The Power of Outsourcing to Grow Your Business

Hello and welcome to Episode 85 of the People Powered Business Podcast!

 

In today's episode we are joined by Kristy Smith, Founder of Virtual Elves to discuss all things outsourcing.

She shows them how, with outsourcing, they can scale, grow and be profitable. She is known for her ability to see how businesses can operate in a more efficient way, and for walking business owners through the process. She uses her own business growth, mistakes and lessons learnt to give hands-on practical strategies that can be implemented immediately.

 

Virtual Elves started in 2009 with just Kristy at the helm and now boasts an international team of over 42 virtual assistants, graphic designers, web developers and other various contractors.

 

Kristy is a popular expert in her field for guest podcasts and Entrepreneur education groups such as The Entourage and Her Business.

 

Prior to founding Virtual Elves, Kristy managed large teams and implemented front office processes and customer service training for private hospitals and 5-star hotels. A mother of two, she lives on Sydney’s Northern Beaches with her husband and family.
