Top Tips on Outsourcing for Small Businesses

Top Tips on Outsourcing for Small Businesses | Business Improvement and Social media | Scoop.it

Many traditional roles that were historically done in-house are now being outsourced, and that can include anything from being a PA to project managing. It's a great way for businesses to keep costs down during the current economic climate and it also helps those who have been made redundant flourish and grow their own businesses. As workforces have become smaller, remaining employees are all pushed for time, and the demands of the business can often mean they lose track of keeping up to date with things such as blogs, newsletters and their website.

It's hard to be a small business owner and keep a hundred different balls juggling at the same time. How can you focus on sales when you're not doing any lead generation activity?

But how does an SME know that the person they're outsourcing to is any good, particularly if they have no testimonials?

Let's look at some of the basics you can research before committing to a further meeting.
