Why This Training

Here’s why hiring feels hard: You’re looking for the right skills when you should be finding the right fit. Building a strong virtual team is about qualities over qualifications. Because while things like Active Campaign or WordPress can be learned, the right chemistry needs to exist from the start. You want team members who align with your values, your standards for work, and your commitment to growth. You want team members who mesh with your business, your company culture, and your preferred work environment (yes, even when you run a virtual team).

While skills do matter, they’re also acquirable, teachable, and learnable. To find team members who will grow with your business and support you for years to come, prioritize qualities over qualifications. This training will show you how.

What is your hiring philosophy?

When it comes to hiring team, I take a “qualities over qualifications” mentality, which means I hire with intention based on fit first and skills second. While both are important, I’ve learned that the best teams are born with this philosophy in mind.

Is this only for entrepreneurs ready to hire now?

If you’re currently looking for a VA or OBM, this is essential. But even if you’re not currently in the market for a new team member, you’ll benefit from taking this training right now (rather than waiting until right before you’re ready to hire).

Instead of rushing to find a good fit – like, yesterday – having a great hiring process in place means you’ll know exactly how to fill a role whenever you have one. By knowing what you need, and how to find it, this training will set you up for hiring your first and tenth team member, whether you’re ready to do that now or in the future.
