Need to magic up some growth? Here's how...

Hi!

Welcome to the first in a series of quarterly newsletters sent to you by Keely Taylor Secretarial Services - KTSS for short. Receiving it means either you’re an established client of KTSS, or you’re one of many people with whom I, Keely Taylor, have networked or exchanged business cards.

It also, of course, means you run a business, and running a business means administration.

Now, not many business people tell me they enjoy administration; mostly they’d sooner chew bricks.

Which is good for me because, as a Virtual PA, I’m not only rather good at admin, I actually like it!

‘Whoa!’ I hear you cry, ‘I’m a slim, trim, no frills concern and frills don’t come any frillier than PAs!’

But I didn’t say PA, I said Virtual PA. Thanks to IT, I’m probably not even there in your slim, trim office. I’m sorting your phone calls or your book-keeping or your project management elsewhere. You don’t even employ me, so I’m neither full-time nor part-time. But, no, I’m not really magic; I come very close though...

Here’s some of my fairy-dust. Before he discovered me, a client actually did employ an assistant for four months. The outcome? Disaster! On consulting KTSS, he was unsurprised to discover that I wouldn’t settle for the assistant’s National Minimum Wage, but delighted to find that, with no NI or tax to pay, he would still end up in pocket! So, magically, more really can be less, especially as I don’t charge VAT!

I’m stressing the value of my services to smaller businesses, and in fact my optimum target is the one or two person company. Such organisations typically understand their objectives exactly, but have limited time to achieve them; that’s where I come in.

Nonetheless, a later newsletter will explain how I can benefit larger organisations. I can, for instance, take minutes at tribunals, where I’m paid strictly for work done while being also clearly impartial.

But whatever the size of your organisation, I aim to help you grow by helping you de-clutter. I tidy the things that get under your feet and let you focus on growing your business. In fact, the best thing a client can tell me is ‘Keely, we’ve grown so much with your help that now we need to employ someone!’
