Key Points in the Conversation with Brandon Uttley of Go For Launch:

Key Takeaways:

“I realized how important it is to actually find virtual assistants that are talented and smart we don’t even hire people with any experience. We’re looking for smart, coachable characters like good, strong moral character, work ethic, behavior, and enthusiasm for what it is we do because you can teach the rest”

“Every single business has departments, you’ve got marketing, sales, product delivery, inventory. And if you break any business down into the departments, there are always tasks that are processed driven that need to be done daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly to keep the engine of that business moving forward”
