Kate Allen,founder of Simply Seven, knew Lucy Eyley as a client before she became her Virtual Assistant. Seeing Lucy run her own business made the decision easy: "She's inspiring. She's determined, she's hard-working and always one step ahead. If she's like that in her own business, then I want a piece of that within my business."
Lucy now handles bookkeeping for client accounts, client onboarding, social media design, newsletters and Simply Seven's Google Business Profile. After working with Kate on a website structure and FAQs, she went on to write content for thesite and social channels. "I give her the bare minimum and she just gets it done." "Lucy sends a list of what she's done and says, 'all I need from you is XYZ.' Very little direction is required. She just 'gets it' and gets on with it."
By creating processes and taking ownership of key operations, Lucy has freed Kate to focus on higher-value work.
"She saves me time. She makes me money."
It goes beyond the practical: "She forces ME to be a better person and business owner. And she makes me feel valued as a client because she genuinely loves working with me and the things I ask her to do."
Don't start with the tasks you think you need help with. Start the conversation. "If you're struggling with time, just have a discovery call with Lucy because once she's on board, she'll make your life easier and you'll never look back!"
"Put simply, she makes me look good."
