I know how easy it is to feel like you’re constantly chasing your to-do list – managing the day-to-day of your business while trying to find time for everything else.
I’ve been in those shoes and learned the hard way that doing it all can lead to burnout. My passion is to help women entrepreneurs break free from that cycle.
By putting smart systems in place, you’ll have the structure and support you need to focus on growing your business while still having time for yourself and your family
— Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
How much is it?
An Online Business Manager (OBM) is your strategic partner in business growth and efficiency. I oversee your business operations, from implementing streamlined systems and processes to managing your team and projects. My goal is to optimise your business’s performance, allowing you to focus on strategic growth and development.
An Online Business Manager (OBM) can provide valuable support for your business in several key ways:
Streamlining Operations: An OBM implements efficient systems and processes that simplify your daily operations. This includes setting up automation, organizing workflows, and ensuring that every part of your business runs smoothly, reducing bottlenecks and saving you time.
Project Management: OBMs take charge of planning, executing, and managing projects from start to finish. Whether it’s launching a new product, coordinating a marketing campaign, or overseeing a client onboarding process, an OBM ensures that projects are delivered on time and within scope.
Team Management: An OBM helps you build and manage a high-performing team. They oversee hiring, training, and day-to-day management, making sure each team member is aligned with your goals and performs at their best. This allows you to focus on higher-level strategic work while maintaining a motivated and cohesive team.
Focus on Growth: By taking over the operational aspects of your business, an OBM frees up your time to focus on scaling and growing your business. This includes activities like building new client relationships, developing new products or services, and planning for long-term success.
Financial Oversight: OBMs often assist with budget management, cash flow analysis, and revenue tracking. They provide insights into where your resources are going and how to allocate them efficiently, which is crucial for maintaining profitability as your business grows.
Strategic Planning: An OBM acts as a strategic partner, helping you identify growth opportunities and areas for improvement. They work with you to set clear goals and create actionable plans to achieve them, providing the support you need to keep moving forward.
Overall, an OBM is like having a right-hand person who handles the details and day-to-day operations, allowing you to focus on what you do best: leading your business toward greater success.
If you’re overwhelmed with managing the daily operations of your business or struggling to keep up with its growing demands, an OBM could be just what you need. An OBM helps take on the operational burden, giving you more time to focus on strategic growth and bigger-picture goals.
A retainer is a monthly payment agreement between you and your OBM. With me, retainers are paid upfront monthly to ensure my full commitment to your needs and respect for our agreement. Retainers offer you peace of mind and allow me to dedicate the right amount of time and energy to each client.
Absolutely! Your relationship with your OBM should be flexible. I prioritize integrity and open communication in my work. If a particular retainer isn’t meeting your business needs, we can adjust it at any time with 30 days’ notice, as outlined in the contract.
Yes, you can end the working relationship at any time. While an OBM isn’t an employee, our collaboration is based on agreed terms or an open-ended contract. You can terminate the agreement, following the notice period specified in the contract, which is currently 30 days.
I handle project management by setting clear goals, creating timelines, and using software to keep everything organized. This way, tasks stay on track, and projects are completed smoothly and on time.
Yes, I do, depending on the time zone. Even though I am based in Denmark (Central European Time), I’m flexible and can adjust my schedule to ensure smooth communication and collaboration across different time zones. My goal is to make sure you feel supported, no matter where you are in the world.
If you’re spending over 20 hours a month managing the daily operations of your business or you’re comfortably earning a 6-figure income but feel stuck and unable to grow further, an OBM might be just what you need.
Perhaps you’ve realized that your current efforts won’t be enough to scale, or you have new ideas that you simply don’t have time to implement because you’re too busy managing everything.
If you have a clear vision for your business, established processes, and an understanding of where your business stands in terms of project management, operations, metrics, and team tasks, but you feel like you’re reaching a breaking point, it might be time for outside support.
The desire to delegate and let go of some responsibilities is key.
But only you can decide if now is the right time to take that step. If you’re truly ready to let go and grow, an OBM could be the key to unlocking your business’s next phase.
In my case, no. I am a business owner, just like you. I handle my own business expenses and responsibilities and provide a contract for our collaboration. If you find yourself using terms like “working for me” or “CV,” it might be a sign that you’re looking for an employee or contractor, rather than a collaborative partner.
A team is not necessary at the start. However, you should be prepared to hire team members (whether they are full-time employees or subcontractors) as your business grows and the need arises. Being ready, willing, and able to expand your team will ensure we can scale effectively together.
An OBM focuses on overseeing the entire team, ensuring that everyone completes their tasks and projects run smoothly from start to finish. Unlike a VA, who handles specific, task-based work like administrative and routine duties, an OBM takes a more strategic role. They think “big picture” and manage all the details, staying one step ahead to keep projects on track. Because of their in-depth involvement, OBMs typically work with fewer clients, offering more personalized and exclusive service to both the business owner and the business’s clients.
In a well-rounded team, the OBM works alongside the CEO and VAs. While the VA handles day-to-day tasks, the OBM focuses on strategy, project management, and improving operations, making them crucial to your business’s growth and scalability.
A system is a combination of policies, people, tools, and software that work together to coordinate the activities of a business. It’s what keeps everything running smoothly and efficiently. A Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) is a document that outlines detailed, step-by-step instructions for completing a specific task or process within the business. SOPs ensure consistency and help team members understand exactly how to perform their duties.
Simply put, operations management is about overseeing the processes and resources a business uses to create its products or deliver its services. It involves ensuring everything runs smoothly, efficiently, and in a way that meets the business’s goals.
Absolutely! An OBM can take on the entire process of finding, interviewing, hiring, and managing team members, even handling terminations if necessary. Beyond hiring, an OBM helps build a business that relies on effective processes rather than individual people. This ensures that your operations continue to run smoothly, even as team members come and go.
My goal is to build strong, lasting partnerships with my clients. If we discover that we’re not the right fit, I’ll be happy to recommend an OBM who might be better suited to your business needs. It’s important to me that you find the support that aligns best with your vision and goals.
We’ll decide on the best method that works for both of us, whether that’s through email, voice messaging apps like Voxer or WhatsApp, or regular check-ins. I also use tools like project management software and video conferencing to stay connected and ensure that everyone is on the same page.
I’ll ensure we stay aligned by confirming your requests and sharing my planned approach when needed. This way, you’ll always have a clear understanding of the task and the steps I’ll take to complete it.
Monthly retainers start at 1,500 euros, depending on the scope of work. I also offer a business-intensive package for 699 euros. Additionally, social media management packages will be available as soon as I complete my social media manager certification.
Getting started is simple! First, book a consultation call where we’ll discuss your needs and how I can support your business. If we’re a good fit, I’ll send over a detailed proposal outlining the scope of work, terms, and pricing. Once you’re ready to move forward, you’ll review and sign the contract, and make the initial payment. After that, we’ll kick off our collaboration and start working towards your goals!
Yes, you will need to share certain login information and passwords with your OBM, but rest assured, there are secure, virtual tools available to handle this safely. Data protection laws are in place to safeguard your information. Additionally, I will need some details about you and your business to ensure we can work together professionally and create a valid contract.
