Frequently Asked Questions

Realistic answers for External Communications Managers and PR leaders delegating daily operations.

Every SageDoer Virtual Assistant and Project Manager signs rigorous Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs). We adhere strictly to zero-trust security procedures: password delegation via secure vaults (1Password, Bitwarden) so master credentials are never viewed raw, encrypted communications, and strict embargo discipline. Material non-public information (MNPI), pre-launch assets, and proprietary media lists remain 100% confidential.
Yes. Our comms virtual assistants are pre-trained in navigating mainstream PR databases and analytics software. They can independently build media contact lists in Muck Rack or Cision, tag and export coverage in CoverageBook, set up listening streams in Meltwater or Brandwatch, and manage publication schedules inside your CMS or PR newsroom portal.
Yes, 100%. You pay strictly for the actual working hours logged by your Communications Virtual Assistant ($6/hr for full-time or $7/hr for part-time). The dedicated Project Manager's daily quality checks, onboarding guidance, and operational oversight are provided completely complimentary with 0% platform markups.
Your VA operates under your defined PR escalation protocol: monitoring the press inbox during designated business windows, categorizing incoming reporter queries by deadline and outlet tier, alerting you instantly via Slack or WhatsApp for tier-one requests, and immediately pulling relevant approved messaging assets or executive bio sheets.
Yes. External communications is cyclical around major corporate milestones (funding rounds, quarterly earnings, product keynotes, and annual trade expos). You can start on Part-Time (20 hrs/week), scale up to Full-Time (40 hrs/week) during peak launch cycles, or deploy additional media monitoring specialists through your dedicated Project Manager with zero lock-in contracts.
