012: Red Flags Your Virtual Assistant Wants You To Know About Your Podcast with Tanika J. Lothery
“When systems are not in place or system gaps exist, the natural thing that is created is overwhelm, stress, and worry.” - Tanika J. Lothery
In this episode of BOSS™ Talk I am speaking with Tanika J Lothery and we are focusing on producing a podcast from the point of view of a Virtual Assistant also known as a ‘VA’ in the marketplace. Tanika is the founder and CEO of Virtually Yours, TJL, an agency that provides professional administrative, technical and creative assistance to clients in a remote way and she’s also my amazing assistant.
In the previous episode, I walked you through how I personally leverage systems to automate and reclaim my time as a podcaster and shared with you the exact process that me and my team use to invite and on-board guests to the show. So this week I wanted to share the insightful point of view from one of my actual team members!
Customer service is of the utmost importance to Tanika and is a foundational pillar of her business, so I was interested to hear how she balances supporting show hosts, identifying system gaps and communicating those opportunities for improvement.
Remember, vision is not a solo gig and Tanika plays a huge role in bringing the vision of BOSS™ Talk to fruition! Enjoy the episode.
