The Challenge: Improving Operational Efficiency While Maintaining Service Quality
Rafael Salazar, owner of South Florida-based restoration company EnviroPro USA, was at a breaking point. His schedule was constantly bogged down by calls from insurance carriers and backlogged paperwork, all while fielding evolving customer needs. Add on juggling schedule management, client communication, and business development, and it’s easy to see why Salazar was working long hours with little time to focus on growing his business — let alone enjoying any work-life balance.
Maintaining exceptional customer service remained a top priority for EnviroPro. But this was also becoming a struggle for Salazar’s stretched-thin team. Inefficient manual processes and clunky workflows were impeding their ability to deliver high-quality service in the field.
Feeling overwhelmed at his relentless to-do list and recognizing EnviroPro wasn’t reaching its full potential, Salazar made a change.
The Solution: Streamlining Operations With a WorkBetterNow Virtual Executive Assistant
Salazar partnered with WorkBetterNow to tap into our talent pool of skilled nearshore virtual executive assistants. After a brief consultation to express his needs and one streamlined round of hand-picked candidate interviews, Salazar found his solution in Christina, his new virtual executive assistant:
She does everything that used to stop me from doing the things I should be doing — being on the street and seeing my clients, making sure everything's running correctly, and obviously building new business. One of my best decisions was to bring Christina on board.

In her executive assistant role, Christina quickly integrated into EnviroPro’s operations, streamlining administrative tasks like:
- Fielding calls and processing paperwork
- Improving communication times with clients
- Expediting proposal delivery
- Clearing backlogged paperwork
Additionally, Christina supported two project managers in offloading administrative tasks so they could spend more time in the field providing the hands-on customer service EnviroPro’s clients expect.
She handles everything from calls and scheduling to social media and even graphic design.
