You’re up a ladder, your phone buzzing with notifications. You know you should check in with your customers, but you’ve got work to finish. Then, you get home, and those emails you ignored all day have piled up, leaving you no time to unwind before waking up to another busy day.
You didn’t get into this trade to be buried in admin work, and now it feels like it’s just as demanding as the job itself. Sometimes, it takes over completely. This wasn’t part of the plan.
Wouldn’t it be nice if, when you finished up on-site, you were actually done for the day? No worrying about admin tasks piling up. You could switch off, enjoy your evenings, and have weekends to yourself.
Well, that can be your reality when you choose to outsource your admin work to Clare H Writes. I’ll free up your time so that you can focus on what you love – doing the job you’re skilled at – while leaving the paperwork to me.
How DIY Admin Is Costing You More Than You Think
We all know admin work takes up way more time than it should, and there’s never enough hours in the day. Managing emails and paperwork can eat into your free time, time you could be spending with family or relaxing after a hard day’s work.
But ignoring it isn’t an option, is it? Because if you don’t switch that laptop on, here’s what could happen:
- Missed or delayed payments because chasing them up didn’t make it past your to-do list.
- Lost future work because you didn’t get back to a potential customer in time and by the time you reply, they’ve already gone with someone else.
- Wasted hours trying to catch up on admin when you’d rather be on-site doing the work you actually enjoy.
Stop letting admin take over your free time (and your income). Let me take care of your admin and together, we’ll make sure nothing slips through the cracks.

- An Up-to-Date Schedule: Double bookings and missed appointments are a thing of the past. With a well-managed diary, your clients will always know you’re where you say you’ll be.
- A Professional Online Presence: A clean, active website and social media shows you mean business. Potential clients will have more confidence in your services, and you’ll stand out from the competition.
For tradespeople, word-of-mouth and repeat business are everything. Strong client communication and a well-organised business can make all the difference in keeping that reputation strong.
Drowning in Admin? Delegate These To Me!
There’s a lot I can take off your plate. I’ve got the time and expertise to take care of tasks that might be slowing you down. Here’s how I can help:
Customer Communication: You’re busy, and the last thing you want is to miss out on potential work because you didn’t have time to reply to an email or Check a Trade query. By handing over your customer enquiries, reviews, and follow-ups, you’ll never leave a customer hanging.
Let me take care of your emails and platform management so you can stop stressing about customer messages piling up. With me onboard, you’ll know everything’s taken care of and you won’t miss out on new jobs or valuable opportunities.
Invoicing and Payments:
Sick of keeping track of invoices and chasing payments? I’ll make sure your invoices go out on time, follow up when necessary, and help you get paid faster so your cash flow stays strong and your stress levels stay low.
Scheduling and Diary Management:
No more double bookings or forgotten appointments. Keeping your schedule sorted means you’ll always know where you’re supposed to be and when.
With a clearer view of your week, you’ll save time, avoid last-minute changes, and keep your clients happy. Plus, they’ll respect your punctuality and reliability, making your life easier and your reputation stronger.
File and Record Organisation:
Tired of scrambling through piles of paperwork when a client asks for an old invoice or contract? If your records are organised, you can pull them up on your phone in seconds. But if you’re digging through a mountain of paperwork, it can make you look unprepared.
Stay organised and you’ll be able to pull up client details or invoices in seconds—impressing clients with how quickly and professionally you handle their requests.
Social Media Management:
Keeping your social media active can bring in new clients, but who’s got the time to post regularly after a long day on-site? I’ll share updates about your latest jobs, including before-and-after photos that get people talking. By managing your social media, I’ll make sure you stay visible and top of mind for potential customers, even when they’re not actively looking for your services. So, when they need a job done, they’ll think of you first!
Data Entry:
Data entry might not be the most exciting part of the job, but getting it wrong can cause problems down the line. A missed email or an outdated phone number can lead to frustrated customers or missed opportunities. I can update your records, manage customer details, track projects, or enter invoices, whatever needs doing.
Website Maintenance:
Your website is often the first impression potential clients have of your business. If it’s outdated or not working properly, they might think your services are the same.
Keeping it updated means it loads quickly, looks professional, and highlights your best work, leading to more enquiries. I can take the stress out of website upkeep so it’s always fresh and running smoothly. Plus, when your site is in good shape, it ranks better in search engines, helping you attract even more customers.
Spend Less Time on Admin and more Time on the Tools!
Let’s face it: admin tasks are eating into your time, and it’s time to take that back! When you bring me on board, it means fewer distractions, smoother communication, and happier clients. Plus, your reputation will thank you!
Think about it: if you spend an hour every evening dealing with emails and invoices, that’s 5 hours a week or 20 hours a month. Imagine what you could do with that time! More jobs = more money!
How many times have you scribbled down a quote on a scrap of paper and then forgotten to follow up? That can hurt your reputation. I’ve set up a simple quote form for my clients to fill out on-site so I can send the quote to your customer before you even get home for the evening. Trust me, your customers will be impressed by how quickly you respond!
I bet you’re not chasing invoices as often as you should be. And that can really slow down your cash flow. But with me managing your invoicing, you could get paid faster and keep your finances running smoothly!
Outsourcing your admin doesn’t just save you time; it helps you make more money and keeps your clients happy. When you’re not stuck in paperwork, you can focus on growing your business!
Worried About Outsourcing? Here’s Why It Works
- Cost Concerns – You might be thinking, “I can’t afford another expense.” But can you afford not to? My rates are on my website, and you choose how many hours you want me to work each week. The more hours you book, the lower the rate! You can set your budget and stick to it.
- Loss of Control – I understand it’s hard to trust someone with your clients. But with 20+ years of experience in admin and customer service, I know how to keep things professional. I’ll also document any new processes we set up so you always have a clear record to refer to.
- Quality of Work – I’m not asking you to commit to a full year! We can start with a trial period to make sure you’re happy with how I work. It’s your business, and I’m flexible to work the way that suits you.
- Data Security – I know how important your client details and financial records are. Your data is safe with me. I keep everything secure, and my laptop is locked down and off-limits to anyone else. Protecting your information is a priority for me.
- Time Investment – Yes, it might take me a little time to learn about your business, but with my admin experience, I’ll quickly get on top of the tasks you need help with, saving you time in the long run.
- Cultural Fit – Wondering if I get tradespeople? Absolutely! I once worked for a building contractor and even helped them get some airtime on the radio. I don’t need to know every detail of your work – I just need to know how to keep your customers happy and your admin running like clockwork.
- Dependency – We’ll agree on hours upfront, and you can adjust them as needed. Most clients prefer a few hours a day, a few times a week, as long as their customers are taken care of. If I’m unavailable for any reason, I’ll give you plenty of notice. The beauty of remote work is that I can work from anywhere when needed!
