Was Working 12 Hour Days
Kris Tuttle is the owner and CEO of IPO Candy, which provides information about companies going public. The core aspect of his business is providing information, analysis, and commentary for a professional audience of management teams, bankers, and investors.
Kris was working 12 hour days and even working on the weekend to accommodate the needs of his business. Because of the pandemic, Kris had to make some critical business decisions and was unexpectedly faced with a growing business and expanding needs.
He quickly realized he needed to find someone to take on the new and widening responsibilities as soon as possible.
Turning to the Experts For Help
Kris had to be smart with his limited time and wanted to ensure that hiring an assistant would be a success.
He turned to the experts and hired The Great Assistant Program to manage the hiring and onboarding process for him.
In Spring 2020, Kris was matched with Great Assistant, Kitty, who had several years of remote work experience and a sincere interest in the stock market (a huge bonus for Kris).
Now Able to Focus on Generating More Profit
Since onboarding and training, Kris says Kitty has picked things up quickly.
“She’s established a productive daily schedule and I’ve been able to offload significant blocks of work to Kitty. She’s doing a better job than I would!”
Kris is now working toward delegating higher-value tasks, like setting up automation and social media management.
With the help of his Great Assistant, Kris reports, “I’m now able to focus more time and energy on the specific tasks that generate more value to our company.”
Kris’s Advice to His Fellow Entrepreneurs:
“If you’re working toward high-value items in your business, the last thing you want to do is to dilute your time and attention working on things like resetting passwords, bill payments, scheduling meetings, and other low-level tasks. Identifying these tasks and hiring someone to take them on is important to consider.
“The Great Assistant Program combined the process knowledge and best practices to effectively manage the entire hiring and onboarding process for me.”
