Operations Built for Longevity

Protecting your focus. Managing complex calendar Tetris, scheduling client meetings, booking travel, and triaging your primary email inbox daily.

Ongoing Customer Support

Acting as the frontline for your brand. Responding to Zendesk tickets, managing live chat, processing returns, and maintaining a 5-star customer experience.

Recurring Marketing Ops

Keeping your marketing engine running. Scheduling social media posts in Buffer/Later, formatting weekly newsletters, and maintaining CRM hygiene.

Data Entry & Reporting

Processing repetitive data tasks. Updating Google Sheets, tracking weekly KPIs, migrating files, and ensuring your databases remain pristine.

Bookkeeping & Invoicing

Supporting your financial health. Generating monthly invoices, categorizing expenses in QuickBooks, and politely following up on Accounts Receivable.

Uncompromising Quality Control

Every task executed by your retained VA is monitored and audited by your dedicated Project Manager. Zero management overhead for you.

The Smart Choice for Growing Teams

Why business owners choose Sagedoer's managed retainer model over hiring random freelancers off Upwork.

Ad-Hoc Freelancers

Availability Issues

Freelancers juggle multiple clients. They might not be available when you urgently need them.

Constant Retraining

High turnover means you spend hours re-explaining your SOPs to new workers every few months.

Management Burden

You must act as the HR manager, constantly QAing their work and tracking their hours.

Platform Markups

Paying up to 20% in hidden fees and bidding costs just to use the platform.

Frequently Asked Questions

A retainer is a reservation of our team's time and capacity for your business. Because we guarantee that time exclusively for you, hours do not roll over to the next month. However, your Project Manager will proactively work with you to suggest delegatable tasks to ensure you maximize your investment every month.

Yes. When you sign up for a retainer, a dedicated VA is assigned to your account so they can learn your brand, voice, and internal systems intimately. Additionally, your Project Manager cross-trains a backup VA so that if your primary VA is sick or takes leave, your operations never miss a beat.

We integrate directly into your preferred workflow. You can invite your VA and your Project Manager to your company's Slack workspace, Microsoft Teams, Asana, or ClickUp. You can assign tasks directly, and they will communicate as a seamless extension of your in-house team.

The PM acts as your Operations Director. Instead of you micromanaging the VA, you give your goals or SOPs to the PM. The PM trains the VA, randomly audits their emails or data entry to ensure accuracy, and tracks their hours to ensure you are getting maximum value. This oversight is provided at zero extra cost.
