The Challenge

The competitive landscape in the Palm Beach area is brutal, with numerous companies vying for the same customers. Hiring locally in the US proved to be a costly affair, with a limited talent pool and high salary demands. Victory Gardens required a cost-effective solution that aligned with their operational hours and cultural values. Additionally, the ability to delegate sales, administrative, and design tasks became crucial for gaining a competitive edge.

Solution with SkillGo

Victory Gardens turned to SkillGo for their nearshore virtual worker needs. The process began with the hiring of a remote sales assistant. SkillGo provided three well-curated candidates, and within less than 10 days, Victory Gardens hired a highly competent sales assistant from Latin America at a cost of just $2300 per month.

Within two months, the remote sales assistant helped Victory Gardens secure four new commercial contracts, resulting in an additional $11,000 per month in revenue. This significant achievement showcased the efficiency and effectiveness of SkillGo’s nearshore talent. Following the success of the remote sales assistant, Victory Gardens expanded their remote team by hiring a landscape architect from Argentina to draw designs and create professional presentations, saving at least 70% on payroll compared to hiring a local architect.
