Increased Efficiency

When starting a business, many entrepreneurs may fall into the trap of trying to do too much; attempting to tackle every problem single-handedly, no matter what it is. Admirable as this may be, any successful small business founder will tell you that there are only so many hours in the day, and the task of trying to grow a company entirely off your own back can quickly become overwhelming. Delegation is therefore key.

 

Being pulled between different tasks can be detrimental to both productivity and mental health. While multitasking may feel more productive, constantly changing tasks can be mentally exhausting, potentially leading to poorer standards of work. Being unable to give individual tasks the attention they require can also lead to important projects taking longer to complete, raising stress levels throughout the company.

 

Delegate to ON Outsource and increase efficiency.

Which area would be most beneficial to outsource?

Of course, it’s also incredibly important to carefully decide which areas of the business will provide the most benefit from being outsourced, in order to ensure that limited funds are being used efficiently.

 

A great place to start for business owners is to take a step back and assess exactly which tasks – although necessary –take up too much precious time or are difficult for the business to perform to a consistently high standard. Our team at ON Outsource will help you identify the right processes you need to delegate to us.

 

An often-overlooked, but particularly vital, support task which can be outsourced is customer service. Trusting this crucial process to an untrained, potentially overstretched in-house team can have catastrophic consequences for customer loyalty, with more than three in four (76%) of customers evaluating customer service as a key parameter of how a brand values them.

 

It’s imperative to consider the time savings which can be made by outsourcing customer service. Businesses without a dedicated customer service department can find their working day being constantly disrupted by a deluge of customer enquiries, which can be overwhelming for the company, and lead to a poor experience for the customer.

 

n addition, customer service call volumes can vary greatly, meaning that an in-house team may be team idle during quieter periods. If you instead outsource to an external team, you can choose to only pay for the services you receive, leading to cost savings which can be vital for startups.

 

At the other end of the spectrum, peak periods such as the holiday season can prove too much for in-house teams. Outsourced customer contact centres are far more agile and scalable, able to quickly add extra manpower and resources when required to ensure that they can easily and effectively handle every eventuality.
