Testimonials

“I highly recommend Suzie Poirier, my go-to choice for virtual assistant services. Suzie is efficient, thorough and highly professional. She also stays current in the latest technology; every time I work with her, I pick up several new time-saving tips to benefit my business.” J.V. Miller Partner/Founder
“Susan has provided virtual assistance to my business for a number of years. Initially the work was ad-hoc, however I soon began to delegate more of the routine work and Susan became an integral part of running important functions in our business. Susan is hard-working, diligent and honest. Susan has done everything from researching trade-mark law, market research, document and presentation preparation to managing an overflowing in-box. I highly recommend Susan (Ace).” M. Field Pres/CEO
“I personally and highly recommend Susan Kummins-Poirier and her company Ace Concierge. As a result of her tireless and professional efforts, we have grown our Social Media coverage and our web presence dramatically. Suzie is very professional, attentive to detail, intelligent and resourceful. She took the time to study our company and our industry and in the process has become an indispensible part of our team. Through her efforts we have been asked to be part of a national TV show on wood fired cooking, we have given several interviews on wood fired cooking to internet radio stations, and her efforts have brought on several new dealers. On a personal side, Suzie, with her cheery disposition, is always a delight to talk with, but professionally and socially. She is very timely in her responses and in our opinion is a top ranked Virtual Assistant who would be a great addition to any company or team.” - Jeffrey H. Pres/CEO
“Hiring Suzie to take care of my admin tasks is one of the smartest business decisions I've ever made! She is very responsive to my needs, in a professional, confidential manner. She is always ready to help me with whatever needs doing, with a can-do attitude. She saves me thousands of dollars by doing the work I have no business doing. I recommend Suzie and her work without reservation! She is fun, intelligent, efficient and a joy to work with.” - Charrise M. CEO/Business Coach
“Susan's the best. I shy from absolutes, especially in recommendations. But in this case it is absolutely true that she's the best. She's attentive, detail-oriented, relentless until she delivers the best results for you, clear, always striving to find a better solution for you, well-connected as everyone seems to know her and she has a great sense of humor which is so valuable in these stressful times of constant change. Susan's the best.” - Zane S. CEO
“As a business owner, my time and energy are valuable. I could spend time sending out client contracts, confirming appointments, doing mailings, automating newsletters, sending invoices or doing marketing research. As a business coach, I encourage entrepreneurs and business owners to outsource as much as possible so they can do what they do best, serve their clients and close business. Outsourcing to Ace Concierge has allowed me to grow my business by 36% this past year and the trusting, dependable professional service is a small investment in comparison to the return. Thank you Susan for your continued professionalism.” - Debora M., President- Nashua NH
“Ace Concierge made the impossible possible. My boss requested that I arrange for a bottle of champagne to be delivered to one of the partners of the firm I work for in Washington, DC. It wouldn’t have been a difficult task except he wanted this done on a Saturday and this particular partner happens to live in New Hampshire, where it is prohibited to ship alcohol. Luckily, I found Sue. She picked up the bottle of champagne within an hour of my call and had it successfully delivered before I was even out of bed on Saturday morning! Thanks, Sue— you were a lifesaver.” - Amy C, Washington, D.C.
“We have been using Susan for the last few years as our primary virtual assistant. She has done an outstanding job for us. Quick to follow up and very thorough. We are quite pleased with her work. S. Buser, MD Founder/Pres.
“I hired Suzie as a virtual assistant but over the last few months helping with my social media presence and my blog, she's become a friend. She is extremely organized, very capable, creative and helpful. She brings great skill and a wonderful attitude to everything she does. She created some processes for the way things worked with guest bloggers that streamlined and simplified the way our multi-author blog operated. I highly recommend Suzie and Ace Concierge! You can trust her to do what she says on time, with quality, energy, and a passion for excellence!” M. Henry. Sr. Pres/CEO
"If you're a solo-preneur and think it's best to do everything yourself, think again. And talk to my VA @AceConcierge. She rocks my world!" ~C.M.
"Rarely have I met, much less hired, a more organized, efficient, and thoughtful professional than Susan. She goes the extra mile, exceeds expectations on every assignment, and demonstrates time and again that her ideas and creative strategies are inspired as much on her own time as on her client's time. I would strongy commend Susan's expertise and vibrant personality to any Senior Manager or Top Executive choking on family vs. work responsibilities." - Alan B., President/CEO - Durham NH
"An amazing human being, an incredible friend, and it all started when she became my VA. The business would not be as far along as it is without her!" Patti B - President/CEO
Suzie has done work for me and I've been very happy with her service, responsiveness and sense of humor. If you need help, don't miss the opportunity to work with Suzie. D.E.
Suzie's energizing, creative personality and razor-sharp, organizational focus drive ROI for your company. She proved to me that 2 heads and sets of hands are better than one in helping me create sustainable marketing, prospecting, sales and scheduling systems. As Steve Urquhart articulated well, her 'on-demand' offerings relieve the pressure of daily delegating. I know that if next week a new project or marketing need arises, I can reach out to Suzie, and she'll alleviate the work load as a true partner to business, while also offering unexpected value adds along the way. For service, quality and enthusiasm, call or write Suzie! JBP
I've been working with Suzie for almost 2 years now and I couldn't have built my brand without her! She's been there to help with everything from posting blog posts and Twitter feeds to getting my doctor's appointments arranged while I've been going through both cancer treatment and business start-up. She's awesome! LJL
I am pleased to be the first one to post a review for Suzie and Ace Concierge services (on Facebook) ... even if you don't think you need a virtual assistant or you aren't sure what you could delegate, you need to give Ace Concierge a look. You will be amazed by the level of service and quality of work! And with value pricing that lets you set up support services in blocks of hours, you will have the ability to delegate on demand and get outstanding work on time and above expectations. Be prepared to be thrilled! S.U.

Services

We hear time and again the struggles of small business owners and hard working family members alike, as they face obstacles reflective of our face-paced society.  The echoes are repeated in coffee shops,  at networking events and among friends…

“We don’t have enough time to do everything we need to do.”
“Handling the social media keeps me from closing with clients.”
“At the end of an 16-19 hour day, I don’t have time to run my own errands.”
“All I want is a little life-balance, I can’t work all the time.”

With all the technology and tools at hand to “make our lives easier” the world has grown more complicated than ever.  It’s not enough to go to work and do your job anymore, you must be connected, be engaged and WOW your clients with the kind of customer service they won’t get anywhere else.  To top it off, your family needs more of you than ever, it seems there is just not enough time!

The stress and frustration isn’t verbal alone, it shows up in mis-spelled reports, poorly produced presentations and typos not caught.  It shows up at the doctor’s office when he says, “Eat better, lose 10 lbs and reduce stress.”  Clothes are forgotten at the dry-cleaners for months at a time and folks drop at night trying to remember exactly who they are and what life is supposed to be about in the first place.

And then they discover ACE Concierge!

Virtual Assistant, Personal Assistant, Executive Services – We’ve got a solution to your stress, and if we don’t, we’ll work hard to find someone who does.

Virtual Assistant

When you love what you do, you want to do more of it!

That’s right, you are an Executive who worked hard, paid your dues and now you are sitting in the seat of responsibility.  With responsibility comes an increased need to manage your time effectively.  You cannot spin hours of your time formatting documents, writing business letters, building forms and editing or proof reading the marketing material.

Your decision making, client relationships and management of the company’s fiscal responsibilities takes precedence.  Hiring someone full time is just not in the books yet. 

The thing is, outsourcing to ACE Concierge gives you the flexibility you need to keep the company momentum going.  You don’t need us full time, but you sure need a few hours a week to off-load the tasks that are sucking your time right out of your day and keeping you from the very important client connections you need to make.

Personal Concierge

Life and time are precious and to be fully lived and utilized to the benefit of YOU.

If you are in North Carolina and are so buried you can’t see your way out, then consider the freedom you’ll feel from having someone run your errands and take over a few tasks.

Finding time to apply attention to the details can be a struggle, especially these days when so many of those details involve navigating through online sites, keeping one’s appointments in order or getting those travel arrangements made. Ace Concierge offers a Personal Concierge service to help you fit it all into your very busy day. If you don’t see something on the list below, call us and see if we can help you out.

Our services encompass a wide range of solutions to help support our clients in their business and personal activities.  It is not merely WHAT we do for you in terms of tasks and projects, but it is more about what you will achieve by outsourcing your To Do list to Ace Concierge.

 “The reward of a thing well done is to have done it.”–Ralph Waldo Emerson

Emerson was a smart man, he knew success is about the execution of a great idea.  Ideas are a dime a dozen, and smart entrepreneurs have tons of them.  What makes an idea valuable is acting upon it and executing that idea so that they solve a significant problem for their clients.  It’s pretty hard to accomplish that if they are spending their time trying to become experts in PowerPoint!  Leave that to us, because what is we do is…

  • Save you time, and time is money.
  • Use our expertise to make you look great.
  • Relieve you of your stressful frustration with tedious tasks.
  • Support you in your business and life.
Growing a business accelerates with a virtual team instead of an over burdened roster. (4 @AceConcierge).
