How to Hire a Marketing Assistant




Alex and Danny were both hired as minimum-wage marketing assistants, but they’ve leveraged their positions to set them up for future success. Here’s how.
We hadn’t had much success in the past hiring high-paid marketing assistants, so we decided that a new strategy would be necessary. Instead of hiring a high-paid expert, we would hire someone who would agree to work for minimum wage in exchange for the education and opportunities that we can provide here at Vyral. This process has yielded good results so far—just ask Alex and Danny.
They were both initially interested in the position because of the opportunity of a $50,000 + salary six months down the road. However, once they went through the interview process they realized it was a perfect fit.
This was no accident. Our eight-step hiring process ensures that we only get the best and most motivated candidates. With all the steps we take to filter candidates, it’s inevitable.
Our interview process is a bit unorthodox, but ultimately rewarding. We first contact candidates via email and ask them to fill out a personal assessment, as well as answering five questions on video. After that, we set up a Skype meeting, then an in-person meeting, then an interview.
It’s a big deal when you make the wrong hire. That’s why we have a process in place to ensure we only get the best candidates. You should have one, too.
We’ve created a culture here at Vyral that is all about improving and learning each day.

A Different Mortgage Option for California Veterans


You've probably heard of VA loans for veterans looking to buy a home, but we can actually help you get an even better product through the California Veterans Administration.


We have an excellent contact at the California Veterans Administration and today, I wanted to tell you about a great loan product they can set you up with if you're a veteran looking to buy a home.
There are some subtle differences between a normal VA loan and a California Veterans loan. Most brokers in town can issue a normal VA loan; they're just insured and guaranteed by the federal Veterans Administration.

The cool thing with the California Veterans loan is that it's actually California bond money financing the loan. Nobody will sell the loan and it won't be serviced by some other company. In fact, it will be serviced right here in Sacramento at the California Veterans Administration, which we call Cal Vet for short.

When my dad became disabled, they actually continued to make the payments on my folks' property.

It's definitely a good product that I'm personally familiar with because my folks had one many many years ago. When my dad became disabled, they actually continued to make the payments on my folks' property.

With a normal VA loan, the rates can actually adjust two or three times a day. Until you're under contract and locked in, the interest rate can go higher or lower frequently. You also have to worry about time frames. If you're looking to buy a new home that's under construction, there might be four to six months of construction. With a VA loan, your contract is locked, so you don't have to worry about your interest rate rising during that construction period.

Another advantage comes with the homeowners insurance aspect. With a VA loan, your structure insurance is actually covered in your loan. All you'd need is a renter's policy to cover your contents, which saves you more money off your monthly expenses.

If you'd like to learn more about these loans, I'd be happy to get you in contact with my contact at Cal Vet. Just give me a call or send me an email and we can get that conversation started for you.

How Can Our New VIP Buyer Program Help You?


Our new VIP Buyer Program offers many great incentives for buyers who choose us to help them purchase a home. Here’s how.


Have you heard the good news? We have a tremendous new VIP Buyer Program designed to reward buyers like you for choosing us to help you buy a home. Here’s what we’re offering.

You can earn a $1,500 closing credit if you buy a property from us that’s listed by us but isn’t yet on the MLS. This type of listing is sometimes referred to as a ‘pocket listing.’ This is a great opportunity for you to save money while buying a house that’s perfectly suited to your needs without any competition.

You can also earn a $1,000 closing credit if you buy one of our listings that’s actively listed on the MLS and a $500 closing credit if you buy any listing through us that’s not one of our listings but is still listed on the MLS.


This program offers many
great incentives.


As always, all of our buyers get their new houses re-keyed, because we’d never want you to move into a house without knowing who else has access to it.

In addition to these things, our VIP buyers also get to choose from one of four services:

  • Free carpet cleaning.
  • Four hours of moving help, which can be delegated and arranged according to your preferences.
  • Four hours of housekeeping, from either the house you’re moving from or the house you’re moving to.
  • Four hours of organizing help in your new home.

If you’re interested in this program, feel free to reach out to me so we can fill you in on all the details. Our goal this year is to help 100 families, and we’d love for you to be one of them!
