Signing that first virtual assistant client is the biggest hurdle to jump over in your service-based business. Once you do, your confidence will soar, you’ll gain experience and it will be so much easier to sign more clients.

But how do you stand out from the sea of applicants all competing for the same virtual position?

Today’s conversation will provide valuable insight into the hiring process and how to make sure you move on to the next phase.

Email Marketer Allea Grummert, owner of Duett, recently hired several contractors for her growing email marketing agency and reached out to me with her insights. She was shocked at how many people didn’t follow through with directions. She wondered if she was doing something wrong especially when it came to her test simple project and what the freelancer culture was really like.

After messaging each other, we decided that every single virtual assistant, marketing assistant, and service provider needs to hear this conversation.

Here’s what to do … and what not to do. 

Also, take note of how she upleveled one of her own and what this virtual assistant did to get promoted.

The Brothers Ortiz

The Brothers Ortiz

The Brothers Ortiz is the story of two brothers–both successful, but in very different ways. Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship. But when Larry is murdered during a home invasion in a rented beach house, Gabe has no choice but to look into what happened that night. To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
