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."

Effective Admin VIP] product because I wanted to update my skills and try to

"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!'"
