8point8 Team Supporting You
_edited.png)

You Didn't Build a Business to Become Its Bottleneck.
Since 2017, 8point8 has served as the invisible engine for high-performing firms across the globe. You are partnering with a specialized team of Filipino professionals dedicated to one result: your TIME FREEDOM.
You don’t just get a Solo General VA, You get a Full Team
Most virtual assistance firms provide a "General VA" who is often forced to "wing it" when you assign a new or out-of-the-box project. At 8point8, you are supported by Specialized Associates.
We believe that high-churn logistics should be handled by those with Enthusiastic Mastery in their field. Whether you need graphic design, video editing, procurement tracking, or website management, your task is assigned to an Associate with specific competence and experience in that area.
You will never have to worry about a team member struggling through a task they dislike. We ensure every "Hand-off" lands on the desk of a specialist who thrives in that specific workflow.

Continuity That Survives the Storm.
Why your business never stops, even when the unexpected happens.
In December 2021, the Philippines was hit by Typhoon Rai (Odette). In our headquarters in Cebu, 80% of power lines were felled. We faced a total blackout with no internet, no electricity, and no water.
For a solo virtual assistant, this would have meant a total halt in your support. For 8point8, it was a moment to prove our resilience. Because our Associates are strategically stationed throughout the Philippines, those in safe regions stepped in immediately.
Because we maintain a meticulous Operations Playbook for your firm, our team members could pick up exactly where their co-associates left off. Your business continued to run while we rebuilt. You deserve that level of continuity... a system that works even when you don't.
Hi! I’m Lisa Sabala.
…and here’s why I am obsessed with helping you achieve your time freedom.

You deserve a business that serves your life. I have been in the trenches of marketing copywriting and virtual assistance since 2009. I started as a solo VA, growing this team one specialized Associate at a time until we became the full-scale operations crew we are today.
My passion for the Business Day Reset is deeply personal. In 2015, my late husband and partner, Lee, was diagnosed with a chronic heart condition. Throughout his seven year journey, I was able to be present for every moment that mattered because my 8point8 Associates were behind me.
I share this because I want you to have that same certainty. You should be able to attend your daughter's ballet recital or manage a personal emergency without your business eating away at your peace of mind. Anything that is beyond your personal capacity as an owner, you can delegate to us. We enjoy doing our work so you can enjoy your time freedom.
From Administrative Debt to Business Day Clarity.
Most support teams make you work harder to manage them. We do the opposite.

You Reclaim Your Capacity
You stop "leaking" hours into high-churn logistics. You can finally enjoy the life you worked so hard to achieve.

You Own the Knowledge
Every process we handle for you is documented. We build your company’s “brain” so the knowledge stays with you, not a solo freelancer.

You Leverage Specialized Mastery
You have a dedicated team of Associates executing with precision. No "winging it." Just mastery.
