The honest answer is: it depends on how much repetitive work you do today. The good news is that you can estimate it in ten minutes.
Step 1: List the repeat tasks
Write down everything you or your team does over and over: replying to new inquiries, writing quotes, scheduling, sending reminders, chasing unpaid quotes, updating the CRM, asking for reviews, building reports.
Step 2: Estimate the time each takes per week
Be rough. Fifteen minutes here and an hour there adds up faster than most people expect. As a reference point, two hours a day of repetitive work is about 500 hours a year.
Step 3: Mark what follows a pattern
Tasks that follow a pattern are good candidates for automation. Tasks that need real judgment or a human relationship should stay with a person. The goal is to move the repetitive work to software so people spend time on the work only they can do.
Step 4: Count the revenue side too
Time is only half of it. Slow replies and missed follow-ups cost sales. Faster response and consistent follow-up recover revenue you were already close to winning.
