The Hidden Cost of Hiring the Wrong Virtual Assistant (And How to Avoid It)

Hiring the wrong virtual assistant doesn’t just waste time — it stalls your growth, creates stress, and costs far more than most people realize. Learn the true impact of VA turnover, and how BBVA’s Source and Support Package protects you from bad hires.

The Real Problem Isn’t Finding a VA — It’s Keeping the Right One

Every business owner knows the feeling:

• You spend hours reviewing VA profiles…
• You hire someone who seems like a good fit…
• A few weeks later, they go silent, miss deadlines, or ghost altogether.

Now you're back where you started — but with more stress and less trust.

And here's the worst part: the cost of a bad hire isn’t just financial. It chips away at your time, energy, client experience, and momentum.

Let’s Break Down the Hidden Costs

1. Time Lost on Training and Onboarding

Even if the VA only lasted two weeks, how many hours did you spend:

• Writing instructions
• Training via Zoom
• Answering clarification questions
• Creating SOPs

You can't get that time back. And now you’ll have to do it all again.

2. Revenue Delays and Missed Opportunities

When your VA doesn’t follow through:

• Proposals get delayed
• Inquiries go unanswered
• Projects fall behind

This doesn’t just hurt your calendar — it hurts your reputation.

3. Emotional Energy and Decision Fatigue

Hiring the wrong VA is exhausting. The micro-management, the follow-ups, the stress of wondering if something’s been done… it all adds up.

That emotional toll spills into the rest of your business and affects your ability to focus and lead.

4. Turnover That Disrupts Your Workflow

Every time you replace a VA, you interrupt momentum. Clients feel it. Your team feels it. You feel it. And if it happens more than once, it starts to look like you’re the problem — even when it’s not.

Why Most VA Hiring Fails (and How to Fix It)

Here’s the truth: most VA hiring failures come from lack of structure, lack of support, and unrealistic expectations — on both sides.

This is where BBVA’s Source and Support Package changes everything.
