Companies save $65,000+ per year when they choose a dedicated VA instead of hiring full-time staff.
This guide shows you exactly why Stealth Agents beats the competition every single time.
Quick Overview: Stealth Agents Vs Sutherland Global

| Monthly Investment | $1,600/month (full-time, dedicated) |

Smart business owners pick Stealth Agents for reliable support that actually saves money.
The traditional large BPO providers like Sutherland are struggling to compete on agility and personalization. Mid market buyers increasingly prefer smaller, dedicated providers who deliver relationship continuity rather than treating them as one account among thousands, with satisfaction scores running 25 to 35 percent higher for boutique virtual staffing partners.
The Hidden Cost Of Not Having Support
Business owners waste 21 hours per week on tasks someone else could handle.
That is more than half your work week spent on repetitive work instead of growing your business.
Companies lose $1.2 million per year when no one follows up with leads within 24 hours.
Only 38% of small business owners get a full weekend off because they handle everything themselves.
Tasks Your Stealth Agents VA Can Handle
| Category | Specific Tasks | Time Saved Weekly |
|---|---|---|
| Admin Work | Email management, calendar scheduling, data entry | 10 hours |
| Customer Service | Live chat, phone support, order processing | 15 hours |
| Marketing | Social media posts, content writing, lead research | 12 hours |
| Sales Support | CRM updates, follow-ups, appointment setting | 8 hours |
| Bookkeeping | Invoice creation, expense tracking, basic accounting | 6 hours |
Your VA handles all the time-consuming tasks that keep you stuck at your desk.
This frees up 20+ hours per week for you to focus on what makes money.
Most business owners get their evenings and weekends back within the first month.
Stealth Agents VAs work in your time zone and match your work style from day one.
