PRODUCT  TESTIMONIALS

Many of the self-study publications included in the VAAP electronic membership packet were once sold separately in a packet of information called "An Effective Admin VIP" subscription membership materials at a website for The Effective Admin (the producer of this specialized material for admins and founder and operator of VAAP). In the boxes below are some testimonials from administrative professionals testifying to the quality of content provided in The Effective Admin Tips Series, its Special Reports, and in The Effective Admin newsletter issues (which are now included in your newsletter archive collection). In fact, all of the materials these administrative professionals refer to are learning resources included in your VAAP electronic membership packet of materials.

"I Felt I Needed a Little Refresher Course in Some Things"

 

"I have been in the law profession as a paralegal for many years. As my job has changed and now an executive assistant, I felt I needed a little refresher course in some things that I have not done in years. (e.g. The Guide on Taking Minutes was a great help.)

 

I have not got a chance to go through all of the guides as of yet; but I have read the newsletters and I find them very helpful with answering questions that I have been asking myself or others that may or may not have the answer. The guides and newsletters on effective meetings are a great tool because in my previous job I was not required to have or go to any meetings. I initiate monthly Team Quality Meetings, Travel Meetings and Weekly HR meetings."

"I Want to be the Best Executive Admin Assistant That I can be"

 

"[I purchased this VIP product because] I want to be the best executive admin assistant that I can be. I especially found the internet research links recommended useful, as well as how to log internet research, etc.

 

Moreover, I like the goal setting information as well. I definitely have learned extra tips throughout the entire course of information that was provided, and think that this is a great help for any executive assistant looking for ideas on ways to enhance and improve their role within an organization.

 

Additionally, I like the suggestions provided with the email management section; the part about ... is a great tip that I immediately started to incorporate and think that it really helps when there is such a high volume of emails transmitted throughout the day."

"I Love the Fact, After 33 Years, I am Still Learning New and More Efficient Avenues to do my Work. Your Product is Awesome!"

 

"As an admin of 33 years, I have to say this is a tool anyone can use. There are plenty of topics to increase your productivity, knowledge, organization and more. The quick tips are my favorites; I use most of them daily. I have passed on some of these verbally to the up and coming admins in our office. I love the fact, after 33 years, I am still learning new and more efficient avenues to do my work. Your product is awesome!

I had a few AH HA moments reading through your special reports. I've laughed until I snorted on some of the topics, due mostly because I've done it myself or wrong for so many years. I must say, you've got something here. Keep them coming.

"Finally, Someone Who Understands!"

 

"I purchased [The Effective Admin VIP product] because I was looking for an online, in-depth training seminar for seasoned administrative professionals where I could really enhance my skills and performance. The package looked like it was jammed packed with a lot of very useful information.

I love this kit and definitely got my money's worth! I really didn't know what to start with because there is so much in it that I want to dive into. After an ugly day at the office, I chose Special Report: Administrative Professionals Biggest Interruptions and Distractions at Work - And Solutions to Manage or Eliminate Them. As I started reading the materials, I felt a sigh of relief and thought, 'Finally, someone who understands!'"
