"Assistants are too expensive." Compared with what?
It is easy to compare the cost of assistants with spending nothing. But the work still has to get done, either by you after hours or by people you hire.
Hiring is one way to get it done. Here is what that costs.
What it would cost to hire the team
Here is what seven roles would cost to hire full time in the United States. Marketing takes two people, a writer and a PR and social media specialist, so that makes eight hires.
| Role | US occupation used for pay data | Median wage per year | Full cost per year with benefits and payroll costs |
|---|---|---|---|
| Business development | Sales Managers | $148,270 | $211,814 |
| Proposal manager | Business Operations Specialists, All Other | $83,050 | $118,643 |
| IT and web developer | Web Developers | $92,650 | $132,357 |
| Legal operations support (paralegal level, under your lawyer's direction) | Paralegals and Legal Assistants | $62,890 | $89,843 |
| VP and chief of staff | General and Operations Managers | $105,770 | $151,100 |
| Marketing writer | Writers and Authors | $76,910 | $109,871 |
| PR and social media | Public Relations Specialists | $74,750 | $106,786 |
| Administrative assistant | Secretaries and Administrative Assistants | $47,540 | $67,914 |
| Total, 8 hires | $691,830 | $988,328 |
That is about $0.99 million a year before recruiting, office space, or local pay differences. Wages are national medians. Full costs are estimates.
Bot Galaxy is not a law firm. Our assistants do not give legal advice and do not replace a lawyer. The legal operations row uses paralegal pay because the assistants help organize records and track contract dates and deadlines for you and your own lawyer.

Your command center in the palm of your hand
Your assistants report to a command center, the BOCC, and it works on your phone. Open it anywhere and you see what needs you today: approvals waiting for your yes, deadlines, new leads, and what is blocked. Every item has an Act button, so you can open the source, snooze, mark it done, or hand it to an assistant right there.
Set up for your work
Your assistants are set up with sales and proposal routines before they start, and you can adjust them as you go.
What you get
- Your assistants work inside the accounts you connect.
- A free call to start. We look at your work and tell you honestly whether it fits.
The honest part
This is worth it only if you use it every day. Assistants help most when they handle real work every day. If you open it once a month, keep your money.
