Virtual Assistance was born out of the demand for small business owners to focus on core tasks while they trust someone with the skill and knowledge to keep all the other balls up in the air.
Someone to help you streamline, organize, set up and administer things you are not so good at. Today I’d like to give some attention to scheduling, notes and the use of Google Documents. If you do not use Gmail at this time as an email solution, you are missing out on a lot of great features that could make your life easier.
Did you know that your domain emails can be managed by Google Apps enabling you to use the full set of features Gmail has to offer using your info@mydomain.com email?
Did you know you could easily share folders, files and presentations with clients, colleagues and contacts via Gmail?
This also keeps a copy of a file online, accessible through ANY computer with an internet connection. Making it unnecessary to travel with a USB key or laptop to where you need to be?
Are you sitting at a meeting, taking avid notes? Share them in one step with all present and absent members that need to remain up to date, at the click of a button.
Send editable proposals via Google Documents, course material and any other file your contact needs to be prepared to meet and work with you.
Make appointments and check each other’s calendar via Google Calendars.
Well I’m a raving happy Google Documents user, the best part is it’s free.
Another great benefit of having a Google Email management account is, if your PC crashes, your emails are still online in an ever growing inbox, so you can archive to your hearts content and never loose a contact ever again.
Last but not least, BlackBerries have calendar support and so do iPhones, a lot of smartphones can synch with the calendar making is accessible on the go!
We offer virtual assistance to all our clients and can help you set up your Google Apps email inbox system for your domain, quickly and hassle free. You can also use all these features if you have a Gmail account!
How has Google helped you streamline the way you work lately?
