In this concise advisory monologue, Kelly Alhooie breaks down the financial case for hiring an administrative assistant. She notes that a full‑time admin typically costs about $20 per hour, equating to roughly $800 per week or $3,000‑$3,500 per month. She then compares that expense to the revenue generated by a standard $250 per session, 12‑session package, which totals $3,000. Kelly argues that if the admin can secure just one new client and sell them a full plan of care, the admin’s salary is effectively offset. Beyond direct sales, she highlights additional admin contributions—marketing, social‑media management, and overall sales support—that can bring more clients through the door. The core takeaway is that the potential return from a single conversion, plus ancillary marketing benefits, makes hiring an admin a financially sensible investment.

don't know if you can hire an admin. Well, let's break it down today so that you understand if you can afford one, because it's actually probably costing you more not having one. So let's break it down. Number one, admins typically are around $20 an hour, and with that, they're about $800 a week for a full-time admin. Times that by, by, you know, 4 weeks in a month, you're sitting around $3,000 to $3,500 in one month that you pay an admin. So if you charge $250 a session and you see people for a full package, which would be 12 visits or a full plan of care, that's $3,000. So if you— do you think that if the admin were to bring in one client and convert them over the phone, and then you said, you know what, we're going to solve your problem, we're going to book you through this entire package, and you sell one package That basically counteracts how much that we are paying out. So here's my question to you. Do you believe that you could get one client in the door and sell them a full plan of care to actually make up for a full admin being on board? That's going to help with marketing, that's going to help with your social media, that's going to help you with sales, that's going to help you get people in the door. Do you think that's worth it? Hell yeah, I'll take that trade any day.
