AI marketing automation and a virtual assistant for your small business
A virtual assistant for small business owners, combined with AI marketing automation: automatic lead follow-ups, CRM workflows, inbox and calendar management, client communication and weekly reporting.
Most small businesses don’t lose leads to competitors. They lose them to slow follow-up, a forgotten email or a CRM nobody updated. Every one of those costs you money, and every one can be automated.
I combine AI marketing automation (instant lead follow-ups, reminders, CRM workflows and automatic reports) with hands-on virtual assistant support for your inbox, calendar, client communication and projects. Your processes get documented so they run the same way every time, and you get your week back.
Who it’s for: Busy founders, coaches and small teams in the US looking for a virtual assistant for small business tasks, or for marketing automation services that stop leads slipping through the cracks.
Tools I already use: Asana, ClickUp, Notion and Trello.
What’s included
- AI marketing automation: follow-up sequences, reminders and lead nurturing
- CRM setup and automated workflows
- Task and project management in your tools
- Calendar, inbox and client communication
- Online research and reporting
- Documented workflows and SOPs
- Weekly performance tracking and reporting
How I use AI for this
- AI marketing automation: lead follow-up emails and reminders that run on their own
- CRM workflows that tag, route and update leads automatically
- AI-assisted inbox triage, meeting notes and research
- Automated weekly performance reports
AI makes the work faster; I review and edit every result before it goes live.

Virtual Operations & AI Automation: common questions
What is AI marketing automation?
Using AI and automation tools to run repetitive marketing tasks for you: following up with new leads, sending reminders, updating your CRM, sorting inquiries and producing reports. You approve the messages; the system makes sure nothing is forgotten.
What can a virtual assistant do for a small business?
Manage your inbox and calendar, follow up with clients, update your CRM, track projects, research, prepare reports and document your processes, so you can focus on revenue.
AI or a virtual assistant: which do I need?
Usually both. Automation handles repetitive, rule-based tasks instantly; a person handles judgment, relationships and anything that needs a human touch. I set up the automation and run the rest.
Which tools do you work with?
Common CRMs, email and calendar tools, plus project tools like Asana, ClickUp, Notion and Trello. If you already use a tool, I’ll work inside it.
How much does it cost?
Virtual operations and automation support starts at $25 per hour, part-time or full-time. You get a written quote before anything starts.
Will you document my processes?
Yes. I write clear SOPs so your operations run consistently, even when you’re away.
Do you use AI, and will it sound generic?
I use AI to research faster, draft first versions and automate repetitive steps. Every result is then reviewed and edited by me so it sounds like your brand, is accurate and is ready to publish.
