- Nevermark 5y agoOr they are arbitraging a time availability and value imbalance to the voluntary benefit of both. You are a CEO and have five minutes to prepare for a first remote meeting with a potential client that could result in years of business down the road. What is the time worth to you, to have someone else get the coffee you like? The important thing ... is treating the person doing services for you as important too, in pay and respect. Because the five minutes they save you by being reliable are worth a lot.
