You desire the freedom to dedicate yourself fully into your role as CEO & visionary of your business without getting bogged down in the day to day, or waking up in the middle night in a panic about what got forgotten.
I have been working online since 2008 (initially as a technical Virtual Assistant)and became a Certified Online Business Manager in 2011.
That’s right – I have over a decade of experience!
While I am generally not in the task execution role, my strong technical background allows me to efficiently plan, manage and direct your team to handle their assigned tasks with clarity and confidence in the defined process. No micro-managing required.
You are freed from the day to day operations of the business, including the management of your team. You can focus your time and energy on the parts of the business that need you and only you:
I choose to work with a very small number of clients at the OBM level at any given time (3 maximum) so that I have the focus and concentration needed for each client. I immerse myself in your business, working directly with you and your team (or helping you get one into place) for the success of your business.
Day to Day Operations
As your Online Business Manager, I take responsibility for day-to-day operations. I own the planning, maintenance and deployment of the business operations to ensure they align with the overall business vision and goals.
Some areas of responsibility:
I understand and have in-depth working experience with a broad selection of Shopping Carts, Project Management, Social Media and Email Management Systems.
Some examples: Infusionsoft by Keap ®, Active Campaign, WordPress (Elementor, Divi, Optimizepress), Leadpages, Memberium, Digital Access Pass,TeamWork Desk, TeamWorkPM, ClickUp, MeetEdgar, Hootsuite, Zoom, GSuite, Dropbox, Zapier, PlusThis, Calendly, Acuity.
90-day Planning for your Editorial & Marketing Activities
I understand and geek out on setting up and optimizing every piece of the marketing lifecycle – from initial lead capture through delivery and beyond (testimonials, nurturing, referrals and ultimately, focusing on lifetime customer value).
I have attended programs and supported clients in the implementation of campaigns and projects modelling strategies from:
Of note, I have been working with Infusionsoft by Keap ® for over 10 years and became a Certified Consultant in 2016. I have completed beginner and advanced level training in Infusionsoft by Keap ® and I’ve completed Infusionsoft set-up and transition projects and love using the Campaign Builder to manage the marketing funnel and sales process.
I ensure the right person is doing the right task at the right time… on budget.
To my best work managing a team and projects, I use Teamwork or Clickup as a project management tool.
I work with your team on your behalf, removing you from the day to day updates, tracking and management.
I hire, train and lead your team to work to do their best work and to serve your vision.
Not every person, nor every business, is always a match. As your Online Business Manager, I’m choosing to invest in your business rather than build my own empire, so I am super selective about my clients in order to do my best work.
While there are a number of factors that affect fit, personality and ease of communication between myself and you, as the business owner, are major factors. To explore working together, I offer a free 30 minute Discovery Session where we discuss your business needs and goals in an initial “get to know you” session.
Then, if we decide to start working together, we begin on a “Trial Basis” based on an hourly rate for the first 90 days. This means neither of us is locked in to a contract until we’ve gotten a chance to get to know one another and are sure we want to commit to a longer working relationship.
After that point, we work together to develop a compensation plan – often a monthly retainer starting at $2500 + incentive compensation (based on revenue). This allows us to work free from the confines of the time for money model, which can actually restrict growth and motivation!
