Could Outsourcing Help Your Business Grow?

Are you struggling to attract new customers, is your team overstretched, or have your sales stalled? If you’re on a mission to grow your business, and you’re not quite where you want to be, outsourcing could offer incredible benefits. In this guide, we’ll discuss the advantages of outsourcing and help you decide whether it could drive your company forward.

What is outsourcing?

Outsourcing involves working with external agencies, other businesses and freelancers rather than undertaking tasks in-house. Outsourcing offers an alternative to hiring new employees. Rather than adding to your team, you can work with individuals or an agency or company to access services for your business. 

The advantages of outsourcing

Outsourcing has become increasingly popular. Today, businesses of all sizes outsource. One of the main benefits of outsourcing is the opportunity to improve your performance and increase your chances of achieving key business objectives by working with companies or freelancers and self-employed individuals who offer the services or possess the skills you are looking for. Outsourcing gives you the opportunity to access services and skills you don’t have in-house without hiring employees. It can be a cost-effective alternative to recruiting members of staff and it also saves time, as you don’t have to train employees or complete inductions. 

Another major benefit of outsourcing is freeing up time for your core team to focus on the jobs that complement their skill set and underpin the day-to-day running of the business. If your employees are doing jobs that are not included in their job description, for example, this will eat into the time they spend on the most important tasks and it could also impact morale. With outsourcing, your team can concentrate on priority jobs that are relevant to their roles. 

Choosing what to outsource

Choosing what to outsource is one of the key factors that impact the success of outsourcing. It is essential to consider which tasks or services to outsource carefully and to hire the right people. If you’re looking to boost sales, increase online traffic, enhance your online presence and bring in new customers for a clothing or beauty brand, a hotel chain or a new restaurant, for example, it makes sense to think about hiring a digital marketing agency if you don’t have marketing experts on your team. If you run a medical or dental practice, you may wish to think about outsourcing waste removal and cleaning and enlisting the services of a virtual receptionist or call handling company to field calls out of hours and ensure that your employees can focus on spending time with patients, contacting clients and keeping the business running smoothly. 

Finding the right company or person for the job

When you outsource, it’s crucial to make sure that you find the best company or people for the job. The agency or individual you work with will represent your brand in some capacity and you want to achieve optimum results. Read reviews and client testimonials, research agencies and companies, view examples of previous work and look at the business’ track record. Meet with representatives, talk about the services on offer and compare quotes. It’s important to have confidence in the companies you work with. It’s best to opt for the quote that represents the best value for money, rather than automatically going for the cheapest option. Look for agencies that offer more, provide tailored, customer-focused services, and have excellent reviews. 

Deciding whether outsourcing is best for your business

Outsourcing can be hugely beneficial for businesses across all sectors, but it may not always be the best option. Try to avoid outsourcing any jobs that are critical to the success of the business and choose wisely when it comes to hiring agencies or individuals. Look for companies that offer services or access to skills that will enhance your business, create new opportunities and help you to gain a competitive advantage. Analyze your existing team, highlight gaps and areas for improvement and see how competitors use outsourcing. Take your time to meet people, discuss your requirements and find out more about agencies before you make a final decision. Monitor progress, track performance and don’t be afraid to ask about making changes if you feel that the service you receive could be better. 

More and more businesses are outsourcing. Outsourcing involves working with other businesses or agencies to free up time for your core team and gain access to skills and services you don’t have in-house. If you’re looking to grow your business, you may benefit from outsourcing. Think carefully about the tasks you want to outsource, carry out extensive research and take your time to find the best people for the job.
