Outsourcing Is Great (But Only When Done Right)

Outsourcing can be a total game-changer for business owners. It gives you the opportunity to focus on what you do best—growing your business—while getting expert support for everything else. But here’s the truth: not all outsourcing is created equal.

Let me tell you about one of our clients, who was launching a major new program and needed help with her website and marketing. In an effort to save money, she outsourced to an international solo practitioner. At first, everything seemed fine… until it wasn’t.

Right before her big launch, the contractor disappeared. No updates, no responses, and certainly no backup plan.

With her program launch deadline fast approaching, she had no one to turn to. That’s when she reached out to us. Our team immediately stepped in, assessed the situation, and tapped into our trusted network of local professionals. We pieced together what was left behind, filled in the gaps, and ensured her program launched on time. All without the stress and uncertainty she had been dealing with.

This is why who you outsource to matters.

Why Choosing the Right Partner is Non-Negotiable

When you work with a reputable agency, you’re not just hiring one person, you’re gaining a team with built-in redundancies, accountability, and a commitment to your success. If one person is unavailable, the work doesn’t stop. Someone is ready to step in, so things keep moving forward. There’s a system in place to ensure deadlines are met, communication remains clear, and your business stays on track.

Most importantly, they’re just as invested in your success as you are— your goals become their goals. Outsourcing should make your life easier, not harder, and the right partner will give you peace of mind. No more sleepless night.

So before you outsource, take a moment to ask yourself:

✅ Does this provider have a backup plan?

Things can (and do) go wrong. If your contractor is unavailable, will the work continue without a hitch? Make sure they’ve got a contingency in place.

✅ Are they committed to clear communication and accountability?

A lack of communication leads to confusion and missed deadlines. Your outsourcing partner should keep you updated regularly, and be transparent about progress.

✅ Do they have a proven track record of reliability and success?

No matter how good the pitch sounds, reliability matters. Look for a partner who has delivered on their promises in the past and can demonstrate success.

How to Choose the Right Support for Your Business

Before choosing the RIGHT partner, consider these four factors:

🔍 Vision & Alignment: Does their service align with your long-term goals and vision?
If they doesn’t understand where you’re headed, they can’t help you get there. The right support will take the time to understand your business objectives and contribute to your larger vision.

🔍 Core Function & Importance: How critical is this task to your business?
If it’s essential to your brand’s performance, like website development or marketing, make sure they have the right expertise to handle it with precision.

🔍 Expertise & Specialization: Do they have the specialized knowledge and experience you need?
This isn’t just about completing tasks, it’s about optimizing results and ensuring top-quality work.

🔍 Scalability & Flexibility: Can they scale with your business as it grows?
As your needs evolve, your outsourcing partner should be able to adapt quickly to new challenges and opportunities.
