How many hours we gave back to clients in 2024.
case studies–is this you?
Since 2011, almost all of our clients have shared the same issues before joining us at JMJ—EA for a Day. They were frustrated, stressed, time-poor, and overworked. They had tried multitasking and working long hours only to discover they were spending over 10 hours a week doing the work they could have been outsourcing. They became so busy doing that they neglected their customers and clients.
Below is a sample of what brought some of our clients to us. Anything look familiar?
Client 1
The phone rang, and a client shared my mobile with a struggling business owner.
Often, businesses try to fit a square peg into a round hole. They do this because they don’t realise there is a far better way to do things.
In this instance, the couple struggled with business administration. While they knew basic administration, trying to connect all the pieces of their business didn’t work, leading to considerable overwhelm and distress.
By the end of the call, the client was breathing deeply and safe in the knowledge that, in that 30-minute conversation, they had found JMJ, who not only empathised with them but also offered multiple solutions to help them connect the dots—in this case, the processes, systems and tech to make their business administration run smoother and give them back the many hours they were spending trying to make it all work.
Client 2
This time, someone reached out to me on LinkedIn. They had been watching and reading my posts for some time and felt that JMJ had what they needed to help them review their systems and processes. Within the first three weeks of working together, the client asked me about the top ten things I’ve seen in their business that would benefit from change.
I provided them with a list within a few hours, and they immediately implemented the first two items. Then, the JMJ team created the workflows and systems based on the business requirements and the required outcomes to complete the other items.
Our client was well equipped with many systems already in place but was too close to their business to see the areas that would benefit from a review.
Client 3
Again, another referral.
This client sought help with their social media, blogs and newsletters. They already had many bits and pieces in place but struggled with finding the VA who got them, listened to them, and understood them.
They were limited with the time they could spend working in their business because they were constantly face to face with clients and then to find time to do all the admin at the end of the day was causing significant stress.
After our initial discussion, we onboarded the new client and quickly understood who they are, their brand voice, and how they wanted to position themselves with their clients and target market.
The client soon gave us full autonomy in designing and creating their social media images, reels, blog layouts, newsletters, analytics reporting, and scheduling.
Virtual Assistant Services
When you work with JMJ, you work with a remote subcontracting team that provides administrative support for small business owners, sole traders, business coaches and public speakers.
Our complete done-for-you business admin services can encompass the full end-to-end of business operations. Take a look at some of the daily areas we can cover for our clients.
If you’re still not convinced that you are not the best person to work in your business, ask yourself, ‘What is the cost to me, my family, and my business if I choose not to get help now?
Perhaps you’ve tried working with a Virtual Assistant Service previously, which wasn’t the best experience, or you are working with someone now. Still, it isn’t the experience you want or need now, and it certainly isn’t giving you the results you expect from this type of collaboration.
Whatever the reason you are not getting help, we can guarantee that your business will not improve. You won’t see any growth or improvement to the bottom line because you’re spending way too many hours each week doing what you shouldn’t be doing. We all have 24/7 hours in a day, no more and no less. It’s what we decide and how we prioritise the time that will benefit us most.
When is it time to work with a Virtual Assistant?
My clients all shared the same issues before coming to us at JMJ – EA for a Day. They were frustrated, stressed, time-poor and overworked. They had been trying to be that multitasking one-person band they thought they had to be. They were not spending enough time with their clients.
When you choose JMJ – EA for a Day to work with – you don’t need to worry about training us, we’ve been doing this for years. Over 35+ years of experience and Jacqui personally has over 65,000 hours of business administration experience and you only need 10,000 hours to be considered an SME.
You’re now too busy to do the detail and level of admin that you have been doing. Or worse still, if you are using a Virtual Assistant and they are underperforming, stop throwing money down the drain. You pay for what you get.
