I've hired a Phillilipines-Based VA and I feel that he's done a few things wrong:
- Not responding to customers promptly (clients have to follow up or I have to nudge him to do it)
- Not responding to potential leads promptly
- Not answering my emails (I have to nudge him to respond)
- Not remembering to follow certain instructions
- He even forgets to send daily/weekly reports that I ask for (Again, I have to nudge him for this)
I've even created a "Task Manager" for him to manage tasks I give him so he doesn't forget and he isn't using it.
I pay him semi-monthly to work full time, but I feel like he has another job on the side.
I even told him that he'd get paid a commission for every sale that gets generated from the appointments he books for us. Nothing generated yet.
I feel like he's getting too comfortable and seems to require tons of micromanaging.
Is there anything I can set in place to light a fire up under his butt to make sure he gets things done? (Eg. some sort of 3 strike rule, KPI process where if he doesn't hit KPIs, X happens, etc)
