Connecticut professionals lose valuable billable time to administrative tasks. Studies show executives spend 28% of their week managing email, scheduling, and documentation, activities that don’t require their specialized expertise.
The choice facing Connecticut business leaders is clear: continue handling routine tasks that consume your day, or invest in support that allows you to focus on revenue-generating activities and strategic growth.
Why Connecticut Executives Need Administrative Support
The evidence is compelling: Connecticut business leaders are sacrificing high-value time to administrative tasks. Research indicates that 66% of Connecticut executives work more than 50 hours weekly, with administrative responsibilities consuming nearly 17 of those hours. This represents thousands of dollars in lost opportunity every month.
Successful Connecticut businesses understand that executive time is far too valuable to waste on tasks that don’t require executive expertise. Consider these revealing statistics:
- Connecticut executives spend an average of 15.5 hours weekly managing emails and communications
- 61% report that scheduling and calendar management takes 4+ hours weekly
- 78% say administrative tasks frequently interrupt client-facing time
- 86% acknowledge handling tasks that could be effectively delegated
While many Connecticut businesses face these same challenges, those who invest in executive support gain a meaningful competitive edge. They redirect those 17+ hours weekly toward activities that directly impact growth: client relationships, strategic planning, and revenue-generating opportunities.
The calculation is straightforward. If your time is worth $175/hour (a conservative estimate for many Connecticut professionals), you’re investing $2,975+ weekly on tasks that a professional assistant could handle for a fraction of that cost.
The Virtual Advantage for Connecticut Businesses
Traditional executive assistants in Stamford, Hartford, and other Connecticut cities command salaries of $52,000-$75,000 annually, plus benefits, workspace, and equipment. This represents a substantial overhead commitment for many growing businesses.

- 71% lower cost than traditional local hires
