How to make outsourcing work for you
My partner, Deborah, and I are passionate about helping business owners achieve their full potential -- both in terms of profits, and lifestyle. That's why I'm really upset that so many small-business owners are missing out on the leverage of outsourcing.
These hard-working men and women have to keep more on their plates and live a life of lower quality because they have less free time than they could with outsourcing. They're suffering with higher costs, and often a lower quality of work, because they feel it's easier to use fewer specialized in-house employees than to work with an outsource agent.
That's a shame because we've seen incredible transformations take place for small-business owners who begin to apply proven outsourcing strategies.
Radical changes like:
» More free time for themselves and their families.
» More time and energy to work "ON" their business.
» More industry-leading innovation and greater creativity.
» Better quality customer service and continuity of sales.
The bottom line is that outsourcing enables you to quickly find and employ highly talented specialists to perform activities that would otherwise be impractical or cost-prohibitive to do with an in-house employee
So here's where an internal business blog can help
In our experience coaching small-business owners, what they struggle with the most is keeping a handle on their outsource agents. They want a way to manage, coordinate, and oversee both their in-house employee team and their outsource agents. This is where an internal business blog comes to the rescue.
With your own password-protected internal business blog, you'll gain a practical tool for collaboration and organization. When properly structured, it's a system that will allow you to harness the full power of outsourcing and avoid many of the common management and communication challenges associated with outsourcing.
When you apply business-blogging software in this way, you'll make management, coordination, and historical tracking a relative breeze. At the same time, you'll provide a collaborative online environment that keeps communication and creativity flowing in an organized manner.
Set a 30-day goal to learn more about outsourcing and get coached on how you can use it to increase both your profits and your free time. Then start harnessing the full power of outsourcing by creating a well-structured internal business blog.
When you put this team to work for you, you'll put yourself on the fast track to business growth and open up more free time at the same time.
