What tedious tasks can you outsource?

| Carl-Philip Coenen

As an entrepreneur, do you also curse when you are processing administration again during the weekend? Do you wonder how a star chef can launch books, cutlery and a coffee label all at the same time? Or how that one CEO can manage ten companies at the same time? Good time management is one answer; outsourcing the other.

The advantages of smart outsourcing

Wit smart outsourcing you focus again on the core business of your own company. Too often you lose time on simple tasks that take too long or complex tasks that a specialist would perform faster, better and cheaper. Time to consider which tasks you should outsource.

Which tasks can you outsource?

Many jobs are already being outsourced today: the accountant, payroll, cleaning crew do what you don’t like to do. Remember that outsourcing is possible for about any task. Many jobs no longer even require physical presence and can be handled digitally.

What criteria do you use in outsourcing?

First, define your core tasks and list all other tasks in your company. You do not outsource core tasks: you are good at it yourself and you have all the necessary knowledge in-house. Outsourcing can be fine for jobs that occasionally pop up in your agenda, assume a specialized knowledge or are a real obstacle.

How do you deal with outsourcing?

Make clear agreements and expectations. Measurable targets, clear data and fixed numbers reduce the chance of dissatisfaction during the collaboration. However, a contract is not everything: transparent communication during implementation is also essential. Provide sufficient background so your outsourcing partner not only executes, but can also think along creatively.

Which partners do you choose?

Many large companies work with freelancers. You can find them through word of mouth and online via platforms. Business communication by a copywriter? An external IT partner for your printers and PCs? Or an HR agency that recruits your new employees? Many companies do it like this.
