Brittany Brewer, a senior account executive at FreeUp, discusses the benefits and challenges of building a global team for e-commerce businesses. She shares how FreeUp was created to address the need for reliable freelancers in the e-commerce space and offers tips on effectively delegating tasks to a global team. Brittany emphasizes the importance of documenting tasks, establishing clear communication protocols, and creating an action plan for utilizing freed-up time. She also highlights the significance of regular meetings and open communication between clients and freelancers. Managing a global team requires clear lines of communication and consideration for different time zones and cultures. It is important to find the best lines of communication that your team is already comfortable with. Tools like Slack, Loom, Zoom, and Google Meet can facilitate effective communication. When working with international freelancers, it can be beneficial to delegate tasks that can be completed while you sleep. It is also important to establish clear communication preferences and use tools like WhatsApp or other communication platforms that work best for both parties. Additionally, using technologies like Time Doctor for productivity management and LastPass for secure password sharing can enhance team efficiency and security. Key Episode Takeaways:
