A New Year, A New You - how can we help?
A New Year, A New You - how can we help?
It’s not that we’re suggesting you can’t do it… And it’s not that we’re suggesting you mustn’t do it. But when it comes to carrying out tasks in your business that someone else could do, we are suggesting you question whether you should do it…
Your time is precious. You have a business to run and there are only so many hours in the day. With the New Year now kicking its heels to get going, it’s time to make some adjustments. So ask yourself: Should I be spending my valuable time doing what someone else could do for me?
Let’s face it, if certain regular tasks don’t fit your skill set they’re going to take longer than they should and you’re very possibly going to make mistakes. And that’s if you get around to doing them at all… Because if cleansing a database isn’t your ‘thing’, it’s not going to have that magnetic pull, is it?
So what can you do? If you’re time poor, how do you find ways to outsource?
At YOPA, we’d recommend you take these first steps:
- Make a list of your daily activities.
- Note if any are linked with others – This will help if you do choose to outsource some.
- Evaluate your role in these activities – Could some be performed by someone else?
- Tot up how much time you spend carrying out these tasks – This may be time better spent on more productive things.
- Prioritise your daily activities – This will help you to decide what should be outsourced.
If you’re struggling, here are a few ideas to help you.
Outsourcing Sales Support
Example Scenario 1: You want to run a direct targeting campaign. You have a list of companies, but it’s a bit old and you’re not even sure how some of the contacts got onto the list.
YOPA Solution: We review the list and ‘cleanse’ it by researching and updating the information. We then telephone each contact with the aim of arranging appointments for you.
Example Scenario 2: You don’t have time (or know-how, in truth) to create the literature for an email campaign.
YOPA Solution: We produce an eye-catching pdf, the purpose of which is to build confidence in your company and your products/services.
