On Monday's episode, Rob and I discussed how to effectively manage Filipino VAs and foster a long-lasting working relationship with them. Now that we've got that covered, we move on to the second part of Rob's problem: scaling his business.

This is a topic we are well-versed in for two reasons: we managed to double our revenue last year, and we are actively trying to replicate that growth this year. We've revamped our systems and put simpler processes in place to try and achieve that growth.

In this episode Rob and I talk about how he can do the same for his business. Some conversation points:

• Systems and processes he needs to put in place for himself and his team
• Product launch process put together by Jacqueline, our Director of eCommerce
• Why a "minimum viable product launch" is a bad idea
• Perfecting product photography
• Maximizing visuals for customers who don't read
• More efficient returns process
• Supplier agreements and warranty claims
• Other things to pay attention to when scaling
