TESTIMONIALS

“When I tell people I engaged Sandra’s virtual / personal assistant services I add that “it is the best money I’ve ever spent on my business.” Sandra is the epitome of professional. She sees something that she could do to help me and she offers to do it. She communicates clearly and concisely. She helps in crisis situations (rescheduling my clients when I was very ill and again when I had a death in the family). She is detail-oriented and she helps me stay organized. She is creative and resourceful. She researches options to help streamline routine tasks. It doesn’t matter that she’s in Europe and I am in the United States. She communicates in a timely manner and responds with answers, completed tasks, or asks for more information. When there is a deadline, she meets it.

Entrepreneurs working from home or a small office on their own often feel like they can’t afford to spend money on VA services. If you fall into that category, if you think you shouldn’t pay someone to do something that you can do (like put your logo on a document and create letterhead and business cards or file your own email), then ask yourself what part of your business is suffering because you are slogging through admin tasks. Are you creating? Are you networking? Are you developing relationships? Are you meeting with clients? Are you planning next year’s growth or creating new offerings? Or, if you are doing that, which admin tasks are not getting done?

Engaging Sandra’s services freed me up to meet with more clients, streamline my onboarding process and worry less overall. I highly recommend you chat with her about how she might also be able to help you.”

“I engaged Sandra to help with some admin work that was getting on top of me while running a busy one-person consultancy. Sandra’s no-nonsense pragmatic style helped not only to work through the backlog, but to simplify my processes to help me keep organised. I recommend her highly.”

“Sandra is the most accomplished Executive Assistant I have worked with. Diligent and unflappable (in several languages), she always gave me the confidence that whatever was needed would happen. I would highly recommend her to anyone.”

“I needed help with reconciling expenditure – there were 1000s of receipts/invoices across 4 cards/bank transfers/cash payments, and every continent and as many currencies you can think of. I didn’t have the time or inclination to sort through a years’ worth of receipts and put them in chronological order so I asked Sandra for help. She is so organised, and managed to turn it all round in good time. I really appreciated her help! Thanks Sandra 🙂”

“I have known Sandra for over 11 years during which time she was the Executive Assistant/Office Manager for De Beers, a leading diamond company. Sandra’s organisation skills are second to none. Managing an office, organising Board meetings and arranging senior executive travel and their diaries was always done professionally, with due care and compassion. From a personal perspective Sandra assisted my family to relocate from South Africa to Luxembourg. Her personal service and attention to detail was outstanding and certainly made a very stressful event a lot easier on the entire family. There is no doubt that Sandra’s vast experience stands her in good stead with her new venture in providing VA support services. Her ability to speak several languages is also a great asset in a multinational business environment. I personally use Paperweight PA in my new consulting business and would strongly recommend Sandra and her team to anyone else. They are flexible, quick, well organised and provide great customer service. Sandra is an absolute pleasure to work with.”
