  • 178: How To Hire A Remote Team Member or Virtual Assistant Like A Pro with Expert Emily Reagan

    Should you hire a virtual assistant or remote employee/ independent contractor for your brick and mortar indoor playground or play cafe business?


    In a time where recruiting, hiring, and retaining quality employees is more difficult than ever, hiring a virtual assistant or contractor can bridge the gap between the tasks you need accomplished and the amount of help you're able to find for your in-person operation.


    Not only will you increase the talent pool you have access to, you can also save a TON of money and frustration when hiring virtual!  In this video I share my conversation with Emily Reagan.


    Emily Reagan is a jill-of-all-trades when it comes to digital marketing and techie skills.


    She’s worked as a behind-the-scenes digital marketing implementer working with many creatives and furniture painters: Jennifer Allwood, Tracey Bellion, Miss Mustard Seed, Wendy Batten, and more, to grow their online businesses. She’s the founder of the Unicorn Digital Marketing Assistant School, where she teaches women the digital marketing skills to get hired online as an in-demand, highly sought-after unicorn digital marketing assistant.


    In our chat, we discuss...

    ...Which business tasks you delegate to a VA or virtual assistant

    ...How to find, hire, and work with your perfect remote hire

    ...Mistakes most business owners make (including myself) in this process

    ...Red flags in remote team members to steer CLEAR of

    ...How to maximize your spend and time with your VA

    ...How to have your VA collaborate with your in-person employees

    Plus MUCH, much more.


    If staffing or hiring and managing a team is a pain point for your family entertainment center, indoor playground, or play cafe business right now- this is perfect for you!
