Virtual tips for the savvy business owner!

A new decade brings change at Champion Assistants!  We are taking our hat out of the “virtual assistant” arena as our core focus over the past year has been web design, eCommerce solution integration and management, social media design and management, and e-marketing strategies.  We considered ourselves virtual assistants insofar as we assisted our clients’ success virtually through our sophisticated service offerings, but we realize this classification just no longer fits!

Our company has grown over the years in terms of team members as well as skill set.  Many of you may not even be aware of all the people behind the scenes, so let me introduce you.

There is Kristi who has been working with all aspects of 1Shopping Cart, email marketing and CMS website maintenance.  She’s got a real flair for marketing, knowing just how to tweak code and build a prospect list.  Kristi’s been with us for 3 years now and continues to be a core team member.

Sarah is our queen of organization.  She works with 1Shopping Cart, CMS websites, email marketing and project management like she could do it in her sleep.  No amount of fine detail or intricate planning is too much for her.  She’s real savvy and we’re delighted she’s been with us for 2 years.

Aaron is our graphic designer for both print and web graphics.  I met Aaron when I approached him about doing graphics originally for Champion Assistants.  When I saw how talented he was - both as a creative thinker and knowing how to design for prospects - I made sure to integrate him in the team right away.  Over the past 3 years he’s created some stellar graphics for our clients including product design, business cards, website banners, website buttons, print newsletters,  and ezines.

Newer to the team are Alexander and Vladan who have been with us for a year.  They are truly behind the scenes with their problem-solving minds buried in code and coming up with creative web solutions for our clients.  These guys know their stuff when it comes to website design and build.  They have been building a lot of Wordpress platform sites for our clients lately, but they are also hardcore programmers adept at HTML, PHP, ASP, ASP.net, CSS, Java Script, Ajax, C++, Perl, Visual Basic, and the list goes on.  They handle all the website design and build, eCommerce integration, and ongoing website maintenance.

I continue to dedicate my time to project management and improving business strategies with clients.  My core skills are project management, business development and technology integration.  It’s a real thrill for me to be a part of my clients’ successes.

Now it’s time for us to move forward into 2010 continuing to serve the needs of small businesses.  Our target market is  businesses with 10 - 250 employees looking for distinctive web design and a team to strategize and then execute their online sales and marketing strategy.  We love putting the pizazz in our clients’ online presence and setting them up to reap more sales. You can read some stories of what our clients think of us on our Testimonials page.

Pretty soon you will see us with a new name and a revised web presence.  We’ll be keeping you updated via our blog and ezine along the way!
