Young Professionals: Here’s How a Personal Assistant Can Simplify Your Busy Life

Dec 19, 2016 | News

Pepper's Proven Process
Our process

We know you need help yesterday. That’s exactly why we built a process that gets you support fast, matches you with the right person, and stays by your side through the whole relationship.

Finding a great personal assistant shouldn’t feel like a second job. Managing one shouldn’t either. At Pepper’s, we’ve spent years refining a process that takes the work off your plate from the very first conversation and keeps it there.

90
minutes or less of your time across 3 short meetings. That’s all we need between your first call and your personal assistant getting started in your home. We handle everything in between.

Here’s what the process looks like

A lot happens behind the scenes. Your part is simple.

Discovery call

We know exactly what questions to ask to quickly figure out if we’re a mutual fit, and we’re ready to answer any questions you have.

Service agreement and getting started fee

Simple and transparent. You know exactly what you’re signing up for before anything begins.

Deep dive call

This is where we really get to know you. Your preferences, your household, your communication style, the rhythms of your daily life. The more we understand, the better we match.

Full recruitment on your behalf

We post the job, review every application, conduct multiple rounds of interviews, and complete thorough background and reference checks. You don’t lift a finger.

Meet your Jumpstarter in your home

We understand you need help yesterday. So while your permanent personal assistant is being recruited, we send a Jumpstarter, an experienced Pepper’s team member, into your home right away. Real support starts immediately, no waiting required.

Your personal assistant is hired and trained the Pepper’s Way

Once selected, your personal assistant is trained in our systems, standards, and service philosophy. They’re prepared before they ever walk through your door.

Meet your personal assistant for onboarding

Your Jumpstarter spends the first week training alongside your new personal assistant in your home, passing along everything they’ve learned about how you live and what you need. Your household guide is already filled out with your preferences, your routines, your systems. You don’t have to brief anyone or repeat yourself. We’ve got it handled.

Ongoing check-ins and your Perfect Fit Guarantee

We check in regularly to make sure your expectations are being met as your life evolves. And if something isn’t working, we make it right. Our Perfect Fit Guarantee means that if your personal assistant isn’t the right fit or your needs change, we will seamlessly replace them at no additional cost.

Ongoing employee management, support, and training

Your personal assistant has a manager and it’s not you. We handle performance conversations, raise discussions, and professional development. And when your personal assistant takes time off, our team of trained substitutes means you’re never left without coverage.

We built Pepper’s so that getting great help doesn’t require more of your time and energy. It gives it back.

Relief is just a click away.

Book a quick call

We live in a high-demand and fast-paced world. Thanks to interconnectivity and mobile access, young professionals are able to achieve more than ever before. However, there is also a trade-off: more is expected from them, and more must be monitored and remembered on a daily basis. To be successful, young professionals sometimes must work longer hours and be available to their customers, clients, and employers on evenings, over the weekends, and even on holidays. Developing your professional career is rewarding, but it can often leave little time for the demands of daily life that aren’t directly related to your job. Life keeps demanding more, even outside of work. Here’s how a personal assistant can simplify your life.

Tedious Phone Calls and Service Visits

Taking care of basic life tasks can be surprisingly time-consuming. For example, when you need to call your cable or internet provider to change your plan, contest a charge, or schedule an upgrade or installment, you could spend thirty minutes or more on hold or navigating an automated phone system… and if a service visit is necessary, then you may need to be home during a valuable business day.

Paying Bills

Paying bills, particularly those that don’t accept online payment, can also be time-consuming. Sometimes it can seem like the farther you climb up the career ladder, the more effort and time life demands from you. Your personal needs all too often take a back seat to your work, household, and daily task management demands.

Your personal assistant: Convenient as a mobile app, but with a personal touch

We put the “personal” in personal assistant.

Mobile apps may rule the service world — and admittedly, they do offer extreme convenience. After all, when you need a meal but have no time to cook, you can log onto a food delivery service app and have the exact meal you want prepared and delivered to you. If you have somewhere to go but either don’t have your vehicle or can’t currently drive, you can launch Uber or Lyft and have a ride pick you up from any location in a few minutes.

But why not enjoy a similar level of convenience without compromising quality human relationships and superior customer service? Working with Pepper’s Personal Assistants allows you to enjoy the best of both worlds. Don’t entrust a stranger with your important personal duties. Instead of one-off tasks, an ongoing partnership with your assistant offers long-term reliability to help you automate your daily life while maintaining a personal touch. The value of maintaining a set weekly schedule is that our personal assistants often know what needs to be done even before their clients do. When you don’t need to worry about making detailed daily lists, you save yourself even more time and headspace.
