Riddle Me This, Lori: Why Should I Outsource?
A most excellent question, and you get a gold star today. Nice job!
Please allow me to tick off some reasons for you:
- You cannot handle everything on your own.
- You must ensure you’re giving your clients, and prospects, the quality face- and phone-time they deserve.
- Your family misses you!
- It’s super sexy to tell a client, “I’ll have my assistant contact you.”
- You are The Cheese, The Big Kahuna, The Chairman of the Board: For goodness sakes, act like it!
- Since you are “The Cheese,” it’s imperative you laser-focus on keeping your business in business. You can’t do that successfully if you’re constantly paper-pushing.
- All work and no play makes Jack & Jill really ticked off business owners!
- Speaking of play time, when was the last time you took a 2-hour lunch break or played hookey for the day? Months, correct? If you had a Virtual Assistant partnering with you, you would be able to call up your best friends and take them to lunch tomorrow.
- You don’t like handling the administrative stuff and you ignore it all. Instead, you desperately hope the admin faeries will swoop in overnight whilst you sleep and make it all better. Wrong answer, Business Owner! Those faeries, well, they don’t exist!
- Why should you outsource? Because you’ve reviewed thoroughly everything on my website, you know I’m right and you also know now is the time!
There are innumerable ways to respond to the “why” of outsourcing. Remember, there will be a pop quiz on this subject during your consultation!
