Add up the hours you got back each month and multiply by what your time is worth, then add any revenue the assistant helped bring in (follow-ups, leads, faster invoicing). Compare that to the monthly package price. For example, getting back 20 hours a month for $240 is worth it if your time is worth more than $12 an hour.
Below is what an Administrative Assistant does, what it costs and how to hire one this week.
