along and promptly checked it off my list. You freed up a ton of my mental load!

Kathleen knew right away what my issue was and even found other problems in my email funnel that I wasn't aware of. She took the time (that would have taken me 5x as long, if I even figured it out) to put fixes in place and get everything up and running beyond what we had originally discussed.

For me, it was easy peasy lemon squeezy! Seriously though, I was panicked by my emails not being delivered and beyond frustrated. Being able to hand this over after a short zoom meeting and have it delivered back to me a month later was such a relief and worth every penny!”

 

Vanessa Smith - Refy Agency

Our Work Together:

  • Manychat automation setup for her workshop.

  • Attendees commented a word on her post and they got sent in a DM with the download.

  • After that, Manychat tracked who had gone through the automation on a Google Sheet.

What Vanessa Says:

“Kathleen took care of everything! I filled out my questionnaire and she handled the rest. Kathleen clearly knows her stuff. She got me set up with my ManyChat in no time! Not only did she take care of everything, she taught me along the way so I understood just how much this could benefit my business. Words to describe her are quick, easy, and professional”.

Our Work Together:

  • Full CRM setup for solo entrepreneurs

  • Zapier setup

What Aniya Says:

“Kathleen is PERFECT for the job! We had our initial call, and she got what I needed instantaneously. She was so calm and no pressure for ANYTHING. We did our work together before the holidays, so I thought that may have slowed things down a bit, but nope! She was steadfast and we got everything wrapped up so quickly!”

My favourite part of the VA services was: “Seeing all the test emails come in!! Can I add another one? Going over how everything works. I loved that final call. It was like everything coming together.”

“Kathleen kept on top of things as I was really not in a place of clarity during our time working together and needed the nudges and support. I appreciate you keeping on top of me!

She could see the gaps and opportunities in my process which is what I was needing.

Kathleen knowns her way around systems and Flodesk. If you need a hand setting things up or making things work more efficiently she can help you see where your blind spots are and help you fine tune things so that you can focus on what you love doing best! I highly recommend Kathleen to any overwhelmed entrepreneur - or heck get to her BEFORE the overwhelm even sets in! Thank you Kathleen for helping me out, especially during a particularly hard time not in business but in life - which impacts my business deeply.”

Our Work Together:

  • Virtual event tech support (Rise & Monetize Creators Summit)

  • Email marketing workflow set up

What Christine says:

“I am very grateful for her support in bringing the Rise & Monetize Creators Summit to life. Just some of her VA superpowers include: remaining calm even when you’re having a quiet meltdown about tech, decoding vague online instructions, and being very patient when you are figuring it all out on the fly.

Kathleen was so helpful to me before the Summit by creating email workflows. During the summit she had those all tickety boo and then also she helped with the tech. I would like to never have to deal with tech, it's a nightmare. So she just helped me sort through it all and get comfortable with it.”
