Client Service

Whether I’m working on my own as a freelancer or for a company as Director of Client Services, my focus is always on the client. Obviously, the well-being of my business or company is important, but the best way to ensure continued success of any business that provides a service is to focus on the clients’ needs. […]

Fun with Apps

One of my clients is AppAppeal. I love writing for them because I get to try a variety of interesting apps and then review them for the website. Usually, this is really intriguing and fun and I find a ton of new apps to use. There are apps for group funding, online microvolunteering, and even time […]

A Very Flattering Recommendation

The Perils of Time Management

 When I was Director of Client Services, I never had to worry about time management. I logged on and BAM, there was my work. Troubleshooting, meeting planning, team building, client calls, project management… I worked about 65 – 70 hours per week. Returning to freelancing means I make my own schedule. The key word in […]
