Stress-Free Offshoring: Streamline Your Business with Ease

The world has changed since the pandemic, and let’s face it – the economy is a bit all over the place. We’re seeing big shifts in the business world, and it’s time for all of us to adapt and grow. But don’t worry, Gone Global’s got your back, guiding you through these uncertain times.

Offshore staffing is one of the most powerful tools you can have in business. It gives you access to a massive talent pool and can save you up to 70% on staffing costs.

That’s a big deal.

But not everyone has a smooth ride when they first try outsourcing.

Why’s that?

Well, outsourcing is just a tool – and like any tool, it can be misused. Sometimes, you just need to learn how to use it the right way to get the best results.

A lot of people start offshoring by picking the wrong tasks to outsource first.

Sure, you can offshore almost any part of your business, but some tasks are easier than others, and some give you a bigger return on investment (ROI). And then there are those that are more complex than others.

The key is to start with the simpler, lower-complexity tasks. Get comfortable with those, master them, and then move on to the more complicated stuff.

How to Get Outsourcing Right the First Time

People often make the mistake of outsourcing their problems instead of their processes. It’s better to start with the other way around.

Instead of picking the toughest job in your business to outsource, try focusing on tasks you already have a handle on.

For example, a lot of businesses try to outsource their sales, but if you don’t have a solid sales process in place yet – or you’re still figuring out if your product even has market fit – outsourcing that part is going to be tricky, to say the least.

If your offshoring efforts fail in that case (and they probably will), it’s hard to pinpoint whether the issue is with the staff, the outsourcing company, the sales process, or your product itself.

A better approach? Offshore tasks that you’ve already figured out. Processes that are stable, well-defined, and have clear metrics are ideal. If you can track things like output, quality, and cost already, it’s much easier to replicate the same results offshore.

This way, the transition will be smoother and more predictable.

When you start out, it’s smart to pick simple, low-risk roles. Get some wins under your belt to build confidence, and then gradually move on to the more complex tasks.

• UI/UX Design

• Accounting

• Sales Assistance (ISA)

• Admin Support

• Operations

• Marketing
