The value of time….
A Simple ROI Calculation: What if your time is worth at least $100/hr?
(We know its worth more!)
And you spend at least 5 hrs/week on email alone (Forget all the other highly valuable services you provide!)
That’s 2.5 days/month or $2000
If MyCCA.net simply cuts your email time down to 2 hr/week
(Forget all the other time saving features you use!)
That’s 1.5 day/month of time savings, or $1200 in
one month!It’s important to value your time and value the tools you use to save time and help you be the professional you are.
The value of MyCCA.net
Why?
