The Send-Delete Employee


You assign a task. Send the email.

Then delete it from your mental to-do list.

Zero follow-up needed. Zero micromanaging. Zero stress.

That’s a “send-delete” employee.

I learned this term from an 8-Figure Franchisee last week at our Philly event.

Most owners have the opposite.

They have “send-follow up” employees.

Send a task. Worry about it. Check in twice. Redo half of it yourself.

That’s not delegation. That’s expensive babysitting.

The bottleneck in most businesses isn’t marketing, systems, or capital.

It’s the owner who can’t let go.

“I can do it faster myself.”

“They won’t do it right.”

“I need to stay involved to ensure quality.”

Sound familiar?

Every time you say this, you’re choosing to stay small.

What send-delete employees look like:

  • You assign a project Monday. It’s done by Friday. Done right.
  • They ask clarifying questions upfront, not halfway through.
  • They bring you solutions, not just problems.
  • They own outcomes, not just activities.

Send-Delete means someone with high accountability + get shit done.

They do what they say they’re going to do.

This builds trust so you can just send and delete.

Freeing up mental space to focus on bigger goals

Stop asking “How do I stay in control?”

Start asking “How do I find send-delete employees who can run the business without me?”

Your business grows when you (the owner) become irrelevant for daily operations.

Send-delete employees make that possible.

They are out there looking for a better opportunity.

It’s your job to find them.

Cheers!

"I can’t afford to hire until I grow." "I’ll hire the next sales rep after we hit $X" "Just one more location before we hire a COO" Sound familiar? This came up three times during the Philly mastermind last week. Different owners. Same exact trap. Including me! For years, I told myself the exact same thing. Now I’ve learned how to push myself out of scarcity and into growth Waiting for “perfect timing” guarantees you’ll always be behind The math most owners get wrong: You're currently at...

On Thursday in Philly, something clicked. 10 franchise owners meeting for 10 hours. First, my office. Then, perfectly cooked filets at my favorite local restaurant. 🤤 Zero fluff. This was the first time I’ve done a mastermind like this, and the feedback was unanimous: 10/10 stars. Here’s why it worked: Small group = deep impact. Instead of dozens of people fighting for airtime, each owner got 30+ minutes in the hot seat. Real wins. Real numbers. Real challenges. Real solutions. The magic...
