-
Generate time and headspace for its founder to be and operate in her 'zone of genius' and focus on more strategic aspects of growing and maintaining the businesses
-
Setting up, connecting, updating and maintaining tech tools and systems to streamline our operations and services
-
Systems and processes review and creation to improve efficiency and effectiveness
-
Being able to think critically, proactively suggest recommendations for improvements, and provide excellent customer service to clients and team members

-
Team management and creation of Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) to assure consistency and how-to guides
-
Creation of SOPs to deliver their coaching programmes

Review of internal processes

Taking care of customer enquiries and client onboarding
Once the initial set up was completed, I focused on:
-
Continuous improvement
-
Team management
-
Onboarding of new team members

Ensure that customers had enquiries dealt with on a timely manner and at a high standard
-
Weekly, monthly and quarterly reporting

TESTIMONIAL
“Laia is a joy to work with! Having her support not only frees up my time but provides me with peace of mind. I have developed a deep trust as her high standards and genuine care are aligned with our values and the excellent service we strive to provide to our own customers.”
“Laia is proactive and has taken it upon herself to study and get to know our business’ non-mainstream systems. Her curiosity and desire to figure things out independently is immensely appreciated and she achieves a wonderful balance of making decisions on her own and asking for support/input where needed.”
