Business Delegation: Your Path to Freedom and Growth
Table of Contents
Getting Started
What is a Virtual Business Manager (VBM)?
A Virtual Business Manager (VBM) is your strategic partner in business delegation, helping you lead your business, not just run it. Your VBM provides oversight, accountability, and implementation support, working alongside you to streamline operations so you can focus on growth.
How does working with The Lever differ from traditional outsourcing?
Unlike traditional outsourcing, where you delegate tasks to a remote team, The Lever’s business delegation approach integrates into your business at a leadership level. A VBM doesn’t just take tasks off your plate, she helps build systems, structure, and leadership capacity, ensuring your business runs efficiently without relying on you for every decision.
How do I know if a VBM is right for me?
If you are stuck in daily operations, making all the decisions, or struggling to scale, a VBM could be the missing piece. The best way to find out is to book a Reset Call, where we can discuss your specific challenges.
What type of businesses benefit most from The Lever?
We work primarily with B2B and service-based businesses with 10-20 employees and $1M-$10M in annual revenue. Our clients are established but have hit a ceiling, needing better systems and leadership support to scale sustainably.
What should I prepare for the Reset Call?
There is no need to prepare anything formal, just be ready to discuss what feels overwhelming in your business and where you would like to be in six to twelve months.
What does the onboarding process look like?
We take you through a structured onboarding process, focusing on:
- Clarity & Prioritisation – Understanding your immediate challenges
- Delegation & Implementation – Building systems to free up your time
- Leadership Shift – Ensuring you step into your true leadership
About Our Services
Can I choose how involved my VBM is in my business?
Yes. Whether you need high-level strategic guidance or hands-on implementation support, we tailor our approach based on your leadership style and business needs.
How is a VBM different from hiring an in-house manager?
- More flexible & scalable – No overhead costs, no hiring stress
- Access to a full team – You gain access to specialists across operations, marketing, and finance
- Leadership-focused support – Your VBM ensures you stay in your zone of genius, focusing on strategy rather than daily tasks
What does 'Freedom to Lead' mean in practice?
It means stepping away from daily management and focusing on:
- Vision & strategy
- High-value decision-making
- Scaling your business without sacrificing your time
Working With Us
Will I lose control of my business by delegating?
Your VBM complements your existing team, ensuring they are structured effectively, empowered to take ownership, and aligned with your business goals.
How do you ensure a smooth transition during onboarding?
Depending on the service, the structured onboarding process spans the first 90 days, ensuring:
- Priorities are set from day one
- Systems are implemented in a way that works for your business
- Regular check-ins keep you informed and in control
How are tasks prioritised between my VBM and the support team?
Your VBM acts as the conductor, delegating tasks based on expertise, urgency, and impact. This ensures you do not have to manage who is doing what – your VBM ensures everything is handled seamlessly.
