Every second matters in the hectic business environment of today. Staying productive can seem like an uphill battle with never-ending to-do lists, back-to-back meetings, and the continual flood of emails. A Sidekicks Executive Assistant can help with that! They work like a force multiplier to help increase productivity, streamline processes, and give you back control over your schedule. Here are seven reasons why your company, now more than ever, should use an Executive Assistant.
1. Unrivaled Time Management
Picture this: you start your day bright and early, ready to conquer the world. But instead of making headway on your strategic plans, you’re lost in a sea of emails, meeting reminders, and administrative tasks. Sound familiar? Trying to handle all the small business administrative items, manage the team, and strategically plan the business goals is almost impossible. It is so easy to become overwhelmed and before you know it, nothing on your priority list gets done.
An Executive Assistant is your lifesaver in this sea of distraction. They expertly handle your scheduling, coordinate meetings, and manage correspondence, freeing up your precious time. They’re like time-bending superheroes, giving you the power to focus on the big picture: growing your business.
2. Skyrocketed Productivity
Did you know that business owners spend almost 20% of their time on administrative tasks? That’s one whole day each week! Imagine what you could achieve if you had an extra day in your workweek? How much more could you push the sales of your company? How much more time could you take back for your family?
This is where an Executive Assistant shines. They take administrative tasks off your plate, letting your productivity soar. Suddenly, you’re no longer bogged down with emails, phone calls, or travel arrangements. Instead, you’re free to do what you do best: leading and growing.
3. Stellar Decision-Making Support
In business, making well-informed decisions quickly is the name of the game. But gathering all the necessary information takes time – something most executives are short on. It also takes focused attention to do it right. Too many distractions and it either does not get done or it does not get done well. Time to remove the distractions.
Here’s the good news: Executive Assistants aren’t just master schedulers; they’re superb information managers. They can compile data, conduct market research, and even prepare reports, making sure you have all the information you need, when you need it. Spend your time on the items that matter – making the decisions.
4. Seamless Task Delegation
We get it. It is hard to delegate certain business tasks, especially if they are things you can handle yourself. Those things add up though and before you know it, they take hours a day, because we fail to delegate them. Having a trusted assistant to delegate those tasks to is a game changer.
An Executive Assistant can not only take those tasks from you, but they can also help with that second layer of task delegation to the greater team. Need to find out if everyone has finished their training? Delegate the task to your Executive Assistant and have them delegate the data collection to the team! Let the Executive Assistant keep their finger on the pulse of your business and provide you with the data.
5. Strategic Support for Business Growth
As your business grows, so do your responsibilities and business tasks. If you handle everything yourself, you will soon find yourself completely overwhelmed with management activities, leaving you with no time to do what you do best – grow the business. An Executive Assistant provide you the opportunity to smartly grow, plan, and delegate along the way, before your calendar is overrun.
6. High Returns on Investment
Let’s use a typical hourly rate of $100 per hour. If you spend even 20 hours a week of your own time on the business items, that is $2,000 per week, not to mention lost time you could spend on selling and growing. Delegate the time and use that time on the business. At Sidekicks, our Executive Assistants start at $1,500 per month. Your time alone pays for them in just the first week! Imagine what you can do with an extra 10-20 hours per week.
7. Boosted Business Efficiency
Executive Assistants are the oil that keeps your business engine running smoothly. They improve communication, enhance project management, and streamline resource allocation. The result? A more efficient, effective, and successful business. We love streamlined processes at Sidekicks, and an Executive Assistant can make that happen for you and your business. Delegate the tasks and have them create smart, effective processes for your team and your business.
