Prowess Project’s OBMs go through a 40+ hour training and must pass an assessment to be entered into our OBM talent pool.  Entitled Prowess OBM University, the program covers business systems, latest technology, demand generation creation and strategy growth practices for online scaling businesses.

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.

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 & certified – Each of the women in our job pool have been certified and vetted by our team in OBM skills.  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, we are just in the U.S. however we have plans to go worldwide.
