Outsource Your Workforce
It's 2:00 pm and the client will be walking through the door in an hour. Your assistant just quit, and you have no clue of what to do. Well, we may need to look at the situation that caused your assistant to walk out of the door leaving you in such a bind, but that's a blog for another time. Call a Temp Agency. I suppose you could call a Temp agency, but then there is the matter of whether they have someone available, and whether they could be in your office on such short notice. The truth of the matter is I seriously doubt it. The Temp Agency would first have to check out your credentials, then they would have you complete all sorts of paperwork to qualify you, then they would probably try to lock you in some kind of long term contract. By the time all of that is complete, you have missed your appointment. Reschedule the Client Appointment. Rescheduling the appointment may be an option, but boy do you look unprofessional. Calling a client at the last minute to reschedule an appointment is very unprofessional. That client expects you to be well prepared with a solution to all of his problems, not calling him to tell him or her about yours. Begging the Assistant to Return. Whether you can beg the Assistant to stay until the end of the client appointment, may be an option, but it is highly unlikely. Depending on the circumstances that led up to the Assistant's departure, you may be left with two outcomes bad and worse. First, the Assistant who has already left mad enough to walk out on a job in this economy is not likely to just return to work. However, she may have thought it over and realized the rashness of her sudden departure and the necessity of her livelihood. Thus you may be able to talk her into returning, but if you do, it will definitely cost you in more ways than one. The Assistant will think he has the upper hand on you and the demands will start to roll, beginning with the increase in pay for just returning to work that day. It seems the only solution would be to contact Dial-A-Cheap-Assistant.
