Admin tasks — what are those?

Sometimes it’s hard to know what I mean when I say that I do administrative tasks.

So, here are what I enjoy and do a lot of, and what else I am able to do.

How can I use my skills to support your business?

What I LOVE to do

  • Help people — it’s hard for me to say “no”
  • Professional mentorship
  • Take notes
  • Turn interviews into stories
  • Attend meetings (I like to be informed)
  • Give personality to your story (I can usually find an interesting tidbit)
  • Work ahead (I like to have a long-term plan ahead of me)
  • Provide detailed reports (but I can offer a summary if you need that instead)
  • Make outgoing or receive incoming professional phone calls
  • Research — Online or in paper records, such as public records
  • Any other plans or goals we can discuss that you might have and are not on this list

What else I am great at doing

  • Writing, editing, talking, communicating
  • Empathizing, discussing, assertively listening, taking notes,
  • Helping others, managing lists
  • Sending mailed letters or email newsletters
  • Writing News releases, feature stories, content organization, content creation, layout design
  • Excellent follow through, self directed, reliable to complete tasks with no supervision
  • Social skills – Small business connections, and organizations, and …  
  • Answering calls and emails — I am great at being consistent to respond to these communication methods
  • Scheduling appointments or activities.
  • Data processing — information sheets
  • IT support – I am good at walking people through some basic computer advice
  • Any other ideas we can discuss you might have

What else I CAN do –

  • Basic social media post designs (I’m learning and improving as I go)
  • List management and database audits
  • Data entry — If you just need information recorded in your software, I can do that
  • Organization skills – I can help with this!
  • Research of ideas or plans or possible goals to turn general lists into detailed assignments
  • Any other thoughts you have that we can discuss that are not on this list

What I know that I do NOT do – 

  • I can NOT do your bookkeeping or other professional certified work — but I can support anyone in these industries!
    • I can set up appointments and delegate their questions to the client because I’m helping make calls but not discuss product details. I do know how to “stay in my lane” and let you be the professional.
  • But also any type of home renovation work, painting, installation, quality assurance work for home upgrades. 
    • We’ve learned this the hard way — 70% of my husband’s work was to quality assurance check my own tasks

So what’s missing?

I’m always open to discuss any ideas you might have that are not on this list.
