This interview was submitted by Trish Johnson
What is your name and the name of your company (or business or enterprise or organisation) and what does your company do?
My name is Trish Johnson and the name of my company is Corporate Secrets-AdminPro.
I am a Consultant – Administrative Services
I offer consulting services to firms on a short and long-term basis evaluating opportunities for development of Administrative teams. My services provide your Admin teams with a positive, proactive approach to their respective roles, and creates a cohesive team atmosphere. I also instruct the teams on efficient time management techniques and computer applications, and provide them with avenues that lead to viable business development opportunities for the firm overall.
What got you started?
With over 25 years in business in various roles and industries, I am an entrepreneur that is endeavouring to get my consulting business going following a layoff.
What is your inspiration?
Layoff and entrepreneurial spirit.
Success and making a difference in peoples lives.
What is your target market? Who are your ideal customers?
Local Vancouver firms where I can work on-site versus ‘virtually’ or off-site.
What makes your offering unique?
My proactive approach and experience, business development and competitive intelligence skill sets.
Why should people do business with you?
Because I can add value for their firms overall.
Do you have anything to offer anyone that is not directly within your industry or directly seeking your services?
Yes definitely, there are a myriad of services that I could provide outside of my goals with AdminPro’s – my site applies to ‘any’ business really. However, my ‘expertise’ over the years is in the EA field. If an individual needed assistance I am sure I could provide it or help them in some way.
Is there any discount that you could offer to anyone who contacts you as a result of this blog post?
Yes, I have an ad on Google that my ‘first’ client is FREE of charge for downtown Vancouver – this also applies to any ‘virtual’ client. Naturally, this does not mean I would take on a 1 week assignment for FREE – I am referring to a 1-2 day project that I would complete for free to support the ‘value’ I would bring to the organization and get a reference from that firm.
Any further words?
I have worked in various industries, including Personnel Consulting, Real Estate, Financial Services firms (Big 4), and Retail. I have also operated my own Word Processing business in Calgary, Alberta. I have a strong background supported by a proactive approach to everything I take on. I am a ‘results oriented’ individual, and drive myself to get a job done well, and before deadline. I am very interested in Research, Marketing, Business Development, HR and of course, Writing. I am also known as an excellent ‘resource’ for locating client specific information and revenue producing opportunities for my firm. I have usually been the ‘go-to’ person in this area, as well as computer troubleshooting and program instruction on various platforms. I am a computer geek, and type approximately 120wpm.

Why a directory of business blog posts?
Posted by Admin in Advice for Small Businesses, Great Sites on October 25, 2009
If you’re anything like us, then you may like reading business blog posts. There is so much information to glean from others who have invested so much time into their blogging endeavours. There are also far too many for Great Sites to read through all by ourselves. So we have created this directory for you to use to easily find a relevant blog post, or, if you are a business blogger, to add your blog post on easily yourself.
This directory is available at our main website: http://www.greatsitesctk.co.uk/intro/business+blogs.html
To help other users, there is a rating feature where you may rate existing posts.
There are lots of possible uses that you could use this for – as a blog author, or as a reader. If you are an author of business blog posts, why not analyse the directory to see which topics are most popular for posting? Then you could create your own contribution on the article or you could offer a radical counter-viewpoint.
Further, you now no longer need to submit your post into the black-hole that is cyberspace, but now you can submit it onto this directory where it can be found in a systematic manner by someone who is looking for what you are offering.
As a reader, find new and interesting perspectives within different categories. You could quickly compare viewpoints within the same issues, and use rss feeds to keep up to date with the latest postings on your chosen categories (coming soon). All these ideas and many, many more are possible – why not suggest a few to us?! Please contribute your ideas as to how we could improve this directory. ( One idea that we plan to implement within the next few months is a review of the top rated blog posts on the directory….coming soon!)
Business Blog Post directory now live
Posted by Admin in Advice for Small Businesses, Great Sites on October 24, 2009
Our directory of business blog posts is now live and available at our main site at http://www.greatsitesctk.co.uk/intro/business-blogs.html.
This directory is free to submit to and free to read. We hope to create a directory where different blog authors can submit their posts, and know that their posts can be found by whoever wants to read them, or whoever is interested in those particular categories.
So fellow blog authors we urge you, please submit your posts today.
There is also a rating feature where posts can be given total rating out of 5 stars. Each post can also be reviewed by readers, so each reader can explain what they liked or learned from your post.
As with blogging generally, the key to getting a higher profile is simply to post more articles. So if you’ve already got a library of blog articles, why not start posting today? Share your distinctive voice with our readers, and win more loyalty for your blog.
Any thoughts or ideas on this? We are always keen to hear how we could extend our ideas – please let us know. This directory would be for you, so please let us know how we could make it more useful for you.
