Some Outsourcing Tips You Can Use





Fusionology - Building Your Organization On Autopilot




Here are some tips that can help you get more out of your outsourcing.

1.      Outsource, but Have Knowledge about it – Even if you outsource something, make sure that you know the fundamentals about it. Outsourcing does not mean you will wash your hands completely off the particular task. If you are outsourcing the development of your business website, learn a bit beforehand about how it is done. This will ensure that you keep on track of things and get a better quality job.

2.     Mention Your Budget in Advance – This saves time. If people know what you are willing to offer, only those for whom the payment is acceptable will come to you.

3.      Mention Your Timeframe – Make sure you tell in your project post how many days you want the project to be finished in, and repeat it at the end. This keeps people on their toes. It is always better to keep a few days free so that you can review the work and ask for revisions if needed.

4.      Speak about the Revisions – Always mention in your project posts that you will expect revisions. Revisions are generally free, if they are justifiable. Mention that you will pay only after reviewing the deliverables and if they are all right. This saves a lot of discussion later on.

5.     Mention the Mode of Payment – People who work online expect to be paid in different ways. You must, therefore, mention what mode you will be able to pay them in. This solves confusion and you can select a worker you are comfortable with whom you are comfortable on payment terms.

6.     Insist on Good Communication – When the project is going on, daily communication is good to have. Mention in your project that you will want the selected bidder to communicate to you through email or chat frequently.

7.     Ask for Samples and Paid Samples – Samples reflect the quality of the bidder's past work. Insist on seeing them. However, given the nature of the Internet, you cannot be sure what they are showing you is their own work. Hence, give them a short job to do first and pay them for it. If that satisfies you, you can consider selecting them for bigger assignments in future.

8.     Spell Out the Rules – Tell the bidders in your post that the work will follow all work-for-hire rules. That means, they do not have any rights for this work once they are paid for it. Make sure the bidder understands that before you select them.

9.     Be Friendly with your Staff – This works. Because you do not know the person on a personal note, you can be as friendly with them through your communication. Give them a virtual pat on their back for good job and bonuses if you deem fit. However, make sure they are doing a good job for you!

10.   Review Them – When the project is completed, you can review the worker and they can review you too. Do not miss out this opportunity to tell other service seekers how good or bad this particular worker is. If there are negative reviews that you need to give, be sure to justify why you are doing so.
