Back in Action<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<\/span>\n

We have been a little sluggish with our social media efforts till now. Reason why you haven’t seen too many blog posts since inception. But that is all set to change.<\/p>\n<\/span>\n

In the recent past, in general we have been initiating a shift towards more openness and transparency. We expect that this will help our clients make better sense of their long distance personal, business relationship with their VAs<\/a>. It’s a push towards opening our doors a little wider, for the whole world to see. So you will get to see a lot more posts from us, very frequently on what is happening out here. Stay tuned!<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/span>\n

Leah Milner<\/strong> from the Times Money (UK) did a story on GetFriday titled “Individuals are now outsourcing to India”<\/strong>. After running a thorough road test wherein she tested Madhu Abraham<\/strong> (our VA) on a variety of tasks including some mischievous ones where she tests his tact, here is her verdict.<\/p>\n

“Testing the limits of the service, I request that he writes a humorous blog for Money Central on the cheapest wedding venues, but Maddy says that while he is happy to do the background research he is \u201cnot a good writer\u201d. I reflect that it is probably just as well that I cannot outsource every aspect of my work or I would soon be out of a job.”<\/em><\/p>\n
