Fifteen hours a week. That’s nearly two full working days. For an entrepreneur billing at $150/hr, that’s $2,250 worth of productive time that could be going into client work, business development, or simply living a better life.
Our clients don’t save 15 hours a week by working harder or using a different productivity app. They save it by delegating the right tasks to the right people. Here’s exactly what that looks like in practice.
The average professional spends over 2.5 hours per day in their inbox. For entrepreneurs, it’s often more. Our admin VAs take over full inbox management, categorizing, labeling, responding to routine inquiries with pre-approved templates, flagging important items, and keeping everything at zero by end of day.
Clients who hand over their inbox typically report getting back 5 to 8 hours a week. The email volume stays the same. What changes is that they no longer live in their inbox.
Creating content, writing captions, designing graphics, scheduling posts, responding to comments, social media management is a part-time job on its own. Our social media VAs handle the entire process from content calendar to published post to engagement monitoring.
How it works: You spend 30 minutes a month giving us your key messages, topics, and any big announcements. We do everything else. You review and approve before anything goes live.
Back-and-forth scheduling emails are one of the biggest hidden time drains for entrepreneurs. “Are you free Tuesday?” “Actually I’m busy Tuesday, what about Thursday?” “Thursday works, what time?” This dance eats time and energy for both parties.
Our VAs set up and manage Calendly booking systems, coordinate between time zones for international clients, schedule all meetings, send reminders, and handle rescheduling requests, completely off your plate.
Whether it’s competitor research, supplier comparisons, market data, or compiling weekly performance reports, research tasks are time-consuming but don’t require the entrepreneur to do them personally. A trained VA with a clear brief can produce high-quality research that would have taken you half a day in a fraction of the time.
Maintaining a clean pipeline, logging interactions, sending follow-up emails, chasing proposals, updating deal stages, CRM maintenance is critical but relentless. Our automation experts set up the systems and our admin VAs keep them running daily.
When you add it all up: inbox + social + scheduling + research + CRM = 17 to 26 hours per week. That’s not an exaggeration. That’s what our clients actually report when we survey them after 60 days of working together.
Some invest it back into client-facing work and increase their revenue directly. Some use it for business development, the sales calls and strategic thinking they never had time for. Some, honestly, just use it to be more present with their families. All of these are completely valid uses of the time you’ve earned back.
