Previous: Job Seekers Flunk The Social Networking IQ Test Is your business stagnating because you just don't have enough hours in the day to do all the things you should be doing to grow your business? Do you work all day and part of the night and still not get everything done? Do you find you don't have the time you want to spend with your family and/or friends? Those are problems many business owners deal with day after day. But smart business owners know they don't have to work like that. The way to reduce the hours they work and improve their business is to bring in help – and one of the most affordable ways to get that help is to outsource work. And the good news is there is an army of independent contractors and small companies both in the US and abroad who can do the work you need done. Besides letting you reclaim your time, outsourcing work can provide your business with capabilities you, yourself don't possess… skill that you need to get jobs done – but don't need regularly or on a full-time basis. | Comments (3) Comments As a web designer I continually get emails from indian companies wishing me to outsource them work…these emails are generally in the worst possible english and half the time make no sense, my question is simply, “how can they expect me to look favorably on outsourcing if they can’t get simple ideas across?” The calls I get from these same companies are infinitely worse than the emails i might add. Posted by: Matt Hymes on November 19, 2009 at 4:14 PM Outsourcing doesn’t have to mean giving work to someone in a different country than the one you live in. It just means sending the work “out” of your own company to be done. We do it here at BusinessKnowHow.com. We outsource jobs that require specific skills that we don’t have on staff and don’t need often enough to hire an employee to perform. As far as language and communications go, the problem isn’t related to any one country or language. If someone in India outsourced work to a web developer in the US who only spoke English, the same language problem would arise - in reverse. Same is true if someone in France outsources work to web developer in Spain who doesn’t speak and write French fluently. So in outsourcing, one has to start by considering what needs to be done and how it needs to be done. Then it’s a matter of choosing the company that can do the work in the way you need it done at the price and time frame that meets your needs. Posted by: Janet Attard |

In my experience with our cleaning business consulting firm, it is too small to scale correctly. I spend more time training and assisting help than it takes time to just do it myself. I guess it depends on how complicated and time consuming your business model is.
