Can you profit from outsourcing?

Absolutely you can!

When you were setting up your business, did the prospect of the peripheral activities such as your admin, paperwork, bookkeeping, invoicing, credit control etc; fill you with joy or fear?

It is fantastic to be able to do what you love and work for yourself in your own business. I should know, I do it every day. Unless you are a Virtual Assistant it is unlikely that admin fills you with joy, yet it is a necessary and vital part of business that must be completed and kept on top of. So how is that working for you?

For many business owners this isn’t where their skills, knowledge or interests lie and so they may take some time to get around to dealing with these tasks. In neglecting the engine room of the business, you put it, and all you have worked for at risk. One example is not sending invoices in good time and not having good credit control processes in place which will affect your cash flow. Maybe you find it difficult to chase clients for late payments?

If you don’t know how to, don’t like or don’t want to do the admin for your business, but do nothing about it, it’s likely you will become stressed and worry about it. This in turn can impact the running of your business and may seep into your personal life. Disorganisation is bad for business.

By outsourcing this work to a professional Virtual Assistant, you can do what you do best and what you love; concentrate on growing your business and revelling in your new found ability to become more efficient and productive, win more business, make more money and look after your customers. This strategic partnership is a win-win for both parties. Your success is your Virtual Assistant’s success.

I also understand that it can be hard to let go of some control in your business and so it is important to find the right Virtual Assistant for you and your business – one you are confident you can build a great relationship with and ultimately trust with your business. It doesn’t cost anything to make enquires and seek references or ask to speak to current clients who receives the same type of service that you are looking for.

Remember, you don’t have to train or provide equipment for a professional and experienced VA; you have no overheads. You simply pay for the work done - a small price to pay for the potential this gives you.

When you are able to free up your time and your mind to concentrate on building your business, there’s nothing to stop you!
