Hi Gabe!

Thanks for reading!  If you can believe it, this is only a brief list of what our VA's can do!  Please let me know if you like to learn more!  If you have day to day tasks that either take too much of your time or tasks that you simply just do not like doing, we should definitely talk!

I'd be hapy to send you more information or have someone from my team contact you!  Let me know!

So why not just get your own...lots of agents available... lots of people with more specific knowledge of the territory ("gotta know the territory")... and to my thinking way easier to control and more responsive...

Hi Perrin!  You bring up some excellent points!  You could easily hire your own in-office assistant or local virtual assistant. 

The benefits of of choosing Team Double-Click are that our Virtual Assistant's undergo a rigorous testing, screening and interview process before being considered eligible to work with our clients.  We offer 2 Free hours of training with your new VA.  We offer a 30 Day Money Back Guarantee.  In addition to these great benefits, Team Double-Click also provides you with a Virtual Services Representative who will assist you through the process, interview and identify your VA for you, help you and your VA transistion to working together and then will remain a point of contact for you should any issues or questions arise in the future.  When your VA is out sick or going away on vacation, we will provide you with a replacement VA to ensure that your projects continue on.  Our VA's only bill for time worked and not stand-by-time. 

You are still in total control with your virtual assistant.  You are able to control the amount of time they work each week, depending on your budget and your business needs.  Your VA will be in constant contact as you need her each and every day!  You will also be provided with a Daily Report at the end of each business day which will highlight the amount of time worked to the minute and which tasks were completed which tasks are still waiting to be worked on.

Please feel free to let me know if you have any questions or would like additional information!
