A Personal Assistant for a Buck a Day

    MAKATI, PHILIPPINES, October 27, 2008 /24-7PressRelease/ -- I spoke to one of the virtual assistants at CatchFriday, and Jo told me that a client called, and wanted a virtual assistant for 10 hours a day, five days a week and wanted to hire one for a month!

All very interesting and welcome to ask.

CatchFriday's virtual assistants work on average 8 hours a day, so there would be some element of a number of virtual assistants working for the client in a month - I wonder if you would be satisfied with that?

The client started immediately to try to bargain the price, 200 hours and he wasn't interested in the idea that they had lunch too.

When I heard about this in my mind I pictured a slave, maybe I was just missing the point, as I sit in my car driving along the A40 in London, UK on the way to the office.

Treat your virtual assistant well and they'll be motivated, won't they?

A quick look at the web reveals many people looking for the cheapest deal, but is cheap always best?

I beg to differ, as the virtual assistants at CatchFriday are suitably qualified, have clients who come back for more and more, and are not expensive.

Catch Friday has positioned itself low in the market place, at US$10 an hour, and whereas their competitor Get Friday costs US$15 an hour on Pay As You Go - you have to buy 40 hours with them before they reduce to our amount.

So where is the catch? GetFriday lowers the price to US$7 an hour for 160 hours - just imagine the standard that you are paying for. The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.

So what is the difference between the cheapest price and our price? QUALITY as simple as that. Go to India and loose your confidentiality, be treated on a conveyor belt in a supermarket and become just another client of a big corporation or come to CatchFriday and receive a service with a virtual personal assistant who knows your name, what you like to do, and has a good work ethic.

CatchFriday never changes your assistant half way through your assignment, does not change the design team, and does not choose teenagers to do your work. Indeed we don't employ children.

CatchFriday set up AskSunday with a back office in the Philippines. At that time they couldn't do themselves - the company that they went for initially gave them a good service, and then because of the cheap amount they were being paid, gave them a lower service. You pay US$7 and you get a service worth US$1 to the staff they employ.

CatchFriday staff are motivated, work hard and give a quality service.
