Tyrone: Hi everyone, itís Tyrone from Tyroneshum.com. Today Iíve got a special guest here on the
call with me. Youíve probably already seen previously Iíve interviewed Chris Ducker
before and I just wanted to get Chris on the line today because I want to share with you
something really, really exciting and something that Iíve used as a service as well, too.
So, I probably should introduce Chris first. How are you going Chris?
Chris: Very, very good. How about yourself?
Tyrone: Good, good buddy. Well the reason why I got Chris on the call today was Iíve
been talking to Chris quite a bit and just from personal experience, I believe that Chris
has one of the best places to find people to outsource virtual assistants and anything
that you need in terms in the Philippines because being over in the Philippines where
Chris is right now, is a huge, huge opportunity for him to be able to find good, quality stuff
for you. So I thought okay, Chrisís got a new service thatís come out called Virtual
Staff Finder and I thought why not get Chris on the line to share a little bit more information
about this service. A service that Iíve used already and I found exceptional and something
that I can highly, highly recommend. So Chris, maybe just share with us why you started this
service and also little bit more about how it works?
Chris: Okay, well ahhÖthe reason why I set this thing up more than anything else, had
to think of that for a minuteÖ
Tyrone: I think I realized that.
Chris: The reason why I set it up more than anything else is because as my own outsourcing
company Live2Sell Group has grown over the 5 years being in the business, our own sort
of business strategies have changed a little bit. We no longer work with very small companies
or entrepreneurs. We tend to sort of focus on partnering up with medium to large sized
companies nowadays. And thatís justÖyou know, thatís just a strategy thing. Itís
not because we donít like the little businesseses, or you know the moutain top places or things
like that. Fact to the matter is that you know, for every company as it grows, things
change, strategies change. We would know different. And, I mean as an entrepreneur myself, I reallyÖdid
miss. Iím talking about really for the last year or so. We havenít worked with any sort
of entrepreneurs or small companies. Iíve really been missing those one on one collaborations
and those conversations, you know brainstorming and mind mapping sessions and things like
that. And, it just became very, very evident to me from talking to people like yourself
who are obviously involved with the outsourcing industry online and also with the clients
coming through toÖto our website, the Live2Sell website that thereís a massive, massive gap
in the market for people who wanted to work with homebased virtual assistants but perhaps
maybe didnít want to spend the time and the effort, and the certain amount of money to
go through all the process of trying to find somebody. And then, have possibly the risk
in wasting a lot of time and money by choosing the wrong people. And, I think thereís a
lot of horror stories online by using all these job websites which Iím not going to
mention because I only get in trouble with them. But, the fact to the matter is that
thereís a lot of horror stories where you pay people and they disappear on you, all
those sorts of stuff. For me thatísÖitís just not fair for the entrepreneur. So, we
set it up to bridge that gap fundamentally, thatís the tagline of the services: to bridge
the outsourcing gap between working with a homebased virtual assistant and having the
backbone and the infrastructure in terms of the interviewing, and background checking,
and betting and testing that we have with Live2Sell Group that we use ourselves internally
when weíre hiring people for our company. We have over 220 people working for us now
so itís tried and tested, it really does work.
Tyrone: Awesome. Well, the thing is probably just to mention as well, Iíve worked with
quite a lot of students and members within Mass Outsource and also I still get a lot
of people inquiring through my blog as well and through the MassOutsource.com, ìTyrone,
I canít find anyone whoís suitable. Iíve been through the job websites that youíve
recommendedÖî and Iím not saying that those job websites are probably going to be the
best or not any good or anything like that but itís a struggle because sometimes, to
deal with them to find the right quality people does take time. So what Chris is able to do
with this service and the reason why I find some awesome service and it worked really,
really well is that it saves you time. It saves you huge amount of time having to go
out there and find it yourself, do the interview process, back and forth testing and so forth.
What Chris can do for you is really streamline that time and interview them for you, make
sure the processes are all correct in place and basically hand you through that silver
platter. And, you get basically the right candidate and saves you so much time having
to spend looking for them. And, Iíll give you an example because I have used his service
already. He was actually able toÖI actually contacted Chris and I said, ìLook Chris,
Iím struggling to find a good, quality programmer out there specifically for PHP. And, because
of that I just said look, Iíve been looking through so many different qualifications try
out this website, try that website and just couldnít find the right one. I said Chris
can you see for me, since youíre in the Philippines, anyone thatís local around your area to be
able to come and get interviewed and potentially be a candidate for my company.î So he went
out there within probably a couple of days, came back with an awesome response and since
then, I hired him. Heís been on my team forÖI donít know how long now but heís just been
an awesome, awesome programmer. So thank you, thank you to Chris that if I didnít actually
ask him, I wouldnít have him on board. So I can tell you, just from personal experience,
the service that Chris provides is just tremendous value because the kind of things that he can
do for you not only can he find good candidates but heíll also give you that personalized
service to find out exactly what you want and this is just a testimonial for Chrisís
service called the Virtual Staff Finder which I think in my opinion is probably one of the
best resources to help find virtual assistants and virtual staff all across from the Philippines.
So yeahÖ
Chris: I think itísÖIíd like to just add one thing as well. I think this will put a
lot in peopleís mind that these are as well, I actually now put together a team. When we
were working with you actually, itís just myself and my assistant thatís just working
with people locally to find, I believe it was Joseph right? Thatís the name of the
programmer weíve found you. And he actually is based here in Cebu and he came into the
office, Iíve met him very briefly and he chatted with a couple of staff and everything
but obviously not all the virtual assistants that we help entrepreneurs find and start
to work with are based here in Cebu. You know, a lot of them are in Manila and thatís hours
and airplane away. So what Iíve eventually done, Iíve set up a team three girls now,
that consistently work not only with the clients, the entrepreneurs hiring for the service but
also for the virtual assistants as well. And this is the very important part, we pre-programm
their mindset on the types of things like when they should get paid, how they should
get paid, how much they should get paid, the type of work that theyíll be doing for their
virtual bosses, how to work with their virtual bosses and things like that. Not only asÖI
donít actually do that myself. I have Filipinos in their local time, in their local dialect
when thereís noÖyou know thereís absolutely no barriers, you know what theyíre saying
is getting across to them perfectly, thereís no communication barriers or problems in any
way whatsoever. And so far, weíve placed about in work. We launched the service a week
ago and last week weíve had close to 20 people signed up for it and I think weíve already
placed about 7 or 8 virtual assistants and so far the response have just been phenomenal.
People were just like ìWow, they really know what theyíll be doing for me.î And that
is you know, of the back as well as number one, finding somebody then number two, finding
someone thatís actually going to know what you want me to do for you on a day to day
basis. And, part of the process for the entrepreneur or the virtual boss to actually put together
a very good quality job description as well so we can find the right candidate in that
place as well. Itís not just about pretty good job ad on a website, we want to know
exactly what your virtual staff member is going to be doing on a day to day basis so
that we can find absolute best candidate for that as well.
Tyrone: Absolutely and thatís the reason why I say it to a lot of people and I always
refer a lot of people back to you Chris because the fact is a lot of them just come back to
me and sayÖand say to meÖ
Chris: I should thank you for that. Youíre right. No, Iíve had a ton of sign ups for
you, a ton! And not just for Virtual Staff Finder but also for Live2Sell Group as well
a few full time you know, solution provider VAs as well. So thank you very, very much.
Tyrone: Youíre welcome anytime because if you can look after my clients, if it makes
them happy, it makes me happy too. SoÖbut in all that Iíve seen is that the thing that
is so important is finding the right quality candidate is not easy and I know that itís
hard because Iíve been through that myself and Iíve filtered through hundreds and hundreds
of candidates and sometimes you just get frustrated. Itís probably better to have somebody whoís
physically there and has a team back and behind you to actually go through that process which
in the end if you spend a whole week trying to find somebody and Chris does it in a couple
of hours for you, you can imagine the cost saving you can gain back from that. So I definitely
recommend, I highly, highly recommend checking out the Virtual Staff Finder. If you do want
to find out more about Chrisís service, just simply shoot him an email which Iíll put
a link right down below here and you can contact him anytime. Heís a friendly guy, so donít
be afraid of him. And if thereís any further questions that you want to ask me as well
just feel free to shoot it through. But I hope that you take this service on and have
a look at it and consider it if you are looking for a virtual staff right now because itís
an awesome service. Anything else you want to add Chris as well, too?
Chris: No. Not at all, except for the fact that youíre very kind gentleman for that
very nice testimonial, thank you very much.
Tyrone: Youíre welcome. You can use it anyway you want to. So yeah, if you guys want to
check it out, just simply click on the link thatís right below in this video as well,
too. And, Iím pretty sure that Chris will look after you straightaway too.
Chris: Sure I will. Your promise made, it was my pleasure.
Tyrone: Youíre welcome. Awesome. Well, thanks again for coming onto the call and sharing
with our audience and also I hope that for people whoíve seen this will benefit from
this as well and hope to see you soon as well. So weíll catch up as well after this.
