How Admin Amy Helped a CEO Win Big Contracts and Reclaim His Time

As a business owner wearing every hat, this client described himself as the “chief everything officer.” Important but not urgent projects constantly fell to the back burner while he managed day-to-day demands. When a half-million-dollar government contract opportunity arose under an extremely tight deadline, he knew he couldn’t do it alone.

This is the story of how Admin Amy became the extra set of hands—and brains—he needed to win big and scale confidently.

Overwhelmed and Out of Time

Managing proposals, contracts, spreadsheets, and presentations all at once left him stretched too thin. The stakes were high, but without help, he risked missing deadlines and losing opportunities.

"I needed to clone myself. I needed one of me to write, another one of me to design PowerPoint slides, another one to read through the federal acquisition regulation. But I can’t clone myself. That’s where Amy came in."

Our Solution: High-Level Support That Went Beyond Admin Work

Admin Amy stepped in, quickly understood the scope, and delivered at a high level. She split the workload with him and his team, helping produce a 100+ page government contract submission under deadline. Beyond paperwork, she offered creative ideas like turning a complex proposal into a dynamic website—a solution he hadn’t even considered. She also handled complex financial projections, Excel pro formas, and detailed research, freeing him to focus on client relationships and growth.

“At first I thought Amy would just take on menial tasks. I had no idea she would be able to take what I do, do it better, and even do things I can’t do at a very high level.”

The Result: Major Wins and More Freedom

With Admin Amy’s support, he submitted the $500,000 government contract on time, impressed investors with financial projections, and elevated proposals with professional polish. More importantly, he gained back the time and mental space to focus on clients, family, and business strategy instead of drowning in tasks.

“I don’t know how I was running my business without Amy before. She’s my round-to-it—my force multiplier. Because of her, I can handle more clients, command higher prices, and still spend more time with my family.”
