About The Company
What They Needed
Savings Comparison to a US hire.
Local ISA (Dallas market):
- Base salary: $60,000-$65,000
- Health insurance: $8,000-$10,000
- Payroll taxes (FICA, unemployment): $5,000-$7,000
- Total annual cost: $73,000-$82,000
Maria (remote hire):
- Annual salary: $28,200
- Benefits: $0 (not required)
- Payroll taxes: $0 (1099 contractor)
- Total annual cost: $28,200
Savings: $45,000-$54,000 per year
That's enough to:
→ Hire a second ISA and double your capacity
→ Add $40K to your marketing budget
→ Build 6+ months of cash runway
It's not just about saving money.
It's about what you DO with those savings.
In their words:
"Honestly? We almost didn't pull the trigger. Hiring someone we'd never meet in person for one of our most critical roles felt crazy. But after the first month, we knew Maria was the real deal. She's more consistent than any local ISA we've had. She doesn't call in sick. She doesn't job-hop after 6 months. She just executes. Our conversion rate doubled. We used the savings to hire a second remote ISA and pump more money into Facebook ads. If we were still paying $75K per ISA, we'd still be stuck at 50 deals a year."
