3 Key Differences

Hours model vs. dedicated operator

Time etc sells blocks of hours starting at 10 per month. That works for occasional tasks. If you are running a real business operation - inbox management, client onboarding, reporting - you need consistent hours with someone who knows your systems. Pro Sulum VSAs work 20 or 40 hours per week, same person, every week, embedded in your business.

Task execution vs. Freedom Framework

Time etc assistants complete tasks you define. Pro Sulum VSAs are trained to observe, document, and replicate your processes. Kelsey Klein at The Klein Co did not want someone who needed constant direction. She needed someone who learned the business and ran the parts she could not scale alone. That is the VSA difference.

97% retention vs. assistant rotation risk

With an hours-based model, continuity depends on the same assistant being assigned. Pro Sulum has a 97% VSA retention rate after year one, the highest in the industry. Your VSA builds deeper institutional knowledge every month they stay. The Nesting Program ensures they are tested before they ever touch your account.

Choose Pro Sulum VSA if:
  • You need consistent weekly hours with someone who learns your business and builds your processes
  • You want a 97% retention rate and a VSA who gets better at your operation every month
Choose Time etc if:
  • You need fewer than 20 hours per month of support and do not want a full part-time hire
  • Your tasks are one-off projects rather than recurring operational work
