ALL THE STUFF
Betty’s got you
We know! You’re dying to find out how Betty can help get your stuff done. Here’s some inspiration to get you started…
Audio Transcription
You’ve just finished a three-hour (!) board meeting and you’re not looking forward to transcribing the audio file! But that’s not a problem for you – you know askBetty will transcribe the notes and send them out to the board to review.
Proofreading
Your social media posts for next week’s announcement are written but need some editing love. Call in askBetty, your secret weapon, to add some polish (and those pesky hashtags).
Reservations
Saturday is a special occasion. askBetty can make it even more special. Arrange a car service, make dinner reservations at the latest hot spot and have your favourite bottle of bubbles waiting when you and your companion arrive at the table.
Travel
An amazing seat sale to one of your fave destinations has popped up but you’re in back-to-back meetings and know they’ll sell out before you have a chance to book. Shoot askBetty a note with your travel dates and other details – she’ll source all of your travel options for you while you’re taking care of business.
Sourcing
This is the summer you want to get some renos done around the house and first on your list is painting the house. Betty can source competitive quotes and schedule the contractor, taking one thing off your gotta-get-done list.
Start getting sh*t done today!
