GetFriday.com - Virtual Assistance for Your Business

Always dreamed about your own personal assistant? GetFriday can´t promise they´ll be there to fix you coffee, but they do provide basic and often unconventional services via internet for their clients. Your personal assistant will be there 24 hours a day to carry out the humdrum tasks you won´t have to carry out anymore to get you to Friday. Among scheduling appointments, drafting legal documents, and conducting online research, GetFriday also completes rather unconventional tasks, like buying your underwear, reading your son a bedtime story over the phone, and sending your significant other cards and flowers when you´re in the doghouse. Basically, you can request that your online assistant carry out any task that does not require his or her presence, and what´s more, you´ll also be paying for the collective knowledge of the personal assistance team at GetFriday. This means, if your designated personal assistant doesn´t feel she has the know how or expertise to carry out a task, she can pass on another more capable team member to do it.

“We aim to provide all the skills and knowledge of an Executive Assistant to you, even though we may be a thousand miles away. We can do any task that doesn´t need our physical presence and can be carried out over e-mail, telephone, fax and the internet.

For plans that are designed for small businesses, they round up between 10 or 15 minutes per tasks. Are they short changing the clients who will need to economize the most? How are they logging these hours, and will the integrity of the assistant be questioned if the hours spent on a task are questioned? Might excessive rounding damage their rep, or might this small incremental rounding be too insignificant to worry about?
