The Cost of Hiring a Business Operations Manager vs. a Full Time Employee
By Pam Weiser

One of the biggest differences between hiring a business operations manager and a full time employee is the cost, and if you’re a small business owner or entrepreneur, the cost is usually going to be your deciding factor. Is hiring someone full time really in your budget, or does hiring a personal concierge, to support you and the business make more sense? 

Hiring a business operations manager is less expensive than hiring someone full time. Here is why...

Full time employees require additional expenses, on top of their regular salary. Such as:
  • Healthcare Insurance
  • Workers' Compensation
  • Vacation Pay
  • Retirement Benefits
  • Taxes
  • Overtime Pay (if hourly)
  • Life Insurance
  • Sick pay
  • Training costs
  • Office Equipment (computer, monitor, desk, etc.)
  • Turnover costs 

Time is also a huge factor. How many hours does your team spend going through resumes, scheduling interviews, interviewing, and then negotiating? It may take weeks or months trying to find the right candidate.

When you hire a Business Operations Manager: 
  • You’re only paying them the rate which has been agreed upon, based on the hours or projects worked. 
  • There are no overhead costs for you or the assistant. 
  • Business Operations Managers are remote and have their own workspaces and equipment. 
  • Business Operations Managers pay their own taxes and health insurance.
  • Business Operations Managers pay for their own training, in order to advance their skills.
  • If it doesn’t work out with your assistant, the cost to find another one is minimal vs. the cost and time it takes to find a new full time employee.
  • Business Operations Managers work flexible hours. This is more convenient than having to hear about an employee complain, for working off hours.

A Business Operations Manager can save you time and money, as well as help you scale your business. Are you ready to hire an experienced Business Operations Manager?

“Whenever you see a successful business, someone once made a courageous decision.” ― Peter F. Drucker

The Benefits of Having an Assistant 
by Pam Weiser

As an entrepreneur, how much time do you spend trying to get yourself organized, trying to complete projects or to-do’s, only to be pulled in multiple different directions, before getting organized or completing those projects? Your focus gets lost, time gets wasted, and ultimately, the wasted time costs you money. Sound familiar? You should be spending your time in front of customers and clients, closing deals!

This is where having an assistant comes in. Delegating tasks to your assistant frees up your time to focus on your growing business.

A great assistant can help you with:
  • Staying on schedule and time management
    • No more spending hours trying to schedule meetings
    • No more forgotten or double booked meeting times
    • Use your assistant to help you manage your time and calendar, so that you can focus on long term goals and strategic plans.
  • Getting organized
    • A good assistant can help with creating processes and procedures to help streamline efficiency.
    • Make better use of your time and work smarter - not harder!
  • Work-life balance
    • Hand off administrative tasks to your assistant to help alleviate boredom of doing menial or time consuming tasks, or even personal things, like forgetting to buy a birthday gift for your partner.
    • Use your assistant to avoid burnout, being overworked, and having added stress! There are only so many hours in the day.
    • Improve your relationships! Get your time back and delegate!
  • Establishing a “partnership”
    • Over time, trust will evolve, and you know that you can depend on your assistant to get things done.
    • Use your assistant to troubleshoot, problem solve, and be the “go-to” person for decision making and to help move your business forward.
    • Allow your assistant to take initiative, learn new skills, and provide strategic support!

Yes, having an assistant is an investment, but by investing in a great assistant, your productivity will improve and you can focus on the larger picture...PROFITS!!

“Being overwhelmed is often as unproductive as doing nothing, and is far more unpleasant. Being selective – doing less – is the path of the productive. Focus on the important few and ignore the rest.” – Tim Ferriss
