"Ruth Martin is an essential part of my business success. Her attention to detail and careful observance of deadlines and turnaround times keeps me on my toes. Ruth is just the gal to keep your business running like a well-oiled machine!"

"Ruth has been exactly what the doctor ordered for my growing Internet marketing consulting business. I had a to-do list a mile long when I contacted Ruth, and much of the to-dos were NOT your basic admin. From helping me craft my SOP manual to handling prospective client inquiries to researching more effective ways to manage the daily minutiae, Ruth has handled it all and then some with panache. After having Ruth on board for just one month, I'm already running more efficiently because I can better focus on my priorities as a busy professional (and mother of two small children!).
Because of Ruth's keen eye for detail and spirited initiative taking, I am more accountable to the efficient, profitable operation of my business. This is more than virtual assistance. This is a virtual makeover for my practice! Hire Ruth. It's an investment in your success. Period."

“As an independent resume writer I found that I was often spending more of my time managing administrative and marketing functions than I was providing a direct service to my clients. Not only was this frustrating, put it was cutting into my potential revenue. I toyed with the idea of getting a virtual assistant for some time, but never made the move. Then one day I receive a postcard from Maplewood Virtual Assistance marketing their services. I was impressed with the professional design of the postcard but even more impressed with the proactive marketing approach. I gave Ruth a call and I am glad I did.
Ruth is extremely organized and meticulous about the quality of her work. She has a firm grasp of the various computer applications that can streamline operations and is more than willing to share this knowledge. She provides the pros and cons of choosing each option and is able to guide me toward making the best choice for my business. Ruth also has a firm grasp on branding and marketing – which is a crucial component of my business.
I am extremely impressed with how available Ruth is. Although she is 'virtual' I often feel like she is in an office next to mine! I am confident that with Ruth’s help and professional guidance, I will not only be better organized but will have more time to do the things I do best- helping clients market themselves and better manage their careers!”

“Ruth is a true professional and a pleasure to work with. Her work is highly accurate and timely and she readily grasps the task to be performed. In a recent project, her attention to detail caught some easily-overlooked but very significant mistakes, and she was instrumental in fixing them. If you want a partner for your business that you can count on to do the job better than you can do it yourself, you need to look no further than Ruth.

"I have known Ruth for some time now through my VA membership site and have hired her to do some marketing work for my network. After working together just a short time, I realized what a valuable asset Ruth is to my business helping it to run smoothly without worry online. Ruth is one of the most organized and thoughtful people I have met. Not only are her work assignments done on time but she also goes that extra mile and gives you, the client, a full rundown on what was done, the how and why it was done, and also kicks in her thoughts on what also could be done. Ruth Martin would be of value to any business looking for a proactive virtual assistant to aid in their business success."
