#626: Hiring A Virtual Assistant: What To Delegate & How To Manage With Tricia Sciortino


Listen Later

Every reason why finding a virtual assistant is one of the best hires you’ll make.

Want to know a secret? It's NEVER too early to hire a virtual assistant! In fact, you’ll be stunned by how much they can change and supercharge anything and everything for your business. Before hiring a VA, there were so many tasks that I needed help with, and now I only focus on building my brand, attracting my audience, and making more money.


Here's why I'm telling you this – by hiring a VA, you, the brilliant entrepreneur, get to focus on what you do best while delegating the rest to a committed assistant. Can you feel the weight lifting off your shoulders? 


And lucky for you, here to walk you through finding, hiring, and managing the perfect VA is Tricia Sciortino, the fabulous CEO at BELAY, one of the fastest-growing virtual staffing companies in the US. 


Personally, I found my current VA four years ago on BELAY, and it was the perfect resource for getting started. I was so nervous about hiring someone full-time and didn't know if I was ready. Plus, I didn't want to spend hours searching and vetting candidates online. Thankfully, BELAY took care of all of that for me! 


In the episode, Tricia tells you all about: 

  • 10:51: How a virtual assistant can take your business to the next level 
  • 15:03: The qualities to look for in a VA, and key questions to ask when hiring
  • 20:50: The ways a VA can help you in areas like social media, podcasting, and launching digital courses 
  • 26:14: Why VA’s will ignite creativity and ideation in your marketing processes
  • 29:40: Tips for effectively training your VA to execute tasks seamlessly 
  • 32:53: How a VA contributes to your scalability 

  • Listen in and remember to ask these questions in the interview process for your new VA: 

    - Your client has not delegated anything to you this week – what are you going to do?

    - What steps would you take to make this relationship successful? 

    - What strategic questions would you ask to serve your client best? 

    - What excites you about being a virtual assistant?
