She’s One Of A Kind. My Business Wouldn’t’ve Become What It Is Without Her

As a coach & consultant who’s been in the online world for almost 20 years, I’ve worked with my fair share of technical & administrative support people.

Many of them lovely folks who did good work.

But none’ve come close to doing for my business what Ericka Pardun has.

She’s my right hand. An extra set of (sharp & anticipatory) eyes. An experienced sounding board & strategic partner. And a second (uniquely brilliant) brian.

One part Online Business Manager / Project Manager who horizon-scans for opportunities & possibilities that wouldn’t even occur to me – and cares for my business as much as I do.

One part technical whiz / administrative wonderkind / & bug/problem solver (can you say blisteringly fast?).

One part client relations dynamo.

Plus, she has solid relationships with specialists (designers, social media specialists, writers, media production) she brings into projects when there’s need. And the work’s never been less than top notch.

Most of all, when a series of losses in my personal life put me on my heels (repeatedly), Ericka kept things running for me beautifully (it was such a relief to know my work & my business were in exceptional hands).

She’s helped me make money, keep money & save money – all while doing great work in the world that I’m deeply proud of.

If you’re looking for someone to help you build & run your online business – or for someone to help you plan, execute & manage a launch or sizeable project – look no further ‘cause you’d be beyond lucky to work with Ericka. She’s one of a kind.

Hiring Ericka has enabled me to go from working 60+ hours a week down to less than 5 hours a week. She manages my team, our clients and me! Ericka manages emergency technical issues with a calm demeanour and gets them resolved quickly. Thanks to her I could finally take a vacation and unplug from my business fully. This was previously unimaginable and so was my recent maternity leave! I consider Ericka my partner and go to her for advice about the business frequently. If it wasn’t for her I would be too stressed out to concentrate on my business or my family.

I call Ericka my technical wizard. She handles my web site and technical operations accurately and efficiently, and does it in a way that makes everything go smoothly. I can trust her to respond to client requests with friendliness and skill, and come up with ideas to improve my online presence. To top all this, she’s fun to work with. I highly recommend Ericka as a Virtual Assistant.

Despite her longtime affinity for the Green Bay Packers (hey, no one’s perfect) Ericka represents a singularly unique combination of marketing intelligence, savvy, talent and drive. She is a true student of marketing–seems to genuinely love all the theoretical stuff that truly makes or breaks a truly resplendent campaign, effective website or integrated marketing initiative. What’s more, she possesses an infectious “can do” spirit and is a ridiculously well-organized professional–something never lost on we creatives when we’re looking to find our pens or our positioning! We’ve crossed paths since our days at the St. George Group, and her professional growth and personal development are a testament to her character, intellect and integrity. So it’s really, really, really okay that she’s a Packer fan. She gets it…and gets it done.

I have worked with Ericka for about four years. She brought an enthusiastic approach and creative prospective as the marketing director for our regional account firm. She was instrumental in improving our proposal process, look and feel along with greater visibility and recognition of our firm in the community.

Ericka is very professional, and has an excellent knowledge of managing events and tradeshows. She is able to find effective solutions at short notice and work with a large group of people to ensure success. Works well across time zones, and has a can-do attitude.
