I wanted to write about some important outsourcing points that a lot of folks
don’t seem to understand.
It is my goal to share some of my experiences with you so you can
save money, get your work done without a hassle, and enjoy life
while your business makes you money.
So my first point is this. Outsourcing your back office chores
is a lot like hiring a trusted employee or for that matter
getting married 🙂
You have to go into the relationship prepared to do your part.
That means putting in the time to figure things out and for
training.
Figuring things out is not easy at all, especially if your business
is very new.
Then you will want to find someone to outsource to
who can actually help you figure things out.
Second, price is very important. Price is how much you get versus
how much you pay.
Price is how many customers a bad outsourcer
loses.
How many orders they botch up. Or how many sales they
actually get for you that you otherwise would have lost.
You know the drill: you will always pay.
But you want to be clear on the real price.
I’ll make that clear
when I tell you some stories later on (and what stories!)
Third, outsourcing is an evolving process.
Nobody ever gets it right because as soon as you do, you add some products or your
market changes and it’s back to school!
We never stop going to school and part of what you have to expect to pay for is that
constant change that doesn’t directly make you money, but is necessary anyhow.
Okay, enough,
