Tips to Get Help

The notion of outsourcing may sound alluring to many; however, it helps to note that the process requires careful planning to help avoid various hassles. To help with your planning and growth through outsourcing, here are some useful tips for working with outsourcing companies and virtual assistants (VAs):

1. Selecting the Company – The foremost step in the process of outsourcing services is the selection of the company. Be specific and inquisitive about the company, you are going to delegate your work. Carefully go through the company profile and check out its history. If possible, always go for the companies referred to you by your friends or colleagues.

2. Snatch the Best Deal, Not Necessarily the Cheapest – With the booming outsourcing phenomenon, make sure that you are not overpaying for your work. Thoroughly search for the cost effective and quality service providers across the net. However, be careful of companies who offer to work at throwaway prices as their reliability at times may be doubtful.

3. Setting Your Priorities – Make a priority list of the tasks needed to be performed by the outsourcing company or VA. This will minimize any sort of ambiguity during later stages of work. Prioritization also ensures smooth functioning of the process and thereby helps in successful completion of the project.

4. Defining the Task– After setting priorities for your tasks, be specific while defining the task to the outsourcing company or VA. Discuss your perception of the project and always be open to any form of queries from the other side.

5. Convey the Quality and Deadlines of the Task – Clearly communicate the quality you are looking for in your task with examples when possible, and express any timelines for your project to your VA or outsourcing company. This will also help the outsourcing company to deploy optimal workforce planning for your project.

6. Stay Connected – Keep in touch with your company or VA as your tasks get accomplished. Check progress reports of your project work. Confirm and share positive and helpful feedback along the way, as this will also help the outsourcing company in clearing any possible doubts at any stage of the project.
