A personal assistant can get things on track in the project management arena simply by getting quotes for various projects and services on behalf of the client. The client doesn't have to spend countless hours waiting, they don't feel frustrated because they are finally getting the kitchen repainted after two years of requests by their spouse.

                                                
Service requests will not be accepted by email, fax or mail without the completed proper service request forms.  (No exceptions)

On behalf of Mason-Dixon Concierge, LLC, please welcome our new employee Sandra Waters.

There are many ways a personal concierge or assistant can make your life easier for instance setting - up a mass FIX-IT session.

Here's how it works. The client simply goes around the house and makes a list of all the little jobs that they have been meaning to do. (Sometimes for YEARS)

Here is a sample list:

1) Fix leak in shower

2) Fix loose tile in kitchen

3) Replace outlet in kid's room

4) Repair lock on garden gate

5) Caulk around upstairs tub

6) Fix leaky toilet in master bath

7) Repair downspout

8) Patch crack in driveway

Once a list is compiled your personal assistant will engage a skilled handyman or two to come and tackle the jobs in a single day. Since most tradesman charge a service call fee the client would only have to pay once and get all of those annoying tasks off the list in a single visit. The personal assistant  will meet the service personnel, show them the tasks, then inspect the work once complete.

Most people will feel a tremendous relief and satisfaction with the accomplishment since the items won't continuously remind them of a job waiting to be done.

Thank you R.G. for sending us three new clients and you may rest assure that Mason-Dixon Concierge will take care of them as if they were our own family.

Teachers have substitutes. Why can't regular employees?

Going to a temporary service is time consuming and even then one doesn't know who they are getting until they show up on site. And then there is the time needed to get up to speed on a task.

Sometimes a business simply needs hands and someone with the ability to make basic decisions. A personal assistant or concierge can assist a client who owns or runs a business.

A personal assistant or concierge can help on a temporary basis if needed. The  assistant can help on various projects that support the primary work or company mission.

Most people love reunions, yet those same people usually hate planning and organizing them. Your client can be a hero in any group they belong to by being the one who managed to pull together a reunion for the family, a high school class, a military unit or any other organization in which they were members with the assistance of a personal concierge or assistant.

One of the most demanding tasks in this era of electronic communication is handling email effectively. More are more people are delegating this task to their personal assistant.

If you are like me, you get hundreds of emails each week. The fact is that I often get behind and lately I have been considering having my own personal assistant manage my email so that I can stay on top of it all and respond to people in a reasonable amount of time.

Lately, I have been encountering more executives who have their assistants handle their email. It makes perfect sense - after all, of the hundreds of emails I get each week the vast majority are routine. They are either not relevant or they require a standard response.
