Deirdre Shockley’s Summary
Deirdre’s Virtual Office provides administrative support to Successful Virtual Assistants, small businesses and churches, remotely through the use of modern technology. I am a highly-trained independent entrepreneur providing business support services virtually via phone, fax and internet based technology to support and meet the growing needs of businesses worldwide.
I began researching the opportunities for a home based secretarial service in 1997. Through the years I collected information, office equipment, and improved my administrative skills. In the early months of 2007 I was ready to launch Deirdre’s Virtual Office.
Deirdre’s Virtual Office provides Virtual Administrative support to allow the you, the business owner the time you need to focus on the job God has called you to do. A business without an administrative assistant causes the business owner to spend too much time focusing on the small stuff. As the Virtual Assistant for your Virtual Assistant business, I will enable you to spend more time working on the aspects of your business that you love and leave the rest to me.
