5 Things You Didn’t Know Your Small Business Could Outsource

March 27, 2020

The advent of doing business over the internet has allowed for a massive boom of highly specialized services—and even in the realm of brick-and-mortar stores, surprising new business strategies are born every day. Your industry is your passion; strategic outsourcing will allow you to keep your focus on the parts you are passionate about.

Waste Management

Let’s say your consideration of your business’s garbage needs starts and ends with hauling it out to the municipal dumpster out back. If that’s you, you may be surprised at how much value you’re losing to inefficient waste processing. There are entire markets now for recyclable materials; if your business produces a large amount of paper or plastic waste, you can recover value from gathering recyclables and selling them to polymer manufacturers or packing companies. There are consultants available to help you manage your entire waste management process so that you can keep your head out of the garbage and focused on your business.

Phone Receiving

Eventually, every business will need a phone line, and every phone line needs someone to answer it. This is more or less critical depending on your industry, but if you provide a service or are otherwise in a business where client and customer relations are paramount, you’re going to need someone manning the phones. Thankfully, you don’t have to open your own call center. Instead, you can use virtual answering services to field calls for you, freeing up your critical staff to focus on what you hired them to do.

Administrative Assistance

Good admin talent is expensive and hard to find, but poor admin can slow your entire business down. It’s even worse if your business is subject to seasonal cycling; striking the administrative balance between your slow months and the months where you make most of your revenue is delicate, sometimes bordering on impossible. The common office temp has been around for decades, of course, but a surprising amount of admin work can now be done through the Internet, which will save you margin while offering convenience and flexible billing options.

Web Presence

Assuming you didn’t build your website yourself, you’re probably already familiar with the general business practices of web design. But the rise of the cloud means more of your Internet strategy than ever can be handled remotely, freeing you up to focus time and resources on the areas where you and your staff can deliver the most value. Beyond just the website, you can find services to manage your IT, payment security, and even internal communications.

Consulting

The above services are really just the tip of the iceberg: vital expertise in any industry can be found via the Internet. One upside of the staggering amount of information available online is that, regardless of your industry and your specific challenges, you can find help from someone who has encountered the issue before. It’s just a matter of finding the right person to trawl through the massive volume of information for you. Research and experience cost money, of course, but consultants can offer key solutions that might just save your business in hard times.

No matter your field, there are parts of your business that you love and parts of your business you could do without. In this era, it is possible to tailor your business strategy via smart outsourcing to keep you focused on the things you like doing and are good at. By keeping your focus tight and leaving the rest to the experts, you maximize the value you and your staff can deliver—and get to spend more time doing the things you love.
