When you run your own business, no matter whether you are working alone from your home or you run an office with a small number of employees. You want to make sure you are focussing in on the areas you need to and not have your attention divided in too many ways.
When you are starting out, you may find that you need to simply be everything and do everything for your company. However, if you aren’t careful you can quickly reach burn out by taking on too much for too long. If you truly want to make a success of your business you need to make sure you are working smarter not harder. Prioritising tasks and delegating those that don’t need to be done specifically by you can free up a lot of your time.
But what is the best way to do this? If you aren’t in a position to hire any staff or create new job roles, then outsourcing could be key for you to help you manage what needs to be done and have tasks taken care of by professionals. But what type of jobs should you delegate to third parties and why? Read on to find out the top three tasks you should think about outsourcing.
Accounting.
No one wants to be in trouble when it comes to submitting their tax information. Knowing everything is being taken care of and checked over by professionals before submitting bas online can take a big load of your mind and reduce stress. It makes sense to hire a company who can do this for you if you are a small business so you can be sure you are up to date and following the correct protocols when it comes to taking care of this.
Marketing and SEO.
Getting the word out about your company and drumming up new business can be a full-time job on its own. With social media being one of the best ways of reaching new and potential customers, you want to be able to create new and engaging content to keep your company visible online at all times.
The same can be said for creating a website that looks professional and has everything you need to bring in new business for your company. This is why you should be looking at hiring a social media agency and SEO specialist to manage your online presence and make sure your company is not only searchable online, but you are using the power of social media in the best way possible.
Calls.
You can’t spend all your days fielding calls from people or else you wouldn’t get any productive work done. A great way to keep on top of this is to have a company answer inbound calls for you. Creating a professional image from the first contact and keeping regular customers in the loop, this is a great way to make sure your company is available to everyone whilst not keeping you chained to the phone for your working day. You can then pick up anything important and have all the information relayed to you for you to follow up with.
