Virtual Assistants are a great resource to have as an eCommerce business owner trying to scale their business. With there only being 24 hours in a day, it's tremendously helpful to have some extra hands to help with the day-to-day, repetitive tasks that can prevent brand owners from being strategic.

Gilad Freimann, Founder and CEO of VAA Philippines shares with Link Up Listeners his tips and best practices for hiring VAs to help take items off their plate, allowing them to work ON their business instead of IN their business.

--

About our Guest! Gilad Freimann first began living and breathing Amazon in 2015. The rapid growth and success of his business required that he outsource certain daily operations to an assistant. Virtual Assistants Academy was born from Gilad's own difficult and frustrating search for the perfect virtual assistant in the Philippines. VAA, the world’s only company specializing in virtual assistant services specifically for Amazon sellers, was created in 2017. Since then, Gilad and his wife Hila have been providing highly skilled, screened, and trained virtual assistants from the Philippines to Amazon sellers worldwide. Today, VA Academy has approximately 100 virtual assistants working for them.

These VA’s are trained to do almost any job on Amazon Seller Central. Other VA's specialize in social media, Amazon PPC, graphic design and Arbitrage. In addition to running the VA Academy, Gilad lectures at various conferences, conveying his knowledge of how to work with Virtual Assistants thus maximizing the results in an efficient and enjoyable working relationship.
