Do you need help with your business that's professional, knowledgeable and flexible?
Would you like more time to spend doing the work you love and still have time for your family?
I can help. I worked in the IT industry for 22 years. Running remote teams meant I had to run my own office as well as do my job. I also gained skills in running and tracking complex projects. After leaving the industry in 2009, I set up Jellybean Business Support in April 2011 and have been working with clients to help them run their businesses more effectively. I have high standards of work, as well as providing absolute confidentiality. My IT skills mean I can do more than I can undertake more tasks than a junior member of staff. I call it "Intelligent Business Support".
I can be that additional team member, who works as needed to provide a seamless service to both you and your customers.
What can I do for you?
Standard PA work - producing letters and other documents, replying to sales enquiries via telephone and email, diary management, travel arrangements, invoicing and credit control, spreadsheet design.
Research - I can research information using the Internet and other resources providing reports on my findings.
Procurement - researching the best price for the items you need for your business to save you money. I can deal with suppliers to build good relationships and high standards of service.
Assistance with running your business processes - tracking clients and milestones, compiling statistics and producing reports for clients or for internal use, or I can assess how you work and set up better ways for you to do your administration.
Social media - I can write engaging content for your business blog or website. I write a personal blog, called The Five Fs blog, which I have written since April 2010. It is a top 30 parenting blog and a top 20 food blog. Additionally, I was a finalist in the Blog Post of the Year category in the MAD Blog Awards 2011 and a finalist in the 2012 in the Best Family Fun and Best School days categories. I have written sponsored posts and reviews on this blog for a number of different clients. I can also tweet on your behalf to give you the online profile that you need but may not have time to maintain or help advise you on providing outreach to bloggers.
IT Consultancy and advice - I can assess your use of IT within your business and make recommendations based on your business requirements.
All of this done professionally and with the minimum of fuss. I have access to the full suite of Office 2010 and up to date hardware with access to high speed broadband.
What next?
Get in touch with me and we can discuss your requirements.
Jellybean. Intelligent Business Support.
