Frequently Asked Questions

---

You are ready for a virtual assistant if you currently have a process in place for executing your business tasks.  If this process is in your head, which is likely for many solopreneurs, you need to write it down. You cannot hire someone to assist you in success if they cannot do the work without you telling them what to do along the way.  If you do not have a process in place, you need to create one!  Our strategic planning service is provided specifically for this reason.

The top three questions you should prepare for prior to your discovery call are 1- what is it that you need assistance with, 2- how often do you desire support, and 3- how much have you budgeted.  These are the primary questions that need to be answered in order for you to know if hiring a virtual assistant is possible for you. 

We stand out from other virtual assistant companies because Your Business Nanny is a professionally trained event planner that works to assist event professionals with running their businesses so they can focus on what they are most passionate about.

You can hire SML Assisting LLC on a project-by-project basis or long-term retainer.

Our typical process for working with a new client is as follows:

Execution Support - you will complete a new client questionnaire, book a free discovery call to discuss your needs, a proposal will be emailed to you, and once it is accepted a contract and invoice will be sent for signature and payment. Then we'll have a strategy call directly prior to us beginning our work with you.

Strategic Planning & Consultancy - you will book your appointment, pay the consultation fee, we'll meet to discuss your needs, and a strategic plan will be emailed to you within 48 business hours. At this point you can DIY your execution, or hire us to handle it for you.

Your Business Nanny is great at creating a plan and executing it.  If she don’t know something, she'll research the topic until she's grasped the concept to share it with someone else.  Our core values are strong relationships, collaboration, and detail orientation.
