What Do 10 Reclaimed Hours Look Like?
- 2.5 additional jobs if you bill 4h per job — potentially £400–900 extra turnover.
- 10 free evenings — without opening a laptop.
- One full day to train, prospect, or simply breathe.
The average tradesperson spends 12% of their working time on non-billable administration. Automation brings this ratio below 2%.
10 hours a month. That is 120 hours a year. That is 3 full working weeks. What would you do with 3 extra weeks?
