The Problem

Administrative tasks were limiting business growth.

SHRM Hawaii Executive Director Karen Smith tells her story: "I manage nonprofit organizations, so I take them in as contract jobs. I’m in charge of every task related to the organization’s management.

A lot of times, I would rather not take a contract if it implies time-consuming work or if it limits how many clients I can take.

Whenever I run nonprofit organizations, I take care of their membership, websites, fundraising, and programming, and I also run their board and arrange their meetings. This work involves a lot of small tasks and special requests."

The Goal

Offload admin tasks to allow for more clients, more revenue, and more kindness

Our Solution

"I belong to an association, so I have counterparts in every state. My counterpart in California was having good success with Prialto, and she introduced me to them. I brought Prialto in to help me with time consuming tasks.

They’re very good at following up and reminding me of things. Although I heavily invest in technology solutions, sometimes there’s no replacement for human work. For example, if a client wants me to take phone calls, which I can’t do because I have meetings all day, my assistant takes those calls.

Additionally, I usually implement technology to gather information, but some clients want me to collect the data personally to provide a special touch. In those cases, Prialto helps me gather that information. I’ve found it invaluable that I can throw anything to an assistant and not have to worry about it.

Prialto’s process is very smart. They don’t just hire someone and take care of their payroll; they have teams, support, and constant training. There were a lot of virtual assistants out there, but Prialto offered a better approach. "

Results

"Thanks to Prialto’s services, I’ve been able to take in new clients, and I’ve made more money from those clients than what I’ve invested.

I appreciate Prialto’s structure and the education they give to their employees. The thing that I appreciate the most is their kindness. There’s not a lot of kindness in the world. They’ve worked around things for me, and they’ve shown up when they didn’t have to.

Overall, Prialto is a great partner. "
