Do you have more tasks to do than there are hours in the day?

Is your voicemail box constantly full?

Are you spending your evenings doing paperwork?

Do you use your weekends to develop marketing plans and trying to figure out social media?

Have you missed special occasions and events with family and friends because you just can’t get caught up?

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!
