The Client Portal

Onboarding, handled.

The moment you sign on, you land here, your calm, guided home base for the first 60 days with your Distant Assistant. One place for your launch timeline, your resources, and the real person joining your team. No scattered emails. No guessing what happens next.

A system, not a transaction

Most outsourcing hands you a stranger and an invoice. We hand you a department.

The Client Portal is the proof. Every client gets the same guided start, the same real relationship, and the same clear path, because onboarding done right is the whole difference between hiring help and building a Delegation Department.

How you get in

The moment you pay your setup fee, the door opens.

There's nothing to chase down. Once your one-time Onboarding & Setup Fee (OBF) is paid, everything you need to get started comes to you, automatically.

1

Pay your setup fee

Your one-time Onboarding & Setup Fee is what kicks the whole process off. That's the only trigger we need.

2

Get your access, automatically

Instructions to register for your own portal land in your inbox right away. No waiting, no follow-up emails to send.

3

Prep, then meet your candidates

The portal gets you ready for your Introductory Call, where you meet your Distant Assistant candidates and choose the one who best fits you and your business.

4

Your DA leads day one

Because you've done your part, your chosen Distant Assistant arrives fully up to speed and runs your very first meeting. You show up; they lead.

You complete your onboarding responsibilities. Your DA shows up briefed and ready to lead. That's how a real start feels, not a scramble.

What the portal gives you

Everything you need to start strong, in one calm place.

A guided first 60 days

A visible timeline from prep week to a confident, fully-delegating relationship. Nothing is a mystery, and nothing slips.

You launch when you're ready

You pick your own day one. The moment you set it, your synced 60-day email sequences fire for you and your DA together.

Meet a real person

See your actual assistant, their role, skills, working hours, and where they're based. Never a faceless pool.

Everything in one place

Guides, worksheets, and templates, organized and ready, instead of a buried email thread you have to dig through.

Set how you communicate

Choose your primary channel, Slack, email, text, phone, WhatsApp, Teams, so your DA knows exactly how to reach you.

Real relationships, not transactions

The portal is built on the belief that delegation works when it's human. You're starting a relationship, not buying hours.

A guided first 60 days

From your first call to running without you.

Every stage is mapped. You always know where you are, what's next, and what your Delegation Department is building.

1

Introductory Call · meet your candidates

Meet your candidates and choose your fit

First, the portal gets you ready. Then you meet your Distant Assistant candidates on the Introductory Call and choose the one who best fits you and your business. You make the call, with everything you need to decide well.

2

Prep week · before day one

Set the stage on your terms

With your DA chosen, pick your launch date and complete your communication profile, all before a single task moves. You start when you're ready, not when a calendar says so.

3

Day 1 · kickoff

Your Distant Assistant starts

Priorities are set and the relationship begins. Your chosen DA leads the very first meeting, arriving trained and certified, not learning on your dime.

4

Week 1 · documentation

The painful tasks get captured first

Your DA documents the recurring work that keeps landing back on your desk, building your Workflow Manual click by click so the knowledge lives in your business, not just one person's head.

5

Weeks 2–4 · delegation ramps

Work starts leaving your plate

Tasks transfer for real. You review your first End of Day Reports and feel the first hours come back, the ones that were never yours to carry.

6

Days 31–60 · confident delegation

The rhythm sets in

Hand-offs become second nature. Your Delegation Department runs, and you spend your time on the work that actually gives you energy.

Beyond 60 · graduation

You become a Bottleneck Client

Sixty days in, you're fully up and running. Onboarding is complete, and you graduate into the Client phase of our relationship, supported for the long run.

Meet your Distant Assistant

A real person, with a name, a face, and a plan.

On your Introductory Call you meet your candidates as real people and choose your fit, never a faceless pool or a ticket queue. Once you've chosen, your assistant's full profile lives in your portal: their role, their working hours, where they're based, and a few words in their own voice about how they'll take work off your plate.

Built for alignment

Both sides walk in knowing the mission.

Communication is everything. The portal makes sure every client knows exactly what they're getting, and every Distant Assistant knows exactly what's expected, from day one.

Every Client knows what they're getting

  • A clear 60-day path with no surprises
  • The exact tasks to hand off, and when
  • Who their assistant is, before they start
  • Where to find every guide and template
  • What "fully delegating" actually looks like
In sync

Every DA knows what's expected

  • The client's goals and priorities, written down
  • Their preferred communication channel
  • The workflows to document first
  • Working style, hours, and cadence
  • What a great first 60 days looks like

When both sides start aligned, delegation works. That's the whole point.

60Days

The graduation moment

Day 60: welcome to Client status.

Completing your first 60 days isn't just a date on a calendar, it's a milestone. You've successfully onboarded, your Delegation Department is running, and you graduate from new customer to Bottleneck Client. The portal marks the moment, and the relationship keeps going from there.

Are you ready?

Your portal is waiting.

This is what your first 60 days look like. The next step is a quick conversation about your business, and what we'd take off your plate first.
