Good help is hard to find. That’s always been a challenge in any business. But it becomes easier when a few criteria change, such as the employee’s location and how many hours they need to work. That’s the appeal of a virtual assistant (VA): a professional who provides services to a business while working from an off-site location.
Brad Turner grew up in the contracting business. His father was a mechanical contractor that did HVAC, electrical, and security in Alabama. Turner worked in the business before getting into the staffing industry and then starting MyBTLR, a virtual assistant provider. Many of his customers are trade contractors.
