The Full Story
Specialized Schedulers was a pioneer and has been an industry leader in virtual assistance since 1999. After spending six years working with several financial brokerage firms, founder Ashley Etheredge quickly recognized the need to provide a comprehensive virtual sales assistant platform for busy sales professionals offering dedicated assistance that is deeply rooted in trust, value, and integrity.
Our vision is simple. We strive to give businesses unique personalized virtual assistance with an intimate touch by creating dedicated long-lasting relationships with both our clients and your clients as opposed to adopting an impersonal "call center" approach. Our company values lie in honesty, transparency, and accountability. Working as a part of your team we nurture relationships, close sales, and maximize employee productivity and revenue.
Ashley Etheredge
Founder/President
Ashley Etheredge has been working in the financial services industry since 1993. Prior to starting Specialized Schedulers, Ashley spent six years with Solomon Smith Barney and AG Edwards & Sons. During her entire time at these organizations, her focus was on assisting and maximizing revenues for client-facing business professionals. Early in her career, her interaction with wholesalers, portfolio managers, and financial advisors helped her recognize a true need for a comprehensive virtual assistant business model that would allow busy sales and business professionals to focus on their clients and business goals rather than the remedial daily tasks that distract from developing and growing mutually beneficial client relationships.
