Why hire a personal assistant?
It’s 8:30 a.m. on a Monday. You’re staring at your calendar for the week and already you can feel the stress building up: board meetings, department meetings, emails and phone calls to return, hair cut appointment to be made, soccer practice to attend, new hard drive to research. How will you get through it?
Hire a personal assistant. Too costly, you say. Well, not any more. Thanks to the Internet and advances in technology and telephony, gone are the days when having a personal assistant is the domain of wealthy entrepreneurs or CEOs. Remote personal assistants can perform any tasks that do not require face-to-face interaction. Prialto’s remote assistants or time managers have been helping our members with a myriad of services ranging from restaurant reservations, event planning, research on a new computer, and recurring reminders, tracking down a specific style of antique desk on Craigslist, research on financial sponsors, etc.
Mary-Katherine Brooks is one of an increasing number of people turning to remote assistant services. She was organizing a conference and needed sponsors. This was going to be a time-consuming task that would impact her already hectic schedule. So she turned to Prialto, where she was assigned a primary time manager named Ana, who helps manage her schedule among many other things. After a couple of weeks of getting to know each other, Mary-Katherine asked Ana to do research on potential financial donors for the Wharton Finance Conference. The result was a list of 900 potential sponsors, a database that Mary-Katherine and her school could use for other conferences as well. Not only was the list substantial and informative, it also saved Mary-Katherine hours from doing research.
Another convert to remote personal outsourcing is Chris Post. Chris is a contractor who used to spend his days at construction sites, and his evenings in front of the computer doing administrative work. He decided to hire a Prialto time manager to manage his calls, schedule and follow up on sub-contractors, and respond to emails. Now, he is able to go home and play with his kids before reading them bedtime stories. Evenings spent with his family have finally become a reality for Chris.
In a world where there is increasing demand for one’s time and attention, the need to balance work and life is a constant struggle. Hiring a Prialto time manager is a solution to help you get your life back.
