REQUEST VIP coordinates lifestyle concierge requests across personal schedules, reservations, travel links, gifting and household priorities, subject to an agreed scope. The service works best when authorised people, budgets, deadlines, preferred channels and exclusions are clear. A “24/7 lifestyle concierge” must never be implied unless continuous coverage and escalation are confirmed in writing.
Key Facts
- A personal coordinator can organise several providers, but each provider remains responsible under its own contract.
- Project work, ongoing support and genuine round-the-clock coverage are different engagement models.
- Client delegates, spending limits and approval thresholds should be recorded before requests are executed.
- Regulated legal, tax, investment, medical, immigration and security decisions stay with qualified professionals.
Personal Lifestyle Manager
A personal lifestyle manager should understand context without making unchecked assumptions. The opening brief can cover primary residences, regular destinations, family calendar, dietary and accessibility needs, travel preferences, anniversaries, preferred suppliers and communication rules. It should also record what the coordinator may approve independently and what always requires the client’s confirmation.
Continuity matters, but it does not prove that one individual is continuously available. A workable service design names the main contact, backup procedure, handover record and escalation route. If the client needs requests handled across time zones, ask which hours are actively staffed, which channel is monitored, what qualifies as urgent and when a response is expected.
Scope: Requests, Calendar and Research
The scope may include research and coordination for restaurant reservations, personal appointments, gifts and flowers, travel components, celebrations and household tasks where capabilities are confirmed. Each request needs a decision-ready answer: viable option, current availability, total known cost, deadline, cancellation and unresolved point.
Recurring work benefits from a forward calendar. Note school dates, renewals, maintenance visits, seasonal travel and important occasions early enough to compare options. The calendar should show owners and dependencies, but it should avoid retaining unnecessary personal data. REQUEST VIP’s actual research sources, supplier selection and quality checks remain business facts to verify.
Authority, Privacy and Supplier Control
Define who may instruct REQUEST VIP and how identity is checked for unusual or high-value requests. A delegate’s authority may cover research but not payment, or routine spending up to a limit. Changes to passenger names, property access, medical information or security details may require direct client approval even where a broader mandate exists.
Before engaging a supplier, review the legal contracting party, deliverable, price, commission or referral arrangement where relevant, deposit, cancellation, insurance and complaint route. “Vetted” should mean a documented check with a date, not a general impression.
Coverage, Fees and Engagement Terms
The agreement should distinguish included coordination from third-party costs and pass-through expenses. It should state billing currency, taxes, retainers or membership fees if any, request limits, procurement authority, cancellation, unused balances and termination. No price or retainer can be published until REQUEST VIP provides a dated, approved schedule.
Agree how open requests are reviewed when the brief changes. A weekly or monthly summary can list decisions due, supplier holds, approved spending and expired options. Reporting cadence is a workflow choice, not proof of continuous monitoring. Name who closes stale requests and how the client can correct the record.
For residence-heavy needs, use luxury home concierge. For administrative tasks around one person, personal assistance may be narrower. The wider private client concierge hub helps separate lifestyle work from specialist family-office, relocation and security briefs.
