Agencies

Hey Everyone,

I've been getting bombarded with VA agencies lately and took a call with one today. They are called The VA Group. I wonder if anyone has experiences they would like to share about hiring a VA and/or a VA agency?

I hear a lot of owners talk about this topic, but I know so often people fall into the trap of "they give me headaches, get rid of them" A.K.A. being too trigger happy.

My question is, what steps do you go through BEFORE deciding to fire a client? What conversations, tactics, or solutions do you have for ensuring everything is done to give that client a chance before firing them? Also, what does that timeline look like? See More
