Indiana executives waste 31% of their week on tasks below their expertise level. We transform this equation with virtual executive assistants who handle administrative functions while you focus on production and growth.
You’ve built your Indiana business through quality and attention to detail. Yet routine tasks consume your day. Our executive assistants consistently save clients 16+ hours weekly, time better invested in core operations.
Why Indiana Executives Need Administrative Support
The facts are undeniable: Indiana business leaders are sacrificing valuable production and development time to administrative tasks. Industry research shows that 66% of Indiana executives work more than 50 hours weekly, with administrative tasks consuming upwards of 18 of those hours. This represents tens of thousands of dollars in opportunity cost every month.
The most successful Indiana businesses recognize that executive time must be protected from tasks that don’t require executive-level expertise. Consider these revealing statistics:
- Indiana executives spend an average of 15.5 hours weekly managing emails and communications
- 61% report that scheduling and calendar management takes 5+ hours weekly
- 78% say administrative tasks frequently prevent focusing on operational improvement
- 87% admit to handling tasks that could be effectively delegated
Your competitors face these exact challenges, but those who invest in executive support gain unmistakable advantages. They redirect those 18+ hours weekly toward activities that directly drive business forward: process improvement, team development, and growth initiatives.
The calculation is undeniable. If your time is worth $125/hour (a modest figure for most Indiana executives), you’re spending $2,250+ weekly on tasks that a professional assistant could handle for a fraction of that cost.
