How Virtual Assistants Transformed Beth Eldredge’s Cleaning Empire

An Exclusive Interview with Get Nuva’s CEO, Filemon Zeferino

Scaling a business is never easy, and for Beth Eldredge, founder of a thriving cleaning company and coach at Cleaning Business Fundamentals (CBF), the road to success was filled with challenges. From struggling to manage an expanding business to running a million-dollar company, Beth’s journey is a powerful example of what’s possible with the right systems—and the right team.

In this exclusive interview, Get Nuva’s CEO, Filemon Zeferino, sits down with Beth to discuss how hiring virtual assistants (VAs) transformed her business and freed her to focus on what she does best.

From Side Hustle to Scaling a Business

Filemon Zeferino (FZ): Beth, thanks for joining me today! Let’s start with your journey. What inspired you to start your cleaning business?

Beth Eldredge (BE): Thanks for having me! My journey started in college—I was a sophomore, a new mom, and determined to finish my degree. I started cleaning houses as a side hustle to support my daughter. Before I knew it, the demand grew, and I realized I had something bigger than just a part-time gig.
 
Within a year, I bought a house and created a stable life for us, but my business quickly outgrew me. I had no systems, and even though I was making money, I was barely keeping up with the workload. I needed a way to grow without burning out.
 
The Game-Changer: Implementing Systems
 
FZ: That’s incredible perseverance! What was the turning point for your business?
 
BE: Joining CBF changed everything. I learned how to implement systems, and within 18 months, my business tripled to a $1.7 million run rate. Eventually, I became a CBF coach, helping other cleaning business owners streamline their operations just like I did.

Why Beth Decided to Hire a Virtual Assistant

FZ: At what point did you decide to hire a virtual assistant?

BE: Honestly, at first, I was skeptical. We needed an extra team member, but finding local talent was difficult. I kept hearing about other cleaning companies hiring VAs, but I had doubts—how would I train them? Would clients accept them? Could they really handle the workload?
I finally took the plunge, and it turned out to be the best decision I could have made.
 
FZ: What was your experience like finding the right VA?

BE: My first experience wasn’t great. I worked with another company, and it didn’t work out because we didn’t know what to look for.
Then, I found Get Nuva, and everything changed. Your team made the entire process seamless, walking me through each step. The biggest difference? You were honest about expectations—hiring a VA isn’t an overnight fix, but when done right, it’s a game-changer.

The Transformational Impact of VAs on Beth’s Business

FZ: What impact has hiring a VA had on your business?

BE: It has completely revolutionized our operations. My VAs now take initiative, research solutions, and even anticipate what I need before I ask. We now have a clear roadmap for scaling—we know which roles to outsource and how to train remote team members effectively.

FZ:
And what about your personal life? Has hiring VAs made a difference there?

BE:
 Absolutely! I can stay in my zone of genius instead of drowning in tasks I’m not great at. Instead of being stuck in the weeds, I delegate to VAs who excel at those tasks. I’m happier, less stressed, and my business runs more efficiently.

Beth’s Advice for Business Owners on the Fence

FZ: What advice would you give to business owners who are considering hiring a VA but are still hesitant?

BE:
 Take the first step! The biggest obstacle is not knowing how a VA would fit into your operations. But once you see the possibilities, it’s a no-brainer.

Also, treat your VA like part of your in-house team. Include them in meetings, introduce them to your staff, and invest in their training. The more you help them succeed, the more they will help your business grow.

What’s Next for Beth’s Business?

FZ: Where do you see your business heading next?

BE: Now that we’ve unlocked the potential of hiring globally, we’re expanding strategically with the right people in place. We’ll continue using VAs for key roles, optimizing our systems, and staying ahead with the latest technology.

FZ: Beth, this has been an inspiring conversation. Thank you for sharing your journey with us!

BE: Thanks, Filemon! Always a pleasure.
