Editor’s note: Some customers prefer not to be named, so we’ve purposefully removed their company name in this article. We’re their secret weapon :-)

What does this client’s business do?

The client understands the demands of the digital economy. Thus, they created an engagement automation platform to help businesses converse, follow up and even sell to online customers. With advanced automation technology, businesses that use their platform are not only able to respond to leads 24/7 but also nurture these leads for the best chance of a conversion. 


Who was hired and what was their role?

For the most seamless transactions with their clients, they needed a Virtual Assistant who’s skilled at administrative tasks and research projects, with strong English comprehension. Somewhere helped them hire Krez. 

As their new Virtual Assistant, she handles their support desk through tools like Zendesk and Planhat. 


What is the salary of the individual they hired?

Krez works full-time in the client’s time zone at $900 per month. 


What was the candidate’s background before being hired?

Krez has been working remotely since 2018 and has been doing email support, customer support, and sales in previous employments. And on top of that, she was also an online teacher for almost three years. This gave her the good English communication skills that the position required. Her recent client only had good words for Krez: innovative, trustworthy, and a team player.
