What it\u2019s really like working with a VA","description":"In this episode, we\u2019re talking about one of my favorite topics: outsourcing your admin work to a virtual assistant. I\u2019m interviewing Nicole, who is my virtual assistant. She's also the owner of Let Nicole Help, and she offers many other services but for me, she primarily helps with sales. She is my client-facing, invoice-sending admin genius who has freed me up from computer work so that I can focus on the part of my business that I really like, which is getting new business and doing installations. We are getting into the nitty gritty about how we met, how we started, the clunky figuring-it-out stage we went through and our recommendations of how you can onboard your own virtual assistant.  You\u2019ll also hear us talk through a process improvement we discovered we should make while recording!
