He also works as a business consultant and discusses his take on modern outsourcing, his career as an technical and children’s author and utilizing the correct personnel and IT for your company’s needs.   KEY TAKEAWAYS    Justin has used virtual assistants and outsourced programming and sales tasks quite often in his career so far and has been impressed by its scope and ease. He uses Upwork, Fiverr and Guru, all online outsource personnel sites to find people for his technical, editing and writing requirements. Chief Technology Officers manages all your technology including your inventory, software, hardware, online presence, data flow and security, literally everything your organisation needs in Information Technology. Justin recommends them highly as the organiser of your outsource IT. Good employees cannot bring you better results without the correct tools to do the job and that’s a good IT system with reliable security and data backup. To create backups of data Justin uses Backupify as a cheap and simple solution to keeping your data safe.   BEST MOMENTS    ‘I outsource a lot of marketing efforts, whether it’s a sales company or a company who’s going to do my LinkedIn, or outsourcing my blog posts or stuff like that so I’m a huge proponent of it.’ ‘Even though he’s outsourced I still talk to him on a regular basis, we have zoom calls like normal people and I still talk to him like he’s an employee but he doesn’t actually work for the company. I think of him like a contractor, he charges me by the hour, but I have no ties to him and if anything happens I can just get rid of him and find another programmer through that same system.’ ‘We do a holistic overview of their entire system. We are talking computer, network, printers, scanners, phone systems, software, connectivity, electricity, wi-fi, and all of that gets encompassed in that role.’ ABOUT THE GUEST Justin is the founder and CEO of Virtua Consulting Group, a New York City-based company in its second decade of operation. VCG divisions include the Apple-certified consultancy Virtua Computers, the business-focused ACES Conference, and the software development group Virtua XYZ. With a bachelor’s degree in Business Administration from the University of Rhode Island and over 15 years of industry experience, Justin focuses on empowering businesses, organizations, and individuals with the judicious application of technology.
