The Hidden Cost Of DIY Business Tasks
Business owners spend 16 hours per week on admin tasks that someone else could do.
That adds up to 832 hours per year of your valuable time.
Missed follow-ups cost companies $1.8 million per year in lost revenue.
Only 28% of a business owner’s day gets spent on actual money-making activities.
Tasks Your Virtual Assistant Statistics Can Handle
