Growing Expert Virtual Executive Assistants

We champion the transformative journey of our apprentice virtual assistants (VAs) into unparalleled experts in anticipatory service. This journey is not just about enhancing their abilities; it’s about revolutionising Virtual Executive Assistants and customer experience. Our expert team, a whānau with a shared vision, employs a blend of mentoring, cutting-edge technology, and Kiwi ingenuity to achieve this.

The Beginning: Selecting the Right Seeds

Our journey begins with selection, where we look beyond technical prowess to find those with the spark of empathy, curiosity, and a readiness to learn. This is crucial because the essence of anticipatory service lies not just in reacting but in foreseeing and acting proactively to meet customer needs.

Training: Cultivating Skills with Manaakitanga

Once aboard, our apprentice undergoes a comprehensive induction designed to equip them with a deep understanding of Pūmau business and how we operate. What sets our program apart is the infusion of manaakitanga and a deep respect for the individuality of our apprentice. We blend professional knowledge with creativity, making learning both effective and enjoyable.

Mentorship: Growing Under the Wings of Experience

Our expert team, with years of collective wisdom, takes a hands-on approach in mentoring our apprentice. Through regular hui and real-world tasks, they share insights on not just 'what' to do but 'why' it’s done, fostering a mindset of anticipatory service. This mentorship phase is vital, allowing apprentices to shadow experts and engage in meaningful projects, ensuring they understand the nuances of enhancing customer experiences.

Technology: Harnessing Tools for Innovation

Innovation is at the heart of Pūmau. We leverage the latest technology, not just as tools but as integral components of our VAs' growth. Apprentices learn to harness these technologies to streamline operations, all while maintaining the human touch that distinguishes our service.

Feedback and Evolution: The Path to Expertise

Feedback is a cornerstone of our development process. Our apprentices learn in a culture where constructive feedback is valued, enabling them to refine their skills continually. This iterative process, supported by real-world interaction and customer feedback, propels them from apprentices to experts, fully adept at delivering anticipatory service that delights and exceeds customer expectations.

Conclusion: The Pūmau Difference

By fostering a learning environment that values empathy, innovation, and proactivity, we not only grow our apprentices into experts but also enhance the overall customer experience. This approach cements our reputation as a leader in anticipatory service.

At Pūmau, we’re not just building virtual executive assistants; we’re crafting the future of anticipatory customer service.
