Research on the Virtual Assistant Industry

I'm a management consultant turned entrepreneur looking for long-term virtual support. The first (of potentially many) projects I need completed is for in depth research on the competitors in the Virtual Assistant industry. This entails going through 30-40 (or more) competitor websites and populating an excel with information such as:

1) The location of their VAs
2) Their pricing model
3) Details on what services they offer
4) Anything else you think is important

The second component of this project involves contacting every possible person on each company's testimonial page, with an e-mail requesting more information. I will prepare the email in advance for you, and provide you with an e-mail address to use with my company domain.

If you're interested, and things go well, I will likely need 80-100 hours a month of support, for several months, doing a wide range of administrative and research oriented tasks. As such, you must be tech savvy (well versed in excel, outlook, powerpoint) and a strong communicator. If you do not understand something, please always ask.

About me: I'm a kind, but VERY direct manager. I'm quick to reward those who produce outstanding work, but first and foremost am looking for intelligent and dedicated people, who can not only complete the tasks I ask, but will also think outside of the box and go above and beyond. I have extensive professional experience managing offshore teams in a high pressure consulting environment, and am happy to mentor those I work with and who are committed to my business.
