Marketing Advisor
While its always an honor to be part of anything Tawnya Sutherland does for the virtual assistance industry, being on the VAcertified.com board is a role that both humbles me and challenges me as a marketer. We are breaking ground with the VAcertified process. We are creating foundations that will strengthen the position of an industry whose time has come. This is especially so in an era when small- and medium-sized businesses in North America seek out competitive outsourcing alternatives that don’t just help them get things done but that can become a competitive arm of their enterprise. For the virtual assistant who aims to meet this need head on, VAcertified.com is the missing link in an online environment wrought with choice but starving for real solutions. I’ve no doubt that VAs and business owners alike will find the competitive edge they’re looking for at VAcertified.com.
