How I leverage my amazing Filipino Startup Virtual Assistant
Welcome to the first post of **The $7 an Hour Entrepreneur**. I am so glad that you’re here to learn about how a virtual assistant (VA) can help you and your business. For context, I co-founded a startup company called TechLok Solutions and our primary product is LapLok.
I am a huge fan and user of virtual assistants (VAs). Currently, I have three VAs that work for me in different capacities and they have been some of my best employees. Let me tell you, I could not have gotten TechLok and LapLok to where they are today without them!
I’m using this weekly blog to share my experience of how I, as a startup founder and entrepreneur, have been able to successfully leverage VAs for TechLok and other businesses.
I’ll start with my VA Kristina. She has been on my team for over a year now and she’s phenomenal. I consider her an extension of myself and a high-level partner in the business.
She handles a variety of tasks including research, coordinating meetings, following up with leads, and administrative support. Having someone like Kristina allows me to focus on the tasks that actually move the needle for the company.
One of the things people always ask is, “How can you find someone that good for $7 an hour?” It’s about the cultural dynamic and the cost of living in the Philippines. $7 an hour is a very competitive and highly sought-after wage there.
You’re getting college-educated, hardworking, and loyal staff members who are excited to grow with your company. It truly is a win-win for both the entrepreneur and the assistant.
Stick around as I break down more of the specific tasks, the onboarding process, and the real ROI of virtual staffing. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed as a founder, this is for you.
Scale smarter, not harder.
