What’s all the hype about
“DST solved my “Goldilocks” problem. The VAs I was finding weren’t specialized enough in the platforms or systems that keep my business running, nor were they able to provide the strategic thinking or project planning that I really needed as a solopreneur; yet hiring a project manager or high-level tech support was more horsepower than my small business needs (or can afford). DST finds the sweet by providing a blend of talent to accomplish both the day to day admin needs of the business, and a pop of specialized systems and project management support when I need it.”
Allison Davis, AED Consulting
