Why outsource, isn't that
un-American?
by Mike Gonsalves, StrategicFusion
Hardly!
Outsourcing is as American as Mom and Apple Pie! A lot of people believe
that outsourcing is the problem with America's economy today. For the
most part they equate outsourcing with sending jobs overseas
(off-shoring). The fact is that outsourcing started long ago when
production lines where first formed to manufacture everything from nails
for building to autos for driving.
Yes, outsourcing has gotten
very sophisticated over the last decade or so. Yes, we are competing on
a global scale for jobs, especially in certain sectors. But the fact
remains that small businesses can help themselves grow and thrive by
outsourcing tasks that are:
1. Difficult to master
quickly
2. Better done by someone at a lower overall (more efficient) pay scale
For example, you can do
your taxes yourself, or you can hire an accountant. I don't hire an
accountant to add the numbers up for me on a form (Turbo Tax can do that
just fine). I hire an accountant to make sure the numbers are in the
right boxes, that's outsourcing. It would take me months (or years) to
gain even the slightest competitive advantage on my accountant, so I
rely on him and his firm to do the best job possible.
In another example, when
you are thinking about moving your business, are you going to go to a
commercial realtor an expert on getting the best deals in the market or
are you going to wing it on your own? Wing it and the odds are strong
that your new space will cost you more than if you had used a
professional.

If your high-speed system happens to
be running slower than a clogged drain, don't complain just yet. Before you pay
for an expensive in-office visit from your Internet service provider's tech
support, here are four things you should consider.
