Case studies are among the highest-converting pieces of content a B2B business can produce, but the coordination involved in producing them — identifying willing customers, scheduling interviews, preparing questions, recording calls, and managing transcripts — often creates enough friction that the project stalls. A virtual assistant for case study interview coordination removes all of that administrative burden so your writers and marketers can focus on crafting the story. The VA handles every logistical step from customer outreach to handing off a clean transcript.

How to Hire
Define how many case studies you want to produce per month and what your ideal customer profile looks like for these stories. Provide the VA with access to your customer list, your CRM, and examples of case studies you admire from your own company or competitors.
Questions to ask candidates:
- Have you coordinated interviews or content production projects involving external stakeholders?
- How do you handle a customer who agrees to participate but stops responding?
- What does a good case study interview question guide look like to you?
"We were producing one case study a quarter because the coordination was a bottleneck. Our VA moved us to two a month by handling everything except the writing. It transformed our content pipeline." — Content Director
Assign a test: give the VA a fictional customer profile and ask them to draft a case study participation request email, a three-question outline for the interview, and a follow-up sequence. Evaluate professionalism, structure, and initiative.
