Team Jungle!

So, who makes up the Jungle Jim's team? Is it just Jungle Jim? Definitely not! We're growing everyday.  Today let's talk about Carolyn Berg.



Carolyn is a virtual assistant. People often ask me "is she a real person?" I am happy to answer that yes, the DNA results were conclusive, and virtual assistants are real.


So a virtual assistant (typically abbreviated to VA, also called a virtual office assistant) is an entrepreneur who provides professional administrative, technical, or creative (social) assistance to clients from a home office. Because virtual assistants are independent contractors rather than employees, clients are not responsible for any employee-related taxes, insurance or benefits. Clients also avoid the logistical problem of providing extra office space, equipment or supplies.4  Thanks, Wikipedia!


Carolyn and I have been working together since 2007. I was very reluctant to hand over the reins of customer relations, but Carolyn was the man, er, VA for the job. Carolyn does a terrific job with all of our awesome clients, and I am very appreciative of the work she does.  


Not that there haven't been benefits to Carolyn working with a New England entertainer as well.  She has learned the intricacies of the Massachusetts highway system, including the 5 different names for each.  She now knows if a New Englander asks if we can perform in a "pa-hk," they are not referring to hockey.  Lastly, she now knows not to accept clam chowdah as payment for events.  


If call our 1-888-33-JUNGLE number, Carolyn will be the one to get back to you. Email us and she responds. She maintains the carrier pigeon flock, and all other forms of communication.  


So I'm a big fan of Carolyn and her team, and I wanted to give them a public shout out. If you happen to know of a small business owner who needs some administrative help, her contact information is below, and feel free to use me as a reference. Carolyn rocks!!!
