ABOUT ME
No nonsense, straight talking, and sometimes even a bit direct!
These are all things that have been said about me - and I have to say, I think they’re true. I’m not exactly “fluffy” and I rarely dress things up, but if we’re honest, you don’t want that in a VA anyway, do you?
Take Up The Slack started out of a need to be in control of my own future. Having been made redundant for the second time in 5 years, I was done with being promised a magic carpet ride and instead getting the rug pulled out from underneath me.
I work with a range of wonderfully diverse clients, as a VA to save them time, to let them focus on other areas of their businesses, and to allow them the freedom to do more of what they love.
Although I am based in Leyland, in the North West, I work with businesses throughout the UK.
If you’re a business owner in need of that freedom, here are some of the things I can do for you;
- Checking, responding to, and filing emails
- Arranging meetings, calendar shuffling, and sending those all-important reminders
- Data entry and checking
- Client and supplier communication
- Client onboarding
- Organising your cloud-based files, folders, and documents, so you can always find them when you need them
- Proofreading, standardising, and branding up your documents.
What you won’t get is a “yes woman”.
If I think we could do things differently I’ll always suggest it. But, if you don’t personally enjoy challenges toward “but we’ve always done it like that”, I’m probably not the VA for you.
So, if you’re feeling aggrieved with your admin, exasperated with your emails, or patchy with your productivity and you want to change all that, let’s grab 15 minutes over a video call to look into the many ways I can improve your predicament, support you with your challenges, and get your business running as smoothly as possible.
Before working with Lisa, I was struggling to see the wood for the trees. I had a backlog of emails with a lot of spam and newsletters mixed in, making it impossible to see what needed action at a glance.
Since she has taken over managing my inbox life is much simpler. There are now only a few daily emails for me to deal with, allowing me to get on with client work. It’s been the same with my cloud storage files, they are all now in one place and ordered so I can find the documents I need when I need them. There is so much value Lisa adds to my business behind the scenes, everyone needs someone in their corner and I’m really glad she’s in mine.
