Why One-Size-Fits-All Business Solutions Fail
Every small business owner experiences it at one point or another: searching for a vendor to provide support services, but feeling like you’re not being seen beyond the sales pitch. When you’re already trying to juggle all the extra logistics that come with running your own business (web development, marketing and growth strategies, administrative management, etc) it’s frustrating to feel like your unique needs aren’t being taken into account. You need customized virtual assistant services and collaborative workflows that adapt to goals, budget, and pace.
At the same time, experiences like these have proven that customized, collaborative workflows are the key to helping small business owners achieve the results they need. It’s the philosophy we’ve built Moonwake Collaborative on (it’s in the name!), and it’s how we’ve supported amazing entrepreneurs, nonprofits, creators, and more. This gives our clients a transparent view of all processes and the chance to give feedback and fine-tune results, all while still being able to take work off their plate.
Curious about how we make it work? Let’s dive into some of the strategies and tools we use to create custom business solutions for our clients, as well as look at the benefits of tailored virtual assistant support.
Collaborative Strategies For Small Business Services
Moonwake Collaborative started as just Jen providing virtual assistance to small business owners, but soon expanded to a handpicked network of experts in copywriting, design, social media, SEO, and beyond. Through the collaborative work of our amazing team, we’ve become a one-stop-shop for small business support.
So, how do we make it all work? Let’s break it down.
Project Management:
We assign a project manager to each client to help manage timelines, keep communication flowing, and ensure a cohesive experience as we work on your project. They’ll keep you in the loop with weekly update emails, and help you strategize on your next steps.

Specialized Teams:
Sure, we offer a wide range of services – but the tailored support doesn’t stop there. Our team has specialized experience in a number of industries, so we pair clients with contractors who have a deep understanding of the specific support your business needs.

Review Processes:
To ensure that projects are being completed to your specifications, we implement a standardized review process that meets you where you’re at. Nothing gets posted, printed, or shared without your approval – so we make sure all materials are delivered for review as seamlessly as possible.
These standard operating procedures help our team provide specialized support, but we wouldn’t be able to achieve them without some helpful workflow tools. We’ll share a few of our favorites and why we love them below.
Collaborative Workflow Tools We Love
As a virtual assistant agency, tools for task management, communication, and collaborative work are crucial to supporting our clients. Here are some we use daily, and how they help us:
Almost all of our day-to-day internal communication is done via Slack. We love being able to organize channels by client and topic, as well as pinning reference files, holding meetings, and connecting with external clients for more hands-on projects.
Our favorite program for task management and project tracking, Asana allows our project managers to assign work and share specifications with execution teams. It helps us make sure our workflow is running smoothly, being completed in a timely manner before we submit it for client approval.
This platform allows us to build a collaborative workspace where we can connect with our clients and seamlessly work through
review processes. It functions as a client portal, and is helpful for storing important resources and data.
FAQs About Our Collaborative Solutions
Can my package include multiple services?
Yes! Many of our services can be purchased individually or together as part of a package. Package pricing allows you to benefit from multiple services throughout your contract.
Are you able to take one-time projects?
Yes! While most of our clients have contracts for ongoing support, we provide many services like web development and print design on a per-project basis.
How involved do I have to be?
We like to meet our clients where they’re at, but do prefer to be communicative. As long as we have access to all the information we need to get started + your approval on the final deliverables, we’re happy to take a project and run with it – but we also welcome feedback and edits throughout the entire process!
