The Value of Hiring High-Quality Virtual Assistants with Tricia Sciortino - a podcast by Eric Siu & Neil Patel

In this episode, we speak to Tricia Sciortino, CEO of BELAY, about the immense value that a high-quality virtual assistant can bring to your business. BELAY is a virtual staffing solutions company providing virtual bookkeeping, administrative assistance, social media strategy, and web support services for organizations. We kick off the discussion on the subject of the difficulty of finding good VAs and how BELAY has solved that pain-point by hiring VAs from within the US region exclusively. Tricia gets into the top-tier quality of service that her VAs provide and the price that clients can expect to pay for their unique skillsets. We talk about the range of exclusive services BELAY VAs offer in the region of virtual marketing and Tricia weighs in on exactly which types of clients will derive the most value from them. Tricia then shares a few tidbits about her book, Rise Up&Lead Well, and the argument for the value of VAs she makes in it. Wrapping up, we hear about the best business books and tools out there from Tricia’s perspective, and the main channels she is using to market her company currently. Tune in to hear about how just one top-tier VA can turn your business around today!
