Transforming Time Management for a Busy Entrepreneur

Client Profile: Sarah is a busy entrepreneur running a small but rapidly growing e-commerce business. With the demands of managing orders, customer service, and inventory, she found herself overwhelmed with administrative tasks that ate into her time for strategic planning and business growth.

Sarah spent countless hours each week on emails, processing paperwork, and invoicing. These essential but time-consuming tasks prevented her from focusing on core business activities, leading to increased stress and long work hours. She needed a reliable, cost-effective solution to manage these tasks without the commitment and expense of hiring full-time staff.

Sarah decided to hire Plan B’s virtual assistant services for 5 hours a week at £32 an hour. By doing so, she offloaded the following tasks:

  • Email Management: Filtering, prioritising, and responding to emails, ensuring timely communication without the daily distraction.

  • Invoicing: Creating, sending, and tracking invoices to ensure smooth cash flow and prompt payments.

Within the first month, Sarah noticed significant improvements in her business operations and personal well-being:

  1. Increased Productivity: With 5 hours of administrative support each week, Sarah could dedicate more time to strategic planning and business development, leading to a 20% increase in sales.
  2. Reduced Stress: Delegating routine tasks freed up Sarah’s schedule, reducing her stress levels and allowing her to enjoy more quality time with her family.
  3. Improved Cash Flow: Efficient invoicing processes ensured that payments were tracked and received on time, improving the business’s financial stability.
  4. Enhanced Customer Satisfaction: Prompt and professional email management improved customer communication, leading to higher satisfaction and repeat business.
