22 yr old Filipino-American Bridges the gap between Virtual Assistants and Investors

Today Martine is joined by Andrea Stakes. Andrea is a young successful wholesaler who dropped out of dental school to pursue a real estate business.  

Andrea worked with and organized Martine’s staff and brought another virtual assistant to generate more leads to her team. 

Andrea got into virtual assistant training because of her past mistakes when starting her own real estate business and hiring her own virtual assistants. She realized you can’t buy your way to success. She failed her business and felt sorry for her virtual assistant so she passed her on to her friend. She continued training her virtual assistant and then more people came to her for the training and she realized it’s what she does best.

The process of hiring:

• Requirements (stable internet connections, valid IDs).
• Interview with her virtual assistants.
• Final interview with Andrea.
• Interview with Andrea’s clients.

The process of training:

• American culture.

• Cold call mindset.

• Understanding their role in the business.
• Accent training.

If you give your virtual assistants respect and consistent training your efforts will be reciprocated. 

Support groups – Having someone they can talk to when there’s an issue.

Keeping virtual assistants engaged – Make them feel empowered.

Highlights and opportunities – Make their failure an opportunity to grow.

If you’re an investor or a business owner and you want to grow, you need to have good people. 

Not everyone needs a virtual assistant. As a business owner you have to make sure you are ready. If you look up and find yourself working too hard in the business and feeling like you don't have any more hustle left to finish projects, it might be time for a virtual assistant.
