Expert Virtual Executive Assistants to Industry Bodies
Membership Organisations
This storyboard involves a group of industry bodies across New Zealand and Australia. They embarked on a journey to enhance their customer relations and digital operations with the aid of a Virtual Executive Assistant (VEA).
Over the years we have served several membership organisations.
Background
These industry bodies, each a leader in their respective fields, were facing challenges in managing customer relations and streamlining their digital processes. They sought to leverage tools like Microsoft, Zoho, MYOB, Xero, and modern communication channels, but lacked the resource to fully integrate these into their daily operations.
The Challenge
The key challenges were:
- Enhancing Customer Relations: Improving engagement and responsiveness to members and stakeholders.
- Digitisation: Streamlining operations through digital tools.
- Financial Management: Efficient utilization of MYOB or Xero for accounts management tasks.
- Communication Overhaul: Enhancing internal and external communication strategies.
- Cohesive Meeting Co-ordination: Support for committee members.
- Event management: Annual conference and trade display management.
- Website Content Management: Keeping website content fresh and relevant.
The Solution
The industry bodies decided to bring on board a VEA with a strong background in customer relations and digital tools.
- Customer Relations Maestro: we implemented a CRM system tailored to each body’s needs, ensuring efficient tracking and follow-up with members and stakeholders. We also managed customer inquiries, providing timely and personalized responses.
- Digitisation Dynamo: we streamlined various processes through digital tools, reducing paperwork and increasing efficiency. We integrated systems for better data management and accessibility.
- Financial Whizz: With expertise in MYOB and Xero, we took over financial management tasks, ensuring secure and accurate bookkeeping, invoicing, and financial reporting, thus freeing up valuable time for other strategic activities.
