The Challenge: Too Much Growth, Not Enough Systems
The owner was wearing too many hats — managing dispatch, chasing invoices, scheduling techs, and answering customer calls — all while trying to focus on growth.
Hiring local admin staff had proven difficult and expensive. Turnover was high, and new hires needed weeks of training before they could operate independently.
The business needed consistent, dependable help that wouldn’t break the budget or slow down operations.
The Solution: Start Small, Scale Smart
Hard Hat Helpers began with a single remote Admin and Bookkeeper Virtual Assistant.
Within days, this team member was helping with:
- Scheduling and dispatch for field technicians
- Bookkeeping and invoice management
- Job follow-ups and customer reminders
With just one reliable VA, the owner noticed smoother operations and faster cash flow.
Encouraged by the results, the franchise gradually expanded its remote team — from one virtual assistant to a full five-person remote back office.
The Growth Plan: Building a Remote Team That Works
Hard Hat Helpers helped the franchise create a structured support system:
- Two Dispatchers to manage calls and job scheduling
- One Bookkeeper to handle invoicing, payroll prep, and reporting
- One Marketing Assistant for social media and review management
- One Customer Care Rep dedicated to client satisfaction
This mix gave the company full coverage across every operational need — without adding a single desk or employee to their physical office.
The Results: Stronger Systems, Bigger Savings
With a fully remote support team, the handyman franchise achieved:
- $120,000+ in annual savings compared to hiring locally
- 40% increase in booked jobs
- Three new crews added to keep up with demand
- A smoother, more professional customer experience
The business scaled from local operations to multi-city coverage — all powered by remote staff.
