When running a successful business, it’s easy to get bogged down in daily tasks that eat away at your time and focus. You know the routine: chasing emails, juggling schedules, keeping books balanced, ensuring projects move forward—all while trying to keep your customers happy. But what if there was a way to overcome these operational and administrative burdens so you could get back to doing what you love? That’s where Bottleneck Distant Assistants comes in.
We offer specialized support roles, including Executive Assistants, Project Coordinators, Social Media Coordinators, Customer Service Representatives, Bookkeepers, and Success Managers, to help you delegate the tasks that slow you down and unlock your true potential. It’s important to understand that our Distant Assistants (DAs) don’t create strategies, drive marketing efforts, or directly close sales. Instead, they masterfully handle what we call Administrivia—the essential yet time-consuming administrative tasks that are critical to keeping your operations running smoothly.
What is Administrivia?
“Administrivia” refers to the mountain of small, everyday tasks that keep the wheels of your business turning but don’t contribute to your big-picture strategy or revenue generation. These tasks—answering emails, managing calendars, preparing reports, updating social media, processing payments—are necessary but often pull you away from focusing on growth, innovation, and leadership. With a Bottleneck Distant Assistant, you can delegate these tasks to someone who excels at them, freeing up your energy to focus on what truly matters.
Why We Offer These Roles
1. Executive Assistant:
DAs in this role ensure your day-to-day operations run seamlessly by managing schedules, coordinating meetings, organizing travel, and handling correspondence. They are your right hand, allowing you to stay focused on high-level decision-making.
2. Project Coordinator:
For businesses juggling multiple projects, a Project Coordinator is essential. They keep your projects on track, ensure deadlines are met, and facilitate communication between team members—so nothing falls through the cracks.
3. Social Media Coordinator:
While your marketing team drives strategy, your Social Media Coordinator executes the daily posts, tracks engagement, and manages your online presence. They keep your brand visible while you focus on larger goals.
4. Customer Service Representative:
Your customers expect prompt, reliable service, and a dedicated Customer Service Representative ensures just that. By handling inquiries, resolving issues, and delivering stellar service, they protect your reputation and keep customers happy.
5. Bookkeeper:
Managing your finances is crucial, but it’s time-consuming. A skilled Bookkeeper ensures that invoices are sent, bills are paid, and financial records are accurate, giving you peace of mind and more time to focus on growing your business.
6. Success Manager:
When it comes to maintaining long-term client relationships, a Success Manager can make all the difference. They ensure your clients are satisfied, follow up on renewals, and keep your business relationships strong—allowing you to focus on developing new opportunities.

Avoiding the Burnout Trap
Too often, businesses fall into the trap of overworking their staff. When someone is asked to handle too many responsibilities across too many different skill sets, burnout is inevitable. You’ve seen it happen before: someone gets overwhelmed, disengages, and leaves, leaving you with the headache of finding and training a replacement. We’ve designed our services to prevent this from happening.
By clearly defining the job role and ensuring your Distant Assistant only works within that scope, we create an environment where your assistant can excel—and you can rest easy knowing the job is being done right.
At Bottleneck, we believe in setting both you and your Distant Assistant up for success
