Companies save $47,000+ per year by choosing the right VA service instead of hiring employees.
This guide shows you exactly how these two options stack up so you can make the best choice.
Quick Overview: Stealth Agents vs Genpact
| Factor | Details |
|---|---|
| Monthly Investment | $1,600/month (full-time, dedicated) |
| In-House Equivalent Cost | Admin assistant salary + benefits = $54,600/year |
| Your Annual Savings | $35,400 back in your business |
| Service Focus | Small to mid-size businesses |
| Coverage Model | Dedicated assistant with backup |
| Management Style | Campaign manager helps you |
| Backup Coverage | Included at no extra cost |
Both options help businesses grow, but they work in very different ways for your team.
The outsourcing market is fundamentally shifting as mid market buyers realize that boutique providers with dedicated account teams deliver 30 percent better service outcomes than large scale BPO providers, because smaller firms treat every client as a priority account rather than managing them through standardized processes designed for enterprise volume.
The Hidden Cost Of Managing Everything Alone
Business owners spend 21 hours per week on repetitive tasks that could be done by someone else.
This means you lose time that should go toward growing your business and making more money.
When you try to handle everything yourself, important tasks get missed and opportunities slip away.
Studies show that 68% of small business owners work nights and weekends because they cannot keep up during regular hours.
Tasks Your Virtual Assistant Partner Can Handle
| Category | Specific Tasks | Time Saved Per Week |
|---|---|---|
| Admin Work | Email management, calendar scheduling, data entry | 8-12 hours |
| Customer Service | Live chat, phone support, follow-up calls | 6-10 hours |
| Marketing Tasks | Social media posts, content writing, lead research | 5-8 hours |
| Sales Support | CRM updates, appointment setting, proposal prep | 4-7 hours |
| Bookkeeping | Invoice creation, expense tracking, basic reports | 3-5 hours |
These tasks add up to 26-42 hours per week that you can get back.
With that extra time, you can focus on the big picture work that only you can do.
Your virtual assistant handles the daily tasks while you work on growing your business.
Stealth Agents matches you with assistants who already know your industry, so training time is cut in half compared to hiring someone new.

A Day In The Life Of Your VA Support Team
Your virtual assistant starts work when your business day begins, checking priority items first.
They handle customer emails, update your calendar, and prepare reports you need for meetings.
Throughout the day, they manage your social media, follow up with leads, and keep your CRM current.
By evening, they send you a summary of completed tasks and priorities for tomorrow.
Start with a simple task list for the first week, then add more complex projects as your assistant learns your business style and preferences.
