Episode 362: AI’s Role in Redefining Virtual Assistant Value with Jen Lehner

Episode

How can AI be used to enhance the use of Virtual Assistants? Can it be used instead of them?

There’s no better feeling than when something that you used to do, and used to take you a bunch of time, just happens and it’s better than you would’ve done it in the first place. 

That’s the satisfying feeling you get as a business owner when a VA you know and trust inputs the right data into AI. But is this dream scenario all that realistic?

Jen Lehner is the CEO of Front Row CEO Virtual Staffing, and she’s here to tell us that, absolutely, AI has helped improve the world of Virtual Assistants – making them even more valuable to you and your business. 

With all this information overwhelming, it’s no longer enough to show your client the latest shiny thing – everyone’s doing that. As a business owner, you need to bring a touch of humaneness back to your client engagement. And you can do that by freeing up your time.

Learn why we need the help of a team that we are prepared to invest in and not see as an expense. Hear Jen’s great advice on giving your VAs a trial week to separate out the ones that have used AI to apply for the job and those that know what they are doing. 

You should be doing the things only you can do. With the right combination of a Virtual Assistant and the latest AI software, all you need is patience and the right prompts, and soon you’ll be experiencing that satisfying feeling of a job well done (that you had hardly anything to do with) a lot more often! Please join us.
