FAQs

Prowess Project’s vetted OBMs elect to go through a 60+ hour training and must pass an assessment to be entered into our OBM talent pool.  Prowess Project’s OBM University covers business systems, latest technology, demand generation creation and strategy growth practices – SPECIFICALLY for online CEOs, coaches & consultants. 

Great Question!  Prowess Project matches you with your ideal OBM via our proprietary algorithm that takes into account the skills needed, work-style, Communication-style, values and more.  Each candidate is presented to you with a compatibility score and you choose who to interview. 

Yes. You can interview up to 3 OBM candidates presented to you each with a compatibility score based on our proprietary matching-algorithm.

Good question.  Because the role of an Online Business Manager is relatively new, we’re happy to make the distinction. 

Generally, your OBM will join your team to proactively take you through our business transformation phases and serve as an operations and strategic leader + executer. 

Unlike many VAs, our OBMs will not need direction from you on day-to-day tasks but instead already know and complete what needs to happen in order to scale.  Getting on the same page to make this possible is part of Phase 1 of our Business Transformation Process: Audit & Foundations Set-up.

Absolutely.  If you need someone to handle running your business so you can focus on the work you love, an OBM is for you 🙂

Prowess Project is unique in the following ways:

1. A Community of professional women – The majority of the Prowess Community is made up of women pivoting in their careers or returning to the workplace.  They are all educated, experienced and looking for female-friendly jobs. The key to this Community is the ability for the women to network and learn from each other which keeps them Prowess-loyal and coming back. 
2. Behavior-science in the matching – Prowess Project using hundreds of emotional intelligence (EQ), behavior style and value indicators to ensure a good candidate/role/team fit. 
3. Vetted – Each of the women in our talent pool has elected to participate in our 60+ upskilling program. .  During that process, Prowess Project is gathering 100s of indicators on them used in our proprietary matching algorithm which is proven to cut the interview and ramp-up time in half. 

Currently, they all have business entities in the US, however we have plans to go worldwide. 

Of course, set-up time here.

Our mission: 43% of caregivers (mostly women) leave the workforce to raise children, COVID-19 pushed out another 5.4M. With no clear path to return, thousands are turning to Prowess Project.

We help caretakers and career-pivoters upskill as OBMs, network and connect them with jobs that fit both their work and home lives.

Our GOAL is to get 5K connected with clients in projects they love.
