The Simple Solution – Testimonials

Wow … this is easy to write! Katie's ability to, not just merely, get the task done, but exceed the expectations is unparalleled. She quickly learned the specific individual requirements of over 90 plus people and adapted so that she could provide a unique level of service to each person.† Regular tasks Katie simply took on, without a lot of guidance. I think trust is important factor in someone who is going to represent your company and she earned that quickly. Whether it was the confidentiality of the request or the fact that she was going to use someone’s car, Katie demonstrated that she could be trusted. Katie treated our employee’s money, like your own. Making smart, on the fly, decisions on options, color, flavors. I was also impressed by the fact that she was almost never phased by the request.

She took everything in stride, exhibited a fantastic level of professionalism and didn’t create a lot of “rules” or come across with an attitude of “this is beneath me.” Katie was innovative, creative, clever and yes, passionate, about providing us our concierge service.
The most important fact was that she freed up time for everyone at the company, not only allowing us more time to work, but also giving us more time with our families. Employees could drive straight home after work Ö or stay at home a little later in the morning knowing that their errands would be handled. It is incredibly comforting to know that The Simple Solution was always there to help. Katie managed to create a true partnership, not just with our company, but also with each individual person.I rambled a bit there..but hopefully you will find some good content there.  If you would like me to put together something a little more formal on letterhead, I would be MORE than willing to assist.

Katie came to work for us as our Concierge on a trial basis to see if our employees would utilize the service.  Little did we know that is would turn out to be one of the best benefits we could offer employees.   No request was ever too small, too large, too strange or beneath her.  We are a demanding group of professionals that expect things to be done at the drop of a hat.  Trust me when I say people ask for the most strange and impossible things in a very short time frame.  Katie never wavered in her professionalism on any request and somehow performed miracles and completed task request of her. She is well connected in the community and used her resources to assist us to make our life’s run a little smoother.

I was so excited to get my new remodeled kitchen organized, but where to start. I called Katie and she did her magic. In just a few hours my empty kitchen became usable once again. Katie cleaned cabinets and unpacked boxes. She asked good questions and had excellent suggestions on where to put things. Katie filled the empty cabinets quickly and orderly. My kitchen was transformed and I was able to cook a meal that night. Katie is
very professional and fun to work with. I would heartily recommend Katie for any organizational needs.

The services Katie provided were very beneficial.  I was amazed how much time I saved by having her run just a few errands for me.  She was always very prompt with my requests and always was able to provide recommendations when I inquired.  The Simple Solution helped in several occasions when I didn’t have enough time in my day to get everything done!  I highly recommend Katie for any need that you may have!

I can't thank you enough for the help that you've provided me with my home. It is such a relief to know that I have the help of someone whom I trust, someone who puts the same care into my house as I do. I had no anxiety leaving the delivery of my new washer and dryer in your capable hands, even though the dimensions of my home promised to make things less than easy. And on a night when I was particularly overwhelmed, but knew there was work to be done on my bathroom project, I was overjoyed to know that I could call on you to come and give me a much-needed break.

Thank you so much for your hard work. I would recommend you to anyone!

Katie’s service/business has been a HUGE help to me in my day to day life.  For working professionals, it can be hard (almost impossible) to do any sort of personal business or errands during the weekday, as most other businesses are only open 8-5 … the exact hours YOU are at work! I have had Katie change my oil in my car, bring it in to the shop, pick up medicine, birthday gifts, cards, and do other personal shopping for me that I could not get done myself when I most needed it.

Not only did her services help me breather easier in my personal life, but it allowed me to stay at work, stay focused and be a stronger more productive professional because I didn’t have to take personal appointments during the day in order to complete the errands and tasks demanded of my from my personal life.

There's nothing better than walking into a clean house after a weekend away. During certain times of the year it is so hectic and busy we just don't have time to keep up with everything. Katie did a great job helping us get back on track so we could relax a little bit.

Katie is great with my dog. I am confident and happy knowing that when I am out of town Katie will be looking after her. She does a great job of keeping the dog in line and giving her the attention and care she needs and deserves.

Katie has helped with cleaning inside the house and outside the house! The back yard was completely free of fallen leaves after she spent a few hours out here. It was such a relief to have it taken care of before the snow fell.

From a business perspective: Katie made a tremendous impact on our business.  Employees spend so much of their time away from home and their families.  Running errands was another daily chore most did not have time for.  Katie’s services allowed our employees more personal time and reduced employee stress.  In turn, this had an impact on the company’s bottom line.  Employee’s were able to be more focused at work and it allowed them to stay on site working. From a personal perspective: Katie is fantastic at what she does.  She is so knowledgeable when it comes to local business and the services they provide.  She is extremely detail oriented to make sure she gets exactly what you need.  I trusted Katie completely to run any personal errand.  This includes driving my car to filling personal medical prescriptions.  She is an absolute lifesaver!

I have worked with Katie professionally and personally. Katie is a GREAT Go-to Girl. She is very resourceful and eager to help out, by finding solutions very quickly! She is a dependable and committed individual.

Katie helped me on my wedding day and I couldn’t have asked for a better person to be there for me. She was supportive and willing to help in any way she could. She made my day perfect! I was able to relax, knowing that she had it all handled… What she does and how she does it – allows you to focus your energy on your priorities, whether that is work or your “big day”. She has a way of making stressful situations melt away, because she is “in it with you” – helping you solve them. Miss Katie P is a great partner to have to assist you in any way you find necessary.

I work at marketing architects as a café manager and assistant to the office manager.
Having Katie’s company around made my job easier and cut my running out of the office emergencies greatly. If I needed anything or had last minute changes or requests I could call Katie and she would take care of things asap. Keeping me in the office to attend to business. She also could handle those personal  emergency things that happen all the time from shoe lace problems to pet problems.
