How to Hire a Professional Organizer
After many years of unrealized New Year's resolutions and failed attempts to get organized on your own, you have decided to really make it happen by hiring a Professional Organizer. After all, people hire personal fitness trainers, life coaches, and image consultants to help them achieve their goals. Why not seek out an expert in getting—and staying—organized? You will be amazed how quickly your dreams of living and working in an orderly, clutter-free environment will become your new reality.
Finding and hiring a Professional Organizer is no different than choosing any other service professional. The "right choice" for you will be a Professional Organizer who has the expertise, skill set, and personality that best suit you and your goals. Consider the following issues before making the first call.
Why Get Organized?
The amount of information available to people continues to grow at a rapid pace, as do the number of demands on our time. Organized people save time and money, and reduce their stress and frustration levels. Organizing systems help you deal with everything from your paper to your professional responsibilitIes and give you parameters on what to keep, what to toss, and where to take action.
How long does it take to get organized?
Organization is a process, not a state achieved in one day. Think about it as “being organized” or “staying organized,” not “getting organized". Your Professional Organizer can help you set up an organizing system in a few days. After that, the challenge is to continuously maintain it and work on it one day at a time. The good news is, once you learn good systems, habits, and tools, change becomes easier, as does bouncing back from an unexpected detour or period of feeling overwhelmed.
What is the best way to get organized?
Experts in the organizing industry agree that there are no “cookie cutter” solutions for getting organized. There are many different personality types, work styles, and environmental influences, so each person must find the system that works best for him or her. The number of organization-related products and services is continually increasing. With the help of your Professional Organizer you can determine the areas in which you want to improve, such as filing, clutter control, time management, maximizing storage space, or juggling projects and priorities.
What fees should you expect to pay?
As with most professions, fees vary widely based on experience, geographic location, and competition. Many Professional Organizers charge by the hour, while others prefer value-based pricing and charge by the project. At Phone A Clone, we will give you a value-based Custom Bid for your approval. You will need to establish a budget and decide what feels most comfortable to you.
At Phone A Clone you can focus on value because you will work with an organizer who has a personality you click with and a skill set that matches your needs. Your Phone A Clone Professional Organizer will deliver the results you expect in the shortest amount of time
What questions should you ask?
One of the first questions you should ask is whether the organizer is a member of the National Association of Professional Organizers (NAPO). Of course, NAPO membership does not guarantee the quality of the Professional Organizer's work, but it does demonstrate a commitment to continuing education and an industry code of ethics. All of the Professional Organizers at Phone A Clone are members of the NAPO.
Your relationship with a professional organizer will be a very personal one. Your Phone A Clone Professional Organizer will ask a lot of questions about you, your work style, what you are looking for, and the issues you believe have thwarted your best attempts to get organized in the past. We want to get to know you, understand your objectives, and determine how to best achieve the goals you desire. It is in your best interest to be as candid and clear as possible about what you want to achieve, and we encourage you to do just that!
