‘Hi Brandy, what do you do?’
‘My name is Brady, and I’m a virtual assistant.’
‘I’m sorry Bradley, and what is that, that you do?’
‘My name is Brady, like Tom “BRADY”, and I’m an assistant, who works virtually.’
‘That sounds interesting Brad, so you would pick up my dry cleaning? ‘
🤦🏼♀️ … between my name and career, I’m asked a lot of questions on a daily basis.
My name is Brady. It seems short and simple but it has been a name many get confused with.
While it was maybe annoying in the early years, now it’s almost wrong if they get my name right, especially at the coffee shops.
How about Bridget, Braden, Bardy, Grady (my fav) and a new one, Regan, huh? … I have a big list of all the ‘name calling’.
But I do give applause to all the baristas as I would never be able to do it, I know I would not get a name right, especially in the busy, noisy coffee shop.
I have just never understood what makes my name so hard to understand. 🤷♀️
When I started my virtual assistant business, I found not only my name to be a question, but many do not understand what my career and business is.
I believe the confusion happens because of the word ‘virtual’.
Virtual just means I am not physically sitting in your office.
Assistant means I am helping you.
As your Virtual Assistant, I am your right-hand helper who works outside of your office.
Have you ever watched the movie “The Devil Wears Prada?”
Anne Hathaway and Emily Blunt play assistants to Meryl Streep, and they do All. The. Things. They are in-house assistants, working within the corporate walls for one tough, demanding boss. It showcases a true level of assisting.
I love that movie. I am
not that assistant. 😁 (but would love to virtually assist someone in the fashion world, oh yes please)
My assistant role does not look like that, but it is strong in helping business owners with the day-to-day tasks, and working on them from my home office.
So while I won’t be
physically fetching your coffee or bringing you your dry cleaning, I will find a way to get them to you. 😁
Have you ever said to yourself “I wish I didn’t have to do this today?”
Or, “I wish I had someone to help me with this project due next month.”
That is me, BRADY, a virtual assistant here to help you ... also known as
Virtually Brady.
You don’t need me sitting across from you or down the hall from your office to be your dedicated assistant, getting tasks done. ✔️
Think about your day-to-day tasks and those that are consuming your time. Now think about those tasks being done
without you doing it.
While each business owner has different task priorities, I have a top 6 list that includes tasks consistent business to business, and provides a great starting list of what help you can use:
This is essentially just what it sounds like! With the Inbox Management task, I will manage your email inbox, keep it organized and respond to
emails
so it
is up-to-date
and your contacts are communicated to in a timely manner.
This is often a service that is either started but not maintained consistently or needs to be established. With this service, I will draft a newsletter template and schedule emails, on a consistent schedule, for your business to talk to your customers and followers and gain new contacts.

HERE.
Did you know that having a Google listing presence is almost just as important as having a social media presence? Most business owners don’t recognize this importance, which is why my services include full Google Management so that you don’t have to worry about it.
With this task, I will maintain your Google Listing so it is current, which helps the SEO so your local business is found by more contacts.
And if you’re not sure why being present on Google is so important, refer
HERE for the full rundown!
If you are a store owner, have you ever felt an inventory overload? When new inventory comes in, you have to enter each item into your system, create the barcodes, and mark each item, as well as get a new arrival email ready and all the social posts. If you have regular new inventory coming in, especially over the holidays, it can take a lot of your time. Gone are those days! I assist with inventory entry, organizing keyword descriptions and collections, and of course, work the email marketing, and more. And, if you don't use barcodes, I can create them to make your checkout process quick and easy for your customers.
As a business owner, there are a lot of deadlines for you to keep up with and when you’re working on big projects, it can be easy for things to go overlooked. That’s where I can come in! With this service, I can assist with events and specific projects to be sure the deadlines are met, communication is kept current with all involved, and all the details are cared for and stays organized.
Let’s be real… we all have a love / hate relationship with social media, don’t we?
While it can feel like a lot to keep up with, having a consistent social media presence as a business owner is important, which is why I aim to help clients map out a content calendar for their social media accounts, respond to social messages and provide engagement on your accounts.
This list does not include all the tasks that I assist with, it is simply a starting point to help you understand what exactly a virtual assistant *can* help you with. Not all apply to each business, and some businesses need other tasks done.
I always partner with a business owner to map out a plan and prioritize the tasks I can assist with to help their business.
When we partner together, you not only
save money but also actively
grow your business.
Unlike hiring an employee, you do
NOT
pay for:
A salary or hourly rates
Overtime pay
Office space
Office equipment
No benefits (like vacation, holidays, sick leave, insurance, 401K)
No training fees
You save money because you only pay for the
work you need done.
My favorite part of being your virtual assistant is
‘gifting’ you
TIME.
Time is valuable.
When we work together, you have more freedom in your day to focus on those specific tasks you love in business and work fully on your passion.
And maybe even take a break and grab lunch with your best friend.
When you have that time to dedicate to your business the way you know how, growth starts to happen. Think about what it does when you have time to network, build relationships with clients, and attend social gatherings to share your business.
I will be working to maximize the tasks we agreed on to bring the business more leads, clients, and customers.
The small details in those time-consuming tasks
DO make a difference in business when they are kept up-to-date and worked consistently. Even inbox management can lead you to new clients and customers. #itsinthedetails
There are also marketing tweaks to be done with tasks like
Email Marketing and
Google Listings
that help business growth.
When you are doing all the tasks in your business, you can lose sight of why you started and start to feel less passionate about it.
When we partner together, you will start to feel the passion again, the FUN returns and you feel a newfound freedom to get things done, and grow.
My passion is to help you get there by working on the tasks that are sucking the life out of your day.
My name is Brady. I am a virtual assistant. And I would love to connect with YOU to grow your business!
