Why a virtual assistant?
As a virtual assistant we see the value our work gives to our clients, we are not simply a secretary covering diary management or taking calls in the traditional sense but so much more. We are your right hand, literally a clone of you helping you every step of the way as a business owner. We are used to working with entrepreneurs that are great at what they do. We let them focus on the core part of their business where their true passion lies by ticking off their to do list and completing all the tasks that they don’t want to do, don’t have time for or the inclination to do.
Besides giving our clients the extra time to spend with their families, the one crucial element that our clients love about having a virtual personal assistant is the ‘Peace of mind’ it gives them. Knowing that they can fully trust us to complete a task with the utmost care and confidentiality needed.
Virtual Personal Assistants are also a cost-effective alternative to employees, especially when you consider there isn’t any holiday or sick pay, no tax, NI or pension costs. You will not be paying for coffee breaks or office chit chat either, so essentially you will be eliminating all the unproductive working hours you have with an employee. The big plus is you won’t have to train us, we are already trained in all the tasks you need us to do.
We offer either a “pick up, put down” hourly rate or retainer agreements from just 4 hours per month which offers you something more stable – whichever suits your business. We pride ourselves on open and honest pricing, so you will never get a surprise bill, and we can work to your budget.
Why Pink Spaghetti?
Pink Spaghetti is a franchise, which means that I have a great team of people to call on, whenever I need to. I see them as my Pink Spaghetti Family, so If there is something, I can’t answer myself I know I have someone who can. If a large project comes in or if I am ill or need holiday cover, I can always count on them. No task is ever too big or too small.
As small business owners ourselves we appreciate how much there is to do! We are a friendly, honest, and down to earth bunch of people that love nothing more than becoming part of your team and helping your business thrive. Our clients enjoy outsourcing to us without the hassle of employing.
A range of Virtual PA Services
We love the variety in the tasks that are given to us from administration, social media management, organisation, bookkeeping, website updates to arranging events or researching the best CRM for a business. We can get a project off the ground that has been dormant for a while or complete old tasks that you have been putting off.
We welcome all sorts of tasks and always love rising to the challenge a new task presents.
Case Studies Here is how some of our customers use us.
Executive Training Coach
We have worked with this East Grinstead based client for several years now, managing their online training workshops by initially researching the best platform for them to launch their courses on, looking at platforms such as Thinkific, Teachable to Learnworlds. Subsequently uploading their training workshops and videos on a regular basis and editing the site for them as required. We also create newsletters for their sponsors that goes out to their vast database.
Community Support Company
This is a new client who we support in a number of areas. We have become their personal virtual assistant in many ways by updating the valuable information on their website, sending out weekly newsletters and researching sponsors that would work well with them. They currently support a huge community in Worthing and have a very active Community Facebook page. We have also recently been asked to help in moderating the page and we manage their Social Media accounts in promoting this valuable service.
Accountancy Company
This Sussex based client used our services to complete a large project that had been weighing on their minds for some time. The work was time sensitive, highly confidential and needed great attention to detail. We had a timeframe of 3 months to complete the work and we are pleased to say it was finished ahead of time.
Independent Retail Company
We have worked with this Steyning based high street company for over a year handling their social media accounts. We create branded posts for them, researching the content, scheduling out their posts and managing their Etsy page to ensure their online sales are working effectively and compliment their high street presence.
What our Customers Say
“Sandra is reliable and efficient always working hard to fit what we give her within a realistic timeframe and budget. Always available in an emergency situation eg. when your website crashes with a calm demeanour and safe pair of hands to know what to do and who to call! I have no hesitation in recommending Sandra for PA work whether it be a small one-off project or on-going support work.”
Camilla Gooden – Co-Founder of SUDC UK
“I have worked with Sandra for just over a year now. Her support and dedication, along with her professional approach has been a welcomed and valued addition to my business and I look forward to continuing our partnership as our businesses grow. Sandra, thank you for all your hard word, encouragement and Pink Spaghetti touch.”
Sarah O’Connell – The Sussex Baby Show
“I can not recommend Sandra enough to anyone who wants to start a business. Her insight into social media and marketing is invaluable. Particularly all the different functions in Facebook, linking these to other social networks. Her inspirational 1-1’s sessions are incredibly good to empower you to move forward in your business.”
Sarah Whitely – Skylarking Kids
“I'm a business owner of an environmental and engineering consultancy. We've used Sandra at Pink Spaghetti on a few occasions for advice and delivery of a range of tasks. She's a cut above the rest that's for sure. When we've been in a tight situation, she's always been very supportive and delivered, even with tight perhaps unreasonable timeframes. Fair and reasonable pricing coupled with excellent service & delivery makes it good value, justifying selecting Sandra. We're delighted with this and should we have a task that needs to go external, we will not look any further than Sandra.”
David Rutherford – Turnkey Regeneration
“I have tried working with a number of VAs in the past but never really found the right fit for my business needs - until I met Sandra. From our first call, Sandra listened carefully to what I needed in terms of support for business, asked only those questions necessary to get the job done, and clearly explained her pricing structure and terms of conditions of work. She made herself and her team available straight away and frequently keeps me up to date on the tasks I delegate to her. Working with Sandra and her team is easy! She has a wide skill set to draw upon and is always honest about where her strengths lie. If she is not the right person for a particular task, she can reach out to her network of VAs to find someone quickly who fits the criteria more closely. Sandra's works fast (!) and demonstrates excellent attention to detail. She is very professional, flexible, friendly, extremely efficient, and thorough, and I could not recommend her more highly. Thanks for keeping me on target Sandra!”
