If your team feels like they're constantly busy but not making real progress, you're not imagining it. Most professionals spend a huge chunk of their day on repetitive admin work including entering data, managing spreadsheets, and pulling reports. Salespeople, for example, only spend two hours a day selling. The rest of the time? At least an hour goes to manual tasks like database management that don't close deals but still have to get done. And it's not just sales. Another study found that over 40% of workers spend at least a quarter of their workweek on repetitive tasks like data entry, email management, and data collection. That's a lot of time (and payroll) going toward work that could easily be outsourced. That's where data entry virtual assistants come in.
