How We Hired Our First Virtual Assistant for Freewyld

We officially hired our first team member for our Freewyld brand!

We’ve hired a Virtual Assistant (VA) named Mei who will help us start building our brand.

On this edition of STR Conversations, Eric and I share how we worked with a company called Virtual Staff Finder to hire our VA and the process they used to help us find the right Virtual Assistant for our Freewyld team.

We share the 3 most common questions students in Legend X have about hiring a VA, plus the biggest mistakes people make when hiring that can lead to hiring the wrong team member. Eric shares the plus-minus time tracking process he uses to determine which tasks to delegate, plus, I share my secret for accomplishing more tasks each day.

We discuss how to use a job scorecard to improve your job description and increase your chances of hiring the RIGHT person for the job.

Listen in for insight into how to find the perfect VA for your Airbnb hosting team, so you free yourself from the day-to-day tasks of managing your business and focus on building your business.
