Case Study
Mike - the sole trader
Mike is a chimney sweep and owner of Chimtech, a sole trader outfit in the South Wales valleys. He’s a great example of how a virtual PA can increase your profits and raise your company profile.
Before calling on TradeSec, Mike was booking work a week in advance and doing 8 jobs a day – that was all he could manage inbetween acting as his own PA!
TradeSec took over the bulk of his admin, including call answering, diary management and issuing quotes to new customers. And on top of our PA duties, we helped Mike build his company’s image, sourcing a new logo and delivering professional business stationery.
With more time to focus on the job itself, Mike is now booking 4 weeks ahead. And with a better diary system, his virtual PA is filling 12 jobs a day.
These days Mike is so busy he’s taken on 3 new team members. So with a growing business and reputation, Chimtech has expanded to cover the whole of South Wales.
And Mike is the first to agree - without a PA, this could never have happened!
Going forward the company is branching out, installing wood burning fires and Aga cookers. Mike has got our PAs on standby as the new enterprise kicks off. And he knows for sure, as his business grows, he’ll never be short of assistance.
