We are extremely happy with Wishup VAs that work for SendX! If a job can be outsourced to a VA we first do that, instead of hiring a full time employee. This gives a unique execution advantage as hiring a VA takes in a few days rather than spending a few months hiring. Using Wishup for VAs has been a really great business decision for SendX and would strongly recommend them.
