Front Range Systems Talk it through
3 minute scorecard

Before you hire another admin, find out how much of the job a system could do.

Most owners post the job first and ask this question never. Answer a few questions about the role you're about to fill. You'll see how many of its hours are repetitive work, what that's costing you, and whether you actually need the person.

Step 1 of 3

What role are you thinking about hiring?

What would this person cost you per year, all in?
$
Step 2 of 3

In a typical 40 hour week, where would their time go?

Your best guess is fine. Think about what the person doing it today actually spends the week on.

Retyping information from one system into another0 hrs
Updating, fixing, or reconciling spreadsheets0 hrs
Chasing people for status, info, approvals, or signatures0 hrs
Building quotes, reports, or documents by copy and paste0 hrs
Answering the same questions over and over ("where's my order," "what's the status")0 hrs
Work that truly needs a person: judgment calls, relationships, the unusual cases0 hrs
Step 3 of 3

Four quick ones

Is there a spreadsheet only one person knows how to update?
Do your main tools talk to each other, or does a person carry the data between them?
If your most important office person quit tomorrow, would things break?
Do most questions and approvals still end up on your desk?
Your score is ready
