OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Wishup?

I needed an assistant.

Wishup provides me with a virtual assistant who does a lot of background work so that I can do other things to grow my company. She mainly deals with customer service and does a lot of the tasks needed to keep the company running. Her scope also includes making and taking calls, dealing with warranty portals, and helping me with accounting. Basically, she wears a lot of hats.

What is the team composition?

In addition to the virtual assistant, I communicate with 3–4 teammates from Wishup.

We’ve spent $4,000.

We started working together in December 2022, and our engagement is ongoing.

Since hiring the virtual assistant from Wishup, I’ve noticed that she has relieved me from the daily duties, allowing me to grow the business from another angle. Our partnership has been wonderful.

Wishup’s customer service and virtual assistants are on point. My assistant is educated and always open to learning. Moreover, she wants to help our company, which makes a huge difference.

Are there any areas they could improve?

There’s nothing I would have them improve.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Ask a lot of questions to the virtual assistant and make sure they’re trainable and want to learn.
