Why Hire a Filipino Virtual Assistant? – Practical Advice

When I started outsourcing, I didn’t know anything about outsourcing. Like many business owners, the first thing I did was hire a VA through an agency. 

It was the owner of backcountry.com who steered me into outsourcing to the Philippines. When I asked why, he answered, “When people in the Philippines say ‘yes’, it means ‘yes, I understand what you’re saying’.”

The year was 2005. This was when I first hired my first Filipino VA, and I haven’t looked back since. I have found amazing people who work hard, who are loyal, and honest. Thousands of business owners have found success in hiring Filipino VAs.

Why Filipinos? I’ll tell you why:

  • “Yes” means “I understand.”
  • Filipinos are honest.
  • Loyalty is a big deal.
  • They want to make you happy and are hardworking.
  • Foreigners are looked up to.
  • Sexism is not an issue.

 

I encourage you to watch the video above as I go into detail each reason. 

This practical advice is just one of many we have in our blog. Head on to our outsourcing education page to catch the whole series. 

If you’d rather check out reviews from entrepreneurs who already made the jump and have VAs of their own, here’s a list of reviews on Onlinejobs.ph.

I also have a new book that I am giving away for free, The Outsourcing Lever. It’s about how I have done outsourcing over the years. Get more information here.
