Online business owners are getting frustrated with the level of quality of their virtual assistants and service providers. There's a lot of people saying that they know how to do marketing, but actually haven't had formal training or really understand the strategies or how to go above and beyond what an admin assistant can really do.   I am so excited about this episode. I have some of my business buddies to talk about their insight to hiring virtual assistants, marketing assistants, and what they're looking for. All three women are powerhouses and have worked with different types of virtual assistants. My guests are Brittany McBean, copywriter, launch strategist, and agency owner. Sunny Logsdon, a corporate marketer who now helps small business owners with their marketing strategy. And Ashleigh Chanél, a Facebook ads and marketing agency owner.   Tune in to hear my three guests discuss: What they're looking for when hiring a virtual assistant The importance of soft skills and why they matter How business owners can’t afford to hire the wrong person How your reputation and your business won’t survive if you can’t follow through Why they want a Unicorn Digital Marketing Assistant trained by me   This is so much more than just being an assistant. I know everyone who's listening to my podcast are the type of people who care about the quality of their work. I want to empower you to stand out in this space and own it. If you're the type of person who follows through, who communicates, you've got a huge leg up.   I need your feedback!
