This arrangement ensures that you can leverage our virtual assistants for your sales and marketing efforts while maintaining control over telecommunication costs.
Can I install my application on my virtual assistant's PC for work purposes?
Yes, you can install your application on your virtual assistant’s PC, but this requires prior approval. You will need to provide proper documentation of the application to ensure it complies with our security standards. Once submitted, our system administrator will review the documentation and give the necessary approvals if it meets our criteria. This process helps maintain the security and integrity of our systems while enabling you to customize your virtual assistant’s tools to meet your business needs.
What happens after the free trial?
After the three-day free trial, you will be automatically charged for the plan you initially selected on a monthly basis. To avoid being charged if you decide not to continue with our services, you must inform us within two days of the trial ending. This ensures that you have ample time to evaluate our services and make an informed decision about continuing without any commitment worries.
What happens when my virtual assistant is sick?
If your virtual assistant becomes sick and is unable to work, we will notify you at least 8 hours in advance of their unavailability. Tasks Expert also has a backup virtual assistant system in place. These backup assistants are trained alongside your primary virtual assistant to ensure they are familiar with your tasks and preferences. Should you need continued support during your primary assistant’s absence, a backup virtual assistant can step in, provided you approve this arrangement. This ensures that your operations remain smooth and uninterrupted, even if your primary assistant is unavailable.
What should I do if my virtual assistant resigns from their job?
If your virtual assistant resigns, there is no need for concern. They will remain on a three-month notice period during which we will seamlessly transition to a new virtual assistant for your account. During this period, your outgoing virtual assistant will train the new virtual assistant and prepare Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) to ensure a smooth transition. This process is designed to maintain, if not enhance, the quality of service you receive, ensuring continuity and satisfaction with our services.
