The Hidden Admin Tax That’s Costing You Real Money
What’s the Admin Tax?
It’s every minute you or your team spend doing manual admin: retyping job notes, chasing late approvals, or sending quotes the long way around. It’s the silent margin killer in every trade business. You don’t see it on your invoice — but it’s in your lost time, your stress, and the leads you forget to follow up.
The 3 Signs You’re Paying It
- 🕐 You quote after hours — because there’s no time during the day
- 🔁 You forget to follow up on jobs — or do it too late
- 📋 You’re still typing notes into three different tools
Why It Adds Up
Every 10 minutes spent chasing paperwork = 10 minutes lost quoting the next job. You could be winning new work — but admin is getting in the way. Multiply that across a week, and it’s hours. Across a year? It’s tens of thousands in lost opportunity.
