#207 How Marketing Assistants Fit into Business Operations with Ange Quinn

Unicorns Unite: The Freelance Digital Marketing Virtual Assistant Community

We’re talking about business operations versus marketing and where the two intersect. It's an area where I always felt weak coming from journalism and PR background. I've never really been in a big operational environment.

My guest is my friend Ange Quinn: operations expert, Clockwork Certified Partner, and owner of The Ops Builder. Her whole goal is to help business owners scale and hire the right people who will stay with them for the long haul. Whether you're just starting out or looking to refine your business model, this episode is packed with advice to help you build a business capable of running smoothly— even when you're not around.

Listen in to learn more about

• why many business owners prioritize marketing over operations
• how efficient operations can decrease expenses and significantly boost profits
• team management and financial handling
• avoiding the pitfalls of micromanagement through delegation and communication
• Emily’s lead magnet gone rogue due to a lack of processes

I’ve known Ange a long time and she has been a business bestie in my back pocket. I really love how she encourages business owners to understand their numbers. Success is not just about revenue; it's about creating efficient systems that lead to sustainable growth. Tune in so you can bring this operational hat into the client work that you're doing right now.
