Customer retention specialist with 7+ years reducing churn, restoring CRM accuracy, and building customer success systems for SaaS and e-commerce brands. Results from week one. Hi. I'm Cissy, and I need to tell you something most founders discover too late. Your customers aren't leaving because your product failed them. They're leaving because the experience between signup and their first real win has a gap nobody is owning. And every week that gap goes unfixed, it compounds, in lost monthly recurring revenue, in referrals that never happen, and in customers who cancel quietly and tell everyone why. I close that gap. Deliberately. Measurably. My career started at the Danish Refugee Council, one of the world's largest international NGOs, managing front office operations and stakeholder communication for 300+ staff across multiple time zones. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Human Resource Management, and have since built customer success and CRM systems for SaaS companies and e-commerce brands where client retention directly drives revenue. I don't just understand customer success theory. I've built the helpdesk workflows, onboarding systems, and churn prevention processes, inside real businesses, under real pressure, with results that show up in the numbers. If you're running a SaaS company, a subscription e-commerce brand, or a B2B service business, you've probably already seen the warning signs: ▸ Churn is climbing but nobody can isolate the root cause ▸ Your CRM holds data nobody trusts, duplicates, dead records, missing fields ▸ Customer onboarding is inconsistent, some clients thrive, others disappear before month three ▸ Your support team is reactive by default, not by design ▸ At-risk accounts go undetected until the cancellation email arrives That is not a staffing problem, it's a systems problem, and it is exactly what I specialize in fixing. I'm not a customer support specialist you manage; I'm a customer success operator you deploy, and I come with a complete system, not just availability. Most support specialists handle tickets reactively. I build the helpdesk management workflows and SLA-compliant escalation systems that eliminate unnecessary tickets before they exist, while proactively monitoring customer health scores and at-risk accounts before cancellation decisions are made. The difference shows up in three numbers: your churn rate, your CSAT score, and your net revenue retention. Those are the numbers I move. Deliberately. From week one. What my clients actually measure: ▸ 60–80% faster response times in week one ▸ 85%+ first-contact resolution (FCR) rate across email, chat, and phone support ▸ 100% CRM data accuracy — HubSpot, Zoho CRM, Freshdesk, Zendesk ▸ Churn reduced through structured onboarding that gets clients to their first win before day 30 ▸ At-risk accounts identified and recovered before cancellation decisions are made ▸ Weekly visibility reports; CSAT scores, FCR rates, ticket volume, churn indicators Tools I work in daily: Zendesk, Freshdesk, HubSpot CRM, Zoho CRM, Pipedrive, Intercom, Shopify, Gorgias, Click Up, Notion, Google Workspace, Slack, Calendly Who I work with: Founders and operators at growth-stage SaaS companies, e-commerce brands, and B2B service businesses who understand one thing clearly; customer retention is a revenue strategy, not a support function. If you're scaling past the point where you can personally own every client relationship and you need someone who can own that function completely, we should talk. Here's the lowest-risk way to start: Send me one message. Describe your current customer experience setup, what's working, what isn't, and where you feel most exposed. I'll respond within 24 hours with a specific, honest assessment of your biggest retention risk and exactly how I'd approach fixing it. No pitch. No template. Just a direct answer from someone who has seen this problem before and knows exactly how to close it. Most clients say that reply alone was worth the message.

Founders don't lose their businesses because of bad strategy. They lose momentum because the inbox is unmanageable, the calendar is chaotic, and the CRM is a mess nobody's touched in weeks. That's the exact problem I fix as an Executive Virtual Assistant. I'm an Executive Virtual Assistant specializing in inbox management, calendar and scheduling management, CRM organization, and administrative support for founders and startup CEOs who are scaling fast and need a reliable, detail-oriented right hand behind the scenes; not another person to manage. As an Executive Virtual Assistant I've helped busy founders go from inbox overwhelm to zero missed follow-ups, from scattered scheduling to a calendar that actually protects their focus time, and from a broken CRM to a clean pipeline where no lead slips through the cracks. If you're the right fit, here's what that looks like You're building something real. You're good at the vision, the product, the people; but the operational backend is eating your time. Important emails go unanswered. Follow-ups get missed. Your calendar has no structure. Your CRM hasn't been updated in weeks. You need someone reliable, organized, and proactive who can work independently in a fast-paced environment and be trusted completely. That's where I come in as an Executive Virtual Assistant. What I manage for you Inbox & Email Management - I take full ownership of your Gmail or Outlook inbox. Emails are filtered, prioritized, organized, and responded to so nothing important gets buried. Calendar & Scheduling Management - I coordinate meetings, protect your focus blocks, handle appointment scheduling, send reminders, and keep your day running the way you planned it. CRM Management & Lead Follow-Up - I keep your HubSpot, Zoho, or Notion CRM clean, updated, and working. Leads get tracked, follow-ups get sent, and opportunities don't fall through the cracks. Administrative & Operations Support - Data entry, document creation, file organization, travel planning, meeting prep, and any administrative task that keeps operations running cleanly and efficiently. Project & Task Coordination - I manage task boards, track deadlines, document SOPs, and keep your team aligned so projects move forward without you chasing every update. Tools I work with Google Workspace • Microsoft 365 (Excel, Word, Outlook) • HubSpot • Zoho CRM • Notion • ClickUp • Asana • Trello • Mondaycom • Zapier • Slack • Zoom • Canva • GoHighLevel • Claude • ChatGPT • Gemini What working with me looks like I'm proactive, not reactive. I flag problems before they reach you. I follow through without being reminded; no need to manage me. I communicate clearly and don't flood your inbox with updates you don't need. Within the first week, you'll notice your day feels different - calmer, more structured, more in your control. Most importantly, you'll stop spending your best hours on tasks that shouldn't need your attention at all. Ready to get your time back? If you're a founder looking for a reliable, detail-oriented Executive Virtual Assistant who can independently own your inbox, calendar, CRM, and day-to-day administrative operations, send me a message or invite me to your job. I'll respond within the hour.

What does a Calendar Management specialist do?

A Calendar Management specialist organizes complex schedules to keep time accurate and meetings on track. This role goes beyond simple data entry by managing the logistics that make appointments possible. The specialist coordinates rooms, equipment, and attendee availability so teams can focus on their work instead of scheduling conflicts. They maintain calendar integrity through precise updates and clear communication with all parties involved.

  • Schedule meetings by checking attendee availability and securing necessary resources such as conference rooms or video links. The specialist sends invitations with clear details and updates entries when times change to prevent double bookings.
  • Configure calendar delegation settings in platforms like Microsoft Outlook or Google Workspace to allow designated staff to manage requests. This setup ensures that specific team members can accept or decline invites on behalf of executives without sharing full account access.
  • Prepare meeting logistics by confirming room setups, technical equipment, and catering needs before the event starts. The specialist tracks these details to ensure every participant has the correct access codes and physical location information.
  • Administer organizational calendar policies by adjusting sharing controls and visibility settings for users within a company. This task involves setting permissions so that internal teams see appropriate free-busy status while keeping private events secure.
  • Maintain accurate records of scheduled events by updating calendar entries immediately after changes occur. The specialist verifies that all recurring meetings reflect current project timelines and removes outdated appointments to keep the schedule clean.

How to hire a Calendar Management specialist on Upwork

Step 1: Post a job

Define your scheduling needs clearly so candidates understand the volume and complexity of your calendar. Use the Job Post Generator powered by Uma™, Upwork's Mindful AI to draft a precise description in seconds. Describe your requirements in a few sentences, and Uma creates a tailored post for this role. You can write a new post, update a saved draft, or reuse an existing one.

  • Specify which platforms you use, such as Google Workspace or Microsoft 365, since specialists must know the specific delegation features and admin consoles for those tools.
  • List the expected weekly volume of meetings and whether the role includes coordinating physical resources like conference rooms or video equipment.
  • Clarify if the specialist needs to manage access for multiple executives or handle organizational-level calendar policies and sharing controls.

Step 2: Evaluate candidates

Look for proof that candidates maintain accurate free-busy status and handle complex logistics without errors. Uma runs instant video interviews and builds shortlists with side-by-side comparisons to help you spot these traits quickly.

  • Check for examples where they configured calendar delegation, allowing assistants or team members to accept requests on behalf of others.
  • Review their history of managing shared calendars to see if they resolved scheduling conflicts and kept availability data current for large teams.
  • Verify their experience with meeting preparation tasks, such as attaching agendas or securing necessary digital links and physical spaces before events start.

Step 3: Interview your top choices

Discuss how they prioritize conflicting requests and maintain schedule integrity under pressure. Schedule and conduct these interviews within Upwork Messages, which generates an immediate transcript and summary after each session.

  • Ask how they handle last-minute changes to ensure all participants receive updated invitations and room bookings reflect the new time.
  • Request specific examples of how they used scheduling assistants or automation tools to reduce manual back-and-forth when finding mutual availability.
  • Explore their method for verifying meeting details, such as checking time zones and equipment needs, to prevent logistical failures during critical calls.

Step 4: Agree on scope and begin work

Set clear deliverables for calendar updates and logistics coordination before launching the contract. Use Upwork Messages and the contract workroom for communication and project management, plus identity verification, payment protection, hourly tracking, and project funds for security.

  • Define milestones for initial setup tasks, such as auditing current calendar settings and configuring delegation permissions for key stakeholders.
  • Agree on a routine for daily or weekly reviews of upcoming schedules to catch conflicts and confirm resource availability in advance.
  • Establish metrics for accuracy, such as zero double-bookings and timely distribution of meeting materials, to measure ongoing performance.
