Answer 1

To fulfill a need of your client before they even know that have a need. A good personal assistant has to take charge of the clients needs and not simply respond to inquiries one at a time.

- book the flight,

- request a flight upgrade is possible

- book the transportation to and from each airport

- book the hotel

- contact the hotel concierge for special requests

- make restaurant reservations

- print out map of the area

- print out an itinerary of the trip

- update the virtual calendar on the client's phone

- update the contact information in the client's phone

-and the list continues....
