Interview with Staffing Entrepreneur Erik Reid:

As home-based entrepreneurs, we often have to become guerilla fighters in our businesses. This leads to adopting innovative ways to succeed in business.

One innovative way is to "flip the model" in the industry you want to break in to. Flip that model and break the chains that hold you back from succeeding in your targeted market.

A Case in point is Erik Reid, one of the two brains behind the company Virtustant (Virtustant.com). Erik Reid, along with his partner Kevin Wright, run Virtustant, a company that's connecting businesses with top remote talent in regions like Latin America. What's most intriguing is how they're flipping traditional hiring models to launch and grow Virtustant.

Subjects discussed in podcast include: • Erik Reid's Inspiration fo launching Virtustant • How Erik flipped the model to gain a foothold in the hiring industry • Toughest challenges to overcome in launching the business • Going head-to-head with other hiring companies after flipping the hiring model. • Leveraging competitive advantages to flip how business is done in the hiring industry • Guerilla marketing tactics used to launch and grow their start-up • Turning Artificial Intelligence into a competitive advantage. • What does the future of work hold in the hiring industry? • What a podcast listener can do to start flipping their own business model
