Never put up with poor service or substandard equipment

Within a space of 48 hours, I recently experienced two extremes of service in business.

At 7.15am on a Sunday morning I received a text and email from my bank. Thirty minutes after initial contact, they phoned me.

They were alerting me to the fact that three fraudulent payments were transferred out of my bank account overnight (that’s not credit card, actual bank account, which is way scarier!)

My Virtual Assistant, working from home since 2009!

What a crazy world we are living in at the moment.

I wanted to take a moment to acknowledge what's happening in New Zealand and around the world.

Like you, I have been watching as the Coronavirus Pandemic has unfolded, and it has been a topic of discussion everywhere I go.

office desk

The other day I was chatting with an acquaintance and they asked my why I love doing what I do, so much.

My initial reaction was to laugh-out-loud and say, ‘for the money, of course!’

Who is your business celebrity?

question

If your business was a celebrity, who would it be?

Which celebrity personality would you identify with your business?

This was a question asked of My Virtual Assistant recently, and after some thought, this is what I came up with...

Woohoo! It's here and it's live!
