Delaware professionals waste 34% 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 client relationships.
You’ve built your Delaware business through trust and attention to detail. Yet routine tasks consume your day. Our executive assistants consistently save clients 15+ hours weekly, time better invested in high-value client work.
Why Delaware Executives Need Administrative Support
The facts are undeniable: Delaware business leaders are sacrificing valuable client time to administrative tasks. Industry research shows that 64% of Delaware executives work more than 50 hours weekly, with administrative tasks consuming upwards of 17 of those hours. This represents tens of thousands of dollars in opportunity cost every month.
The most successful Delaware businesses recognize that executive time must be protected from tasks that don’t require executive-level expertise. Consider these revealing statistics:
- Delaware executives spend an average of 14.5 hours weekly managing emails and communications
- 59% report that scheduling and calendar management takes 4+ hours weekly
- 76% say administrative tasks frequently prevent focusing on strategic client work
- 88% 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 17+ hours weekly toward activities that directly drive business forward: client relationships, strategic planning, and business development.
The calculation is undeniable. If your time is worth $200/hour (a modest figure for many Delaware professionals), you’re spending $3,400+ weekly on tasks that a professional assistant could handle for a fraction of that cost.
