The rise of virtual assistants
Thanks to technology assistants can now support CEOs through the virtual world.
“The resulting growth of companies hiring virtual assistants has opened up opportunities for companies to find talent that might not have been accessible to them locally and for talent to partner with growing companies who need their skill sets. Working with hundreds of business owners, we have seen first hand how rewarding and successful these partnerships have become for both parties and we are excited for what the future holds!”

The challenge of managing business travel
Managing travel is quite complex.
- Managing three different clients at one time and storing all their preferences and information. For example: company credit cards, seat preferences, documents, frequent flyer membership numbers, etc
- Receiving and reacting to updates such as flight delays, cancellations and more at all hours
- Making group bookings researching across dozens of travel booking sites
- Booking flights and hotels in locations in which you have little knowledge or experience
Best Practices
- Use an online booking tool that the executives can access in order to improve and streamline communication for approving itineraries and to reduce email exchanges
- Make sure you know the company travel policy and receive updates when they are made (min time in advance, price cap per city etc.)
- Whether you are using an agent, an online booking tool or both, make sure you receive outstanding 24/7 support so there is always someone available to help your executives and you can relax. (But watch out for hidden fees and extra charges)
- Find a tool or agency that lets you book all travel in one place keeps track of every invoice for simple reporting
- Select a tool that integrates with the expense management tool the executive uses
