What is a professional
organiser?
A professional organiser creates customised solutions
to assist people, businesses and organisations to improve their unique
situations according to their specific requirements. Professional organisers
help their clients to restore or create order, maximize time, space and
efficiency and guide them through any organisational or transitional process.
How does a professional organiser work?
All sorted!
Consulting will offer confidential, non-judgmental consulting and hands-on
assistance to help our clients and their businesses to get better organised. We
will work together but you are in control of the process. The advice offered by
all sorted! Consulting is given in good faith; the decision to accept our
guidance remains entirely with our clients.
Why should I hire an
organiser?
Sometimes we are so wrapped up in our ways of working
that we can’t see the wood from the trees. We are overwhelmed when work gets on
top of us and we can’t even begin to think how to change it. This is where an
organiser can help to:
- Clarify the situation
- Provide objective suggestions
- Design personalized systems and solutions
- Create manageable sized projects
- Supply an extra pair of hands
- Support clients to stay focused and motivated
- Enable the process to go smoothly and quickly
- Save precious time and money
- Empower clients to reach their goals
- Restore pride in one's work and workplace
Organisers are available for follow-up appointments to aid our clients in
maintaining and/or adjusting their newly created systems to make sure that they
continually meet their needs.
Do you have a standard system of organising that I have to
use?
No! Different people and different businesses need different
solutions. We conduct an in-depth assessment when starting to work with our
clients so we can determine together with them, what system and approach would
work best.
Will I have to buy expensive products?
All
sorted! Consulting is not selling any products nor are we bound to any
particular retailer. The number and type of purchases recommended by
us is very flexible and entirely depends on our client’s requirements. It might
only be some new filing labels but it might also be office furniture that works
for them and their job. However – we are creative and can certainly find a
solution that sits with your budget.
How are confidentiality and privacy
handled?
We are aware that as professional organisers we come into
contact with a lot of confidential and sensitive information. Confidentiality
and discretion are core values of our work. All information supplied will remain
completely confidential and client details will not be disclosed to third party
without consent of the client. We assure confidentiality and will sign a
confidentiality agreement upon request.
How long will it take to become
organised?
How long is a piece of string? The duration of the
organising process will entirely depend on our client’s needs. All appointments
will be made according to a mutually agreed schedule. Each appointment will be a
minimum of two (2) hours. For comprehensive projects we can choose to work
in longer blocks of time or multiple small sessions.
It is ultimately our
client's decision as to how much time and energy they wish to devote on any
given day to their project. By dedicating a particular time block, without any
outside interruptions, the transition to organisational success will happen
efficiently and in a timely fashion.
How do you charge for your
services?
Our fees are based on a competitive hourly rate. There
will be tremendous value and return for your investment when you have reached
your organisational goal.
At least forty-eight (48) hours notice for
cancellation of a scheduled appointment is required. Failure to keep any
appointment without prior notification or failure to cancel an appointment
within forty-eight (48) hours will result in a cancellation fee equal to two (2)
hours consulting time.
An invoice will be presented at the conclusion of each
session. Payment in full, either by cash or check, is required at that
time.
What are the benefits of becoming
organised?
Assuming responsibility for one's environment, making
better decisions regarding space, resources and time, and relieving the stress
and confusion that result from disorganisation are some of the benefits that our
client's receive. Additional benefits can include the ability to:
- Minimize stress
- Establish priorities
- Improve time management
- Improve performance and profits
- Reduce clutter and maximize space
- Enhance your workplace
- Create more leisure time
Who can benefit from your
services?
Virtually everyone who wants to improve their business by
becoming more organised and efficient. Our client base includes, (but is not
limited to), small to mid-size businesses and organisations in the public and
private sector as well as home based businesses. We are not limited to any
particular industry and our organising services are very flexible.
How will I stop getting in a mess again?
We will help our
clients by establishing systems which they find easy to maintain and which
should prevent them to revert back to disorganisation. If however they feel that
things are beginning to get out of control they can always contact us for a
follow up consultation.
