TOP WESTCHESTER COMPANIES BOAST OF HIGHLY QUALIFIED STAFF NEVER IN OFFICE- - In Fact, Most of the CEOs Have Yet to Meet Them!

BRONXVILLE, NEW YORK--Dana Sophia, President and CEO of DS Interactive, happily boasts of never meeting her clients face-to-face. In 1998, Ms. Sophia started a full-service consulting firm devoted to virtually helping Westchester business owners. From day one, her virtual" assistants handled time-consuming tasks so local businesses could concentrate on what really mattered--expanding their clientele.

Large companies with headquarters (or satellite offices) located in Westchester have already found DS Interactive to be an invaluable resource. But Sophias expectations of how businesses in Westchester would initially respond to her company were exceeded when a CEO of a major dotcom asked her staff to acquire seven tickets to a sold-out sports event for that evening. The CEO had investors coming in and wanted to pitch their company after the event." Immediately, Sophias assistants thumbed through several of their rolodexes, searching for the right contact. Within a few minutes, it was taken care of. And their latest mission was accomplished. Sophia notes that her Internet savvy and highly qualified assistants represent a broad cross-section of society, ranging from former senior-level advertising agency executives to a retired administrative law judge who assists the staff deal with the soaring interest for legal research. Their expertise is essential to the clients success.

By using the Internet and email with other modern communication tools, both large corporations and small start-ups in Westchester were able to pass along projects to DS Interactive without having to hire employees. Sophia explains, "Virtual Assistants (VAs) are the ideal solution for the new breed of 'wired' companies. Without requiring more office equipment or space, and without the hassles associated with hiring employees, Virtual Assistants offer expert support on an as-needed basis; billing only for time-on-task."

"Many of our clients pick up the phone in their car or at the airport and delegate work to our staff, knowing that the projects (which typically range from transcribing a business letter to translating an article into several foreign languages) will be completed professionally, on time, and at a reasonable fee," says Sophia. Her clients have their various administrative, marketing, and website design needs handled while the VAs are hundreds of miles away. The virtual assistants perform numerous tasks from a location other than the clients office allowing the clients to benefit from no employee taxes, computer training or OSHA issues.

Busy executives know that the staff of DS Interactive is at their disposal whether the task at-hand is a project with a two-week deadline or an investor presentation deck that needs to be done last minute. That fact makes us the best assistants you will never hire," says Sophia.
