VIRTUAL ASSISTANT PRAISE
“Since Jaimie started coaching me I’ve improved my business processes, connected many missing pieces, and have become more organized. As a result, I’m working much smarter and operating at more of a professional level. She is willing to provide valuable advice and offer helpful solutions. If you are serious about your virtual assisting business, Jaimie is an invaluable resource!”
“Jaimie truly took my VA business from good to great. Since she started coaching me I’ve added three new clients, increased my rates, and have brought more people onto my team. She helped me improve my systems, become more professional, and work smarter instead of harder. She is generous with her time, resources, and knowledge. I can’t recommend Jaimie enough to anyone who wants to upscale their virtual assisting business.”
“Jaimie is one of the most organized people I have ever met. She has a keen sense of knowing what next steps to take and what strategic steps are needed to get there. Jaimie is such a supportive force and I always know she has my back. I am so grateful to have her to count on when I need her help and support. I can’t recommend her enough. Simply stated, she just gets it.”
“Integrity and trust are among the most valued traits in developing a long-lasting relationship.” It is so refreshing to read [your articles]. I l’ve how transparent you are and how genuine. You’re a breath of fresh air, Jaimie Skultety.
“You saved me so much time in helping me get clear on my goals.”
“I took into consideration all you taught me and am using your Pricing Packaging and Productivity Reports model in my Business. I have new VA Clients now, regular and Project with more coming! So much work that I hired an Assistant here in Philly! And I have an Office in a suburb of Philly to meet with local Clients besides my home/office! And I was named by Phila. Business Journal again, as a top Woman/Minority-owned Business for 2018! And one of my Clients, who’s a Media Production expert gave me 2 Business Shows in Sept. & October! Just wanted to update You on my Business achievements since we chatted this summer. It’s because of what you taught me that I’m so successful and I wanted to say, “Thank You!” P.S. today I am typing up another Agreement as I just got another VA Client!!
– Donna Marie Haymes
“I cannot say enough good things about Jaimie. She is an absolute superstar at being a virtual assistant. Her depth of knowledge and out-of-box ideas add a lot of value to businesses. Her advice has been so helpful. Not only has she taught me how to be a more productive Virtual Assistant, but she is so much fun to work with, and I highly recommend her resources! Jaimie was like finding a needle in a haystack when I felt like my business needed a good change and learning from her has been nothing but a positive experience. She KNOWS the ins-and-outs of Virtual Assistance and the motivation VA’s need to make their business a success.”
“Jaimie and I are in the same profession. I can’t say enough about her. Her guidance and advice has helped me in every way to grow my business. She is extremely knowledgeable in social media and she has a fabulous background in processes and systems. This, along with her kind and patient demeanor, makes her an absolute winner in my book and for sure she would be in yours.”
“I’ve worked with Jaimie since 2012 and can attest to the excellent service she provides all of her clients. She is always on top of everything and is very organized. I l’ve the fact that she communicates very well with her clients and peers. She is always inclined to share her expertise regarding the Virtual Assistant field and I have learned quite a lot during this time. Her knowledge of social media is beyond belief. It’s amazing how she keeps showing me tips and tricks on how to take things to the next level for her clients and even my own business.”
“Working with Jaimie has been a true blessing from God every step of the way. She took me from just starting a business to actually living it. I read many books and put processes in place, but I was still missing the understanding needed to move in my new VA business successfully.
Jaimie is down to earth and honest. She did not mind sharing all of her experiences or knowledge to help me fast-track toward where I wanted to be in my business. She shared processes, templates, procedures, operations and so much more with me. I love that she also clearly explains the why’s and then breaks down the how’s.
I feel like I got more than a business coach—but ‘above and beyond’ training as well. Jaimie helped me prioritize what was important in my life and professionally. She introduced me to the concepts of being present, making space, and overcoming the mindset of taking the leap into something new and she gave me all the tools to achieve it all (which she helped me not only see but to know).
She helped guide with social media and networking events to build my client base. Her coaching was the start of my journey into a life working for myself and being able to live to my full potential. A life where I can work hard while being my cheerful and happy self and not being subjected to some of the negative elements of working in corporate America—which at this stage of my life—I can do without.
Jaimie will wholeheartedly help you lay the foundation for the growth and success of your business. She is genuine, friendly and she puts every ounce of energy into helping you in the areas you share with her and will show you areas you never thought about as well.
I plan to keep her on my speed dial and would highly recommend her to anyone who is ready to walk the walk in working and running their own Virtual Assistant business. Thank you, Jaimie!”
VA CLIENT PRAISE
“Compared to the other VA’s Iove worked with you are like a Ginzu Knife. You’re super sharp, and you slice and dice a lot faster with better results.”
I’m all teary eyed! You are exactly what Iove needed for so long.and I am so happy and blessed. You are my tower of support. Thank you for being patient with me and so efficient.
“Jaimie is very smart and I appreciate the organized approach she brings to me and my clients.”
“Jaimie had a clear process in place for growing her business. It was a well executed plan. When we connected, she demonstrated she was efficient— had all the tools in place to make your life easier/more efficient as a biz owner, so I had the immediate sense that she could help me do the same. In addition to the “I can get the job done”, she was warm, friendly and conveyed understanding of the challenges faced by smart creatives like me and had systems in place help me help myself! And she understood that I was not looking for someone to simply post on my FB page… I wanted a strategic implementation partner– and I got one. Thank you!”
“I cannot say enough positive things about Jaimie. This book is so well organized, like Jaimie. Providing detailed information to make it so easy for one to develop their own skills as a Virtual Assistant. This is the step-by-step guide everyone needs to ensure they are on the right track and providing the best service for their customers as possible.”
“Jaimie Skultety might just be the most organized, responsive and efficient business person I have ever had the pleasure of working with. I engaged Jaimie to help me with social media marketing to enhance my presence online. She did that and more. During our work together, she was my educator, advisor, and trusted business partner. I have referred a colleague to her and would do so again for anyone looking for expert assistance to streamline and augment their business and business presence.”
“Jaimie is the best VA Iove ever had. She is the perfect role model for VAs. When you look up virtual assistant in the dictionary, I think you’ll find a picture of Jaimie. Just kidding of course, but she is the best. Jaimie really understands what a business owner needs. I never have to worry about her completing an assignment or project on time and within budget. Jaimie acts with integrity and makes each client feel like her most important client. She is trustworthy and has great customer service skills. Many of my clients comment about her responsiveness and her friendly yet professional style. She has enhanced my company brand.”
Thanks to Jaimie, I have now organized my business and am able to achieve what I have been trying to do for years. Keep in contact with past clients, build new relationships, and service my current clients and colleagues in a timely and consistent manner.
Jaimie pays close attention to all of the details related to my coaching business and frequently offers suggestions for improvements. She has incredible knowledge of how to use Social Media effectively. Jaimie is a major asset to my business.
Jaimie is as good as it gets. She has taken charge of our Social Media campaign with wonderful new ideas and initiative. She has created templates, a newsletter, and a myriad of other tasks quickly and accurately. I have even brought her into one of our clients to do some work for them and they are delighted with her. In addition, she is patient and a pleasure to work with. You couldn’t do better than to hire Jaimie. I highly recommend her.
I had worked with a few different assistants before I hired Jaimie. What sets Jaimie apart is her attention to detail, initiative and great organization. Jaimie organizes ME. I don’t need to explain much to her for her to get the job done, and she even recommends things to me that make my marketing more effective and my workload less. If you need an assistant who can simply take projects off your plate and do them better than you could do yourself, Jaimie is the person for that. Thanks for making my life so much easier Jaimie!!
Jaimie is fabulous at developing systems and processes for each task. She produced a wonderful operations manual including video instructions, important contacts and logins. She also was able to troubleshoot technology well. Jaimie also has vast intuitive knowledge which is nice because when she is given a task she is able to take it to the next and better level without me having to give every little detail. She is an asset on any team.
“Before working with Jaimie, I was trying to do everything myself. The real deal is doing that meant things didn’t get done and they just didn’t look professional. They didn’t represent my business brand. Jaimie has helped me brand my coaching and consulting materials in a way that I feel great about presenting them to my clients. My biggest issue before I decided to hire Jaimie was I couldn’t decide where to spend my time therefore I wasn’t doing what I do best. As an executive coach, I try to influence my clients to spend time on what they do best therefore it’s important for me to demonstrate that behavior. Jaimie has been getting my work back to me in a timely fashion and that makes me more efficient in moving forward with my clients. Those of you have been struggling and trying to do everything in your business will be delighted with Jaimie’s work product and efforts to up your game. Everyone needs assistance in their business, and I would highly recommend Jaimie and Upscale Your Business.”
Jaimie’s passion for making business development happen is apparent in everything she does. I have been a small business owner since 1993 and appreciate that Jaimie is a rare find in that she thinks strategically and tactically, positions rapidly, and executes flawlessly. Jaimie understands my strategy and has saved my company time and money by taking appropriate initiatives to streamline processes. I recommend her highly for any small business owner who wants to proactively build a business!.
I delight with great smiles when I think of the honor and privilege of working with you. Your expertise has allowed me to SOAR! Thanks to you the [Powerpoint] presentation you created for my meeting was OFF THE CHARTS! Thank you for everything you do to make me look so good! Jaimie’s work is INCREDIBLE. Accurate, fast, and most of all, her response to my helter-skelter requests are always done in a fast, joyful, and highly professional manner. My life has EXPLODED with creative energy since all of the details are now handled! Thank you Jaimie! You are a life-saver!!!!.
Jaimie is very responsive, knowledgeable and great to work with. The Social Media arena was a mystery to me and she made it simple. She did the hard tasks and gave me the easy ones and now I have a Social Media presence. I could not have done it without her. She is creative and fast and did my business cards and newsletter as if we had been working together forever. She gets me and my business. A joy to work with and I get great results.
Jaimie is a professional, articulate, responsible and dedicated person. Her support helps me to keep my business running smoothly while focusing on my top business priorities. I find her services to be invaluable and count on her as an integral part of my team. Jaimie is someone I would recommend without hesitation!.
Jaimie has great attention to details, works very diligently and gets the job done no matter what. She’s precise in her expectations and defines exactly what she needs from me in order to achieve my objectives. Her customer service and level of professionalism is more than I expected and I’m looking forward to building on this great foundation.
“Really good marketing instincts…Only a handful of people I’ve hired do what they say they will do. Jaimie is always at the top of the list for keeping her word. I was pleased to find that when I search for “coaching for financial advisors,” my Facebook page’s on the first page. The credit goes to you.”
Jaimie’s expertise combined with her reliability make her a screaming great deal. I absolutely feel as if a weight has been lifted from my shoulders and that I have the support I’ve been craving . I am freed up to do more of the work that best supports my clients.
Jaimie has become a valued member of my team for both me and my clients. In fact, I always know my clients will be in very good, highly professional hands when she’s coordinating details with them on my behalf. Without her, I would not have the effective and time-saving systems in my business that allow me to focus on the work I love most. She does an amazing job of tracking all the details so I don’t forget anything and she continues to amaze me with the speed that she can get things done.
Jaimie is truly a professional that is innovative, creative, completely a self-starter with clarity, excellence and focused intention on the project at hand. I have a deep respect for Jaimie and recommend her highly.
Thank you for helping me achieve the biggest revenue month in the history of my business! You’re wonderful and I appreciate all you do for me. I truly feel as though you are my business partner. I truly value your input and great ideas. It’s wonderful having your support. I’m always asking myself, what else can I delegate to Jaimie to free up time for more clients. I think it’s working because Iove had a lot more clients lately. I think the follow-up is invaluable. And clients always comment about your attentiveness. I think having you on board has elevated the image of my business. Jaimie is an extremely professional Virtual Assistant that has freed up hundreds of hours of my time so that I can focus on growing my business. During my first interview with Jaimie, I immediately felt a sense of ease and trustworthiness that has proven to be accurate. Jaimie is efficient, organized, reliable, dependable and genuine. What I l’ve the most is that she understands business and is committed to exceptional customer service both mine and hers. She is extremely loyal and devoted and goes the extra mile. Email to colleague following her referral: Isn’t it wonderful to have Jaimie on your team? Don’t you wonder how you ever got along without her? I think having a professional assistant adds a professional aura to our businesses as well. My clients love Jaimie and treat her very respectfully but of course, that’s because she treats them well, as I’m sure you’re experiencing. What I l’ve about her is that she keeps me on track. I forget stuff and drop the ball on stuff and she’s right there reminding me to do stuff and boosting me up. And she’s so passionate about doing it.
Jamie is a professional, detailed person. She is always very pleasant to work with and is a key factor in gathering vital information to get the job completed!
Jaimie was such a professional in her work with me- I appreciated her efficiency and communication with me. It has been hard to top her in quality! She is really one of the best I have seen.
Jaimie provides both creative and logistical support. She can take a project and often suggest a tweak that can make it better. I like folks that can make my ideas better.
Jaimie is one of the most articulate people I know. I have been amazed by her work ethics. She has always conveyed a very high level of integrity and professionalism. She relieves me of the projects I resist doing and allows for me to do what I do best – Coaching. I trust her emphatically to be her word and to make me look good. I know first-hand that her business is built with a solid foundation and she is equipped to support the professional who seeks impeccability. She manages to master and thrive in every venture she embarks upon. As I write this I feel I could go on and on regarding what I know about her abilities. However, the very fact that I turn the administrative responsibilities of my business over to her with complete confidence that she will make me look good and do what it takes to get a task done completely, efficiently and with above average results should demonstrate what she means to me and the trust I have in her. As a coach who helps small businesses thrive during any economy, I strongly recommend anyone looking to have the edge over their competitors, have a dynamo like Jaimie on their team to make the profound difference that is needed. I endorse her and her business 100%.
Jaimie provides administrative and Social Media services for my business. She quickly learned our software system and how to interpret the reports, which isn’t always easy. Her work is timely, detailed, and creative. She is a self-starter. It is a relief to know that the monthly tasks I give Jaimie will be done and done right. I highly recommend Jaimie and her services.
Jaimie provided timely and accurate proof-reading and basic editing services for two books that my company published. One manuscript contained more than 55,000 words. The estimate she gave was right on target and she exceeded my expectations for timely and accurate completion of the projects. I highly recommend Jaimie for projects that are critical to the success of your business.
We are thrilled to be able to provide our recommendation of Jaimie’s widely varied skills and to attest to her overall integrity in managing so many important aspects of our business. We are very pleased that she continues to dedicate herself to our needs, and we proudly share her with her new clientele.
Jaimie is a huge asset to my team. Though we’ve never met in person, the support I receive is the same as if Jaimie were sitting in the next office. I’ve always considered myself to be organized, but Jaimie takes organization to a whole other level. She has shared her expertise pertaining to processes and systems, creating an outstanding operations manual, social media plan, and great business development templates. Jaimie takes pride in each project and treats it as though it is the most important part of her work day. She genuinely cares about her clients and the projects that are important to them. She thinks ahead, takes initiative, anticipates issues and asks questions so that nothing falls through the cracks. Additionally, Jaimie never backs down from a challenge. She moves forward with confidence and finds the right pieces to the puzzle. I highly recommend Jaimie. She is top notch!
Jaimie was my Executive Assistant at SIVA Corporation for over a year and was extremely competent in organizing and managing me during her tenure not an easy task. She is extremely bright, a self-starter, organized and in every way competent at her job. I never found a one-for-one replacement for her after she left and had two people doing her job. (by the way’ she left when she had a baby and decided to spend the crucial first years with her child).
“I have been struggling as a virtual assistant for a long time now and was beginning to get frustrated with it which is why I downloaded this book. This changed everything for me and is now a huge resource for me. The book contains so much knowledgeable information from someone who has been there before. I loved the section that explained how to properly find clients. I’ve already seen such a change ever since I started doing the small things this book explains. It has a huge amount of information but is put together in a way that is easy to read and most importantly understand.”
“The only VA biz book you’ll need… A valuable book for anyone considering starting a VA business or someone who has already been established in the biz but is floundering or struggling with gaining clients. The book is very thorough and the author is obviously an expert with her own very successful virtual assistant business.”
“With so many opportunities to start a business on the internet this book is highly needed. Finally someone who is IN the Virtual Assistant business and willing to show you- “the how” in how to start. I love the idea of working at home and setting my own hours. This is an excellent step-by-step guide. I love the sections on getting started, marketing and promotion, open for business, and client management. Jaimie even includes tips of the trade and internet links that are very helpful as well as expected start-up costs, strategies for branding, marketing essentials, client consultations tips, and so much more. A great read and a great book.”
“I think its a helpful guide to any business starting out. I am starting an errand/personal assistant business. Thank you so much for writing this book. Informative and honest. I was looking to get a feel for starting and I got that and more.”
“I’ve worked with many VA’s and Jaimie is among the best in class! Jaimie’s book is well-written and easy to understand, and a ‘must-have’ for any assistant’s bookshelf. Jaimie, YOU ROCK!!”
“Who would have thought fifteen or even ten years ago that an administrative assistant can actually take all the learnings of this wonderful and complex job and make it a self-sustained business? Nowadays, as everything is done on-line, why wouldn’t the assistant role go virtual? There is absolutely a market for this out there, the only challenge is to do it the right way. After reading this book, I can see how by mixing the skills that make an assistant great with some business understanding and market insight can transform a job into a very good self-employment option. Jaimie Skultety’s story is personal and insightful, and has some great advice for anyone planning to start a Virtual Assistant business, and this is exactly what made me enjoy reading it.”
“We were interested in what it would take to set up a virtual assistant business. We purchased several Kindle books on the subject (or read them via the Kindle Unlimited program), and this book was the best on the subject BY FAR.”
“I found this book very helpful and as I consider this type of work for myself. I appreciated the author’s wisdom in explaining that just because you can do the work, doesn’t mean you should. You have to be passionate and enjoy administrative work. That really hit home. Passion breeds success.”
“I found tips in this book very practical and valuable. The author teaches how to become an exceptional virtual assistant, how to find and keep clients and how to grow your business. There are very interesting tricks in this book that I am sure will help my Virtual Assistant business. I appreciated a conversational tone of the book that made me feel that Jaimie was talking directly to me. Excellent book!”
“The information is concise, presented in a logical progression, and is insightful based on the author’s experiences. Some of the other books we read seemed like a single blog post dissected and recombined to meet some sort of Kindle books length requirement. “Upscale” was packed full of legit content.”
