3 Outsourcing Myths And What You Should Really Know

When it comes to outsourcing, different people have different opinions. And, some of such opinions are held tightly in ignorance. This article will focus on some outsourcing myths and the real truth about such myths. So, keep reading to learn more.

Myth #1: Outsourcing

is only for Big the Corporations Well, at the inception of this business solution called outsourcing, this myth was completely true. Then, only the big corporations and high class individuals could afford to implement outsourcing. It wasn’t within the reach of medium and small businesses. But, thankfully, the advent of the internet has eliminated this myth completely! It doesn’t matter the size your business, you can now use outsourcing in so many beneficial ways that include cost cutting, access to larger skill pool, and affordable expertise. The internet eliminated the big gap and provided more outsourcing vendors, both onshore and offshore. In fact, offshore outsourcing has become even more popular as it facilitates far better cost saving.

Outsourcing cost has now become highly competitive as there are thousands of providers. The best part is that you can bid for the best rate with just a click of the button and from your comfort zone.

Myth #2: Outsourcing is Drying up Job at Home

Another outsourcing myth that is indeed causing a lot of hullabaloos recently is that offshore outsourcing is taking jobs away from home, rendering many citizens jobless. Well, this is not really true, depending on how you look at it. The truth is, anyone who is jobless at home has probably not distinguished himself from the pack. If you are really an authority in what you do, there’s a job waiting for you at home and you can even be the one dictating the pace in terms of remuneration.

Besides, the companies who outsource jobs abroad also have a portion that they reserve at home. The whole truth is; you can’t stop businesses from outsourcing jobs offshore since it provides them with significant cost saving benefits.

Myth #3: Quality is not always guaranteed

The truth is, whether or not quality is guaranteed depends on the person hiring. Even if you decide to use in-house staff, things can still go wrong if you did not hire the right persons for the task. So, if you are not getting the desired quality from outsourcing, it’s simply because you did not employ due diligence in hiring an outsourcing vendor.

So, you should lay these outsourcing myths to rest from henceforth!

What Clients Say

Larry Steinhouse

I am so amazed at the professionalism of 123Employee but even more important, Cassie, as my Virtual Assistant, is wonderful! She really takes on the tasks with full responsibility. She even makes suggestions and researches ideas that will bring me business or traffic to my website. The only thing she can’t do is bring me coffee! Our Mall Stars Video Production Studios is a concept that we expect to go national, and frankly I believe that with Cassie as my Virtual Assistant and Daven’s company 123Employee, my chances of making that happen will greatly increase!

She took seven thousand Gmail contacts and sorted them into folders. It was amazing! Everyday she checks my inbox, filters things, she sorts them, she gets rid of the junk, she took my PDF copies of all my expenses for the last year's bank statement, and categorized all of them. Amazing! She saves me so much time which is unbelievable. I have to ask her, she comes to me when she’s done with the project, she says Collin what else do you have for me? I mean when else do you ever get that kind of treatment from somebody? I had to go back to Daven with a long list of stuff to figure out. Oh! she can do this, she can do that and then I give her another project plus the ongoing stuff she has. So you gotta get 123Employee, check it out, call Daven, it will be the best thing you’ve ever done.

She has helped build a database of customers. Right now I’m here at Super Teaching at CEO Space, I take my electronic notes everyday, I highlight the parts that are action items, I email her my notes everyday and she creates another visual mind map of all the actions I need to take.

I am just so grateful that I came across her and she’s going to save me a lot of time and money.

I’ve been working with 123 for a couple of years now, and I can tell you they have made all the difference in the success of my business and the reason my business has grown and continuesto generate more and more income. Now one of the things that’s been great is it’s freed me up from having to do all the tasks that I simply just don’t have time to do. It allowed me just to focus on the IGAs or income generating activities in my business.

Casey Eberhart

I got to tell you, before we got involved in 123Employee and outsourcing some of our scheduling and inbound and outbound calls and our social media, we had an office that was completely disorganized and messy. Just to give you a quick example, 6 months ago my Twitter account had a couple of thousand followers, now as of today I’m in about 20,000. You can check that out, very easy for you to go check out, you can follow me on Twitter and figure that out all on your own and I got to tell you the outsourced employees over there are friendly, they’re fantastic, they get done what they say they’re going to do in less time that I could ever find somebody here to do it. I highly, highly recommend using 123Employee to take care of all of your tasks.
