The discussion delves into the challenges of hiring, training, managing, and retaining virtual assistants (VAs). Matthew underscores the importance of being specific about job responsibilities and conducting a time study before hiring. He also discusses the impact of AI, noting that while it can handle low-level tasks, human touch is crucial for nuanced operations. Matthew advises promoting existing top agents to supervisory roles and emphasizes the value of clear documentation using tools like Asana, monday.com, and Loom. He highlights the benefits of hiring from Latin America, such as cultural alignment and time zone compatibility. Matthew stresses that while VAs may not perform exactly like business owners, they can significantly reduce operational burdens.
