I wanted help getting my FB biz page set up in tip-top shape and also needed support with getting my freebie out to the world on the tech end. Janice was efficient and generous with her knowledge! She got the job done plus helped me understand how things are set up so I feel empowered to be able to tweak things as my business expands.

Janice helped me fix all the mistakes I made setting up Acuity Scheduling and made the whole program work so much better. She is a skilled and very patient coach. She taught me, a tech-challenged person, how to better utilize the program. She is very organized and took me through a complex process in a very systematic, easy-to-follow way. Thank you, Janice! You are a technology Goddess.

Speaking Out". She took the little bit I gave her and created beautiful and compelling opt-in and Thank You pages, as well as tied all the tech pieces together. I would have spent hours and hours on this and wouldn't have been half as good.

As a bonus, she created what would be viewed on Social Medial when I post the link to my opt-in page on Facebook or other social media. I didn't even know you could do that.

I highly recommend Janice for the tech end of your business. If you're like me, this is not your zone of genius, but it most definitely is Janice's!

I have very little skill and get frustrated and overwhelmed with most technology easily. Janice has been the most patient, understanding person I could ask for. She is productive and gets tasks done quickly and efficiently. She keeps me on track and lets me know what details I need to deal with.

When you're in business you have to have a competent supportive team around you so that you can continue to grow, while staying focused on what you do best. Janice is an important member of my team.

I am so grateful for her expertise!

Janice is extremely knowledgeable on all the ins and outs of the software, so we had the utmost confidence that the end result would be exactly what we wanted. Janice saved us hours of time we would have had to dedicate to simply learning the software. She communicated at every step, spent time with our team to coach us on the program when the implementation was complete. Acuity Scheduling has made scheduling appointments with our team simple and straightforward. We look forward to working together on future projects."

Janice was amazing! She helped me get right to the key elements in Acuity that made it work perfectly for my varying appointment needs. The forms we built are providing excellent feedback and clarity for all my appointments. No hassle, fun, and easy. I highly recommend that if you want to streamline your flow for appointments, that you reach out to Janice to help you and your team get started. Believe me, you'll save a tone of time and money by getting Janice to set up everything perfectly the first time. Wishing you all the best in your business.

Janice came by a very very good referral and I knew that if she was good enough for a very successful business then she had a gift of setting up things on the web.
I had no idea where to begin. All I needed to do was describe the end result and Janice knew the steps to get me there so I could accomplish selling my services. She set it up from the leadpage all the way to the client paying and having the money go directly into my bank. I could have never done this without her. We had a video conference a couple times, she communicated exact steps of what she needed from me in emails and viola! The website she created for me not only looks modern, concise and professional, but I did not need to set up another landing page. She was right on with her quote for the job and she knew I was on a tight budget and she had the solutions to get me the results I needed.

I totally would utilize her business for my future needs, I plan to use her for my next marketing funnel and she educated me on how the exact process works. I am very very comfortable to highly recommend Janice for your business needs."

Testimonial from a VA Team Member
I've worked with Janice for over 4 years and she's a delight to work with. She works hard, is flexible and always has a can-do attitude.

She designs/creates web pages for our client and does beautiful work. As virtual staff, we often get work "thrown at us" and we try to make sense out of it and sometimes our job is to ask questions to make sure we fully understand the task. Janice does a great job at that. She always is on time or if she ever has to miss a deadline, she always lets our client know and it's for good reason. She'll work longer hours if she has to if our client has an immediate need that she didn't plan for.
She also manages the social media for our client and oversees a few people. Janice is very patient with other team member - she stays professional when she has to give corrective criticism to the member.

And I also admire her drive to keep growing her business - she attends professional seminars and is always looking for ways to improve her service to her clients.

I hired Janice Hurlburt from Bizy Biz Virtual Assistant to help me launch a wordpress web site. Janice takes care of all of that stuff for me so I am free to create and post content valuable to my audience. Janice is always meticulous in her research and offers me options. It’s just like she says…she takes care of the tasks I don’t want to do or have time for, so I can do the parts I enjoy without stressing. I am so happy I connected with Janice and BizyBizVA!
