Collaboration tool for virtual assistants
Last month I was raving about a collaboration tool I found called Assembla. Well…while Assembla is a really good tool, after using it for a couple of weeks, I determined it wasn’t right for me. I was going nuts from the number of alerts I was receiving and the information I entered seemed to be scattered and difficult for me to find.
Lesson learned - when using a new collaboration tool, test it out before adding your clients!
One of my associates, Victoria, who seems to know about all the coolest software going, steered me towards something for virtual assistants. It’s called Client Spot. And I’m in love. The information is organized very well and while it’s more expensive than Assembla (which is free) it’s going to reduce my stress. How valuable is that?
To all my VA friends, check it out. It’s quite wonderful.

Jamie,
One of the points that you made in your post that I like is the fact that a tool that works for you may not work for others. And to do a “test run” with the software or collaboration tool for yourself before adding your client information.
Also, yes, saving time is such a valuable commodity…we all need more time, right?
Thanks Jamie….nice post.
I will have to check out Client Spot–thanks for the tip.
Sincerely,
Teresa Morrow

Hi Teresa
Yes, I learned a valuable lesson about testing out the tool before inviting clients. We all need more time and less stress!
Good luck with Client Spot
