  • Scheduling meetings and resolving calendar conflicts
  • Sending reminders and follow-ups
  • Managing travel bookings

Customer Support

  • Answering common customer questions via email or chat
  • Processing simple refund or exchange requests

Getting Started

Most business owners start by delegating just one or two of the categories above, then expand once the working relationship is established. The goal isn't to hand over everything on day one; it's to free up the hours that keep you from higher-value work.
