"During Q4 conference season I delivered 14 keynotes in 6 weeks. My SageDoer assistant handled flight bookings, hotel late check-outs, A/V tech riders, and slide deck customizations without a single hiccup. It saved me at least 20 hours of pure travel anxiety each week."
"Managing inbound inquiries from corporate event planners and speaking bureaus used to slip through the cracks while I was on stage. SageDoer qualifies honorariums and responds within 90 minutes. Our booked fee revenue grew by 35% in our first quarter."
"Having a single dedicated Project Manager oversee our Porchlight bulk book shipments, event invoicing, and CapCut stage reels at $6/hour has saved our office over $60,000 compared to hiring an on-site executive assistant."
"My assistant edits 60-second video clips from my keynotes and posts them to LinkedIn twice a week. We’ve secured three direct Fortune 500 corporate bookings directly from those clips without paying a single bureau commission."
