My superstar guest this week is the founding director of Pro-Assist, Karina Follent. After embarking on her journey as a virtual assistant and finding that the market was peppered with talent and often hard to break into, she stumbled on her niche. Commencing work with a physiotherapist she discovered the lack of support available in the virtual space for allied health professionals. Thus, Pro-Assist was born. Pro-Assist is a VA service for allied health professionals. Pro-Assist is a team that enables business automation, development of a customer service model and business efficiency by taking on those nagging day-to-day tasks. Now 2 years into her business, Karina’s business has grown to a team and a very healthy client base. If you are a business owner looking to be more efficient in the administrative space and get back to focusing on your clients, you do not want to miss this conversation!
