Jo Eakins, owner of The Essential Assistant, has brought an old, behind the times bridge club into the modern world of social media. Jo came to me with a plan to put the Greeley Afternoon Bridge Club on Facebook in an effort to increase interest and ultimately more participation in my weekly duplicate bridge games. She designed the site, researched the web for appropriate material and has made bi-weekly posts all in a timely and professional manner. I love working with Jo and would unequivocally recommend that anyone looking to develop a social media presence for their business or organization contact her immediately

Jo is creative, honest and efficient. I have recommended her to many of my friends to help them in their business. When it comes to social media "experts" most will promise anything to get the account but are then short on performance. Jo is very knowledgeable and in my case makes great suggestions on how to best communicate with my clients and prospects. I had to kiss a lot of frogs over the years before I found Jo Finally an Executive Assistant that has become an essential partner in my business

We have been working with Jo for a few months now. She is very easy to work with when you give her tasks to complete. Where she really is an assist is if you have projects that need to be completed and she can give you short cuts to implement in your business. Jo also can see areas that need attention and guides you through a process to complete them. We highly recommend her and her services as you too will find her ESSENTIAL to your business!

Hi!  I’m Jo Eakins!

I am a Denver native and currently live in Greeley Co. I have four grown daughters and 3 grandchildren.

As the owner of a small plumbing company for twenty years, I really do understand the struggles and rewards that come with having a small business.

I have a degree in Business Management from Colorado State University – Global Campus and am excited to be back in an entrepreneurial setting.

My passion for small business extends beyond my own company as I proudly serve as Board President for The Evans Area Chamber of Commerce. I also believe in giving back to my community and as such am a member of the Assistance League of Greeley.

My hobbies include reading, paper crafting, and spending time with family.

How can I help?
