Hi! Tyrone Shum from Outsourcinglive.com and welcome to the dedicated channel where I talk
about outsourcing and share with you tips and strategies on how you can outsource your
own business. In today's video, I want to share with you or talk about choosing the
right outsourcing solution that's right for you. And I've come across over the years of
outsourcing different types of solutions that would work for people and it really depends
so I want to talk about 3 different types of outsourcing solutions. And I'm going to
go through and just give you some examples of what they do and how they work.
The first example of an outsourcing solution is will you outsource directly to find someone
that will work within your busienss and work closely with you directly? Now what I mean
by that is you'll go out to say a job network or job board or you might find something like
GetVirtualStaffFinder.com and hire someone directly and put them into your business to
work with you directly. And that's probably a one-on-one or 2 or 3 people that you're
working with your business and you'll basically put them on a payroll and they consider like
your own employee if you want it per se and obviously with that kind of solution, it's
a lot lower cost but it means that you're going to have to spend a bit of time training
them, you're going to set procedures, and in systems in place to be able to get them
to do the work that you want them to do and furthermore, you're going to have to manage
them so you're going to sort of act like a project manager. But this is the really the
ideal solution starting out when you are first starting to outsource because you're on a
low budget if you're just starting out as a business and also too, you want to test
what outsourcing is all about so that's one - or the first solution that people usually
go for when they first start out outsourcing.
Now the second solution is going a little bit more deeper but also too, for more leverage
in terms of what you need to do. And this kind of solution is to go out and find an
outsourcing company that will actually hire people inside their own company to outsource
their work to. Now, what I'm - what do I mean by that? Let's say for example if you're a
telecommunications company and you have a support team that you need. Somebody to do
some telemarketing for you, somebody to answer your telephone calls, somebody to pick up
the phone and do - all your telephone services.
Now, my good friend Chris Ducker at Live2Sell, he owns a company where he hires over 200
staff in his books. And basically those staff have been trained by him, employed by him
and also too, managed by him and his company. And what you can do is to contact him directly
and say look, Chris, I'm looking to hire say maybe 10 people to manage my whole call center.
Can you manage that whole process for me? Now Chris will provide a solution, a package
and basically you just pay a monthly fee and he'll have all the stuff all done for you
and that's basically the second type of solution that will be done. And this kind of solution
is very much a customized solution to what your business needs and all the paperwork
and all the systems and everything's all done for you. All you need to do is say look, I've
got a problem here, you solve it and you just go out there and implement it. And usually,
this kind of solution will cost a little bit more than say the solution that you hire your
virtual staff or your employee directly into your company and the reasons behind that is
because staffing cost over there, they need to make a profit margin, not only that, they're
also maintaining the whole thing for you. And you know, they've got a company, they've
got basically a corporate office, they've got computers, they've got systems, all that
kind of stuff and that's where you're really paying for that extra premium service for.
Now you might be wondering well that's pretty common. I mean like lots of telecommunications
out there do that and medium-sized to large businesses do that and also I've heard some
small companies do that as well. So that seems like yep, that's the only second solution
to go. But there's actually a third solution that I want to share with you. And this one
I've actually recently found out a little bit more about when I spoke to Philip from
MicroSourcing. And this solution is basically where MicroSourcing will go out there and
find the person the for you and in actual fact, they'll house or basically allow this
person to work in their office. So instead of hiring just an employee, what will happen
is that they'll go and hire this person for you, do all the recruitment process and stuff
and also house them inside their offices there. And you can one person, you can hire two people
and that's it. That's sort of coming back to your first solution there. But what they'll
do is that they'll charge you just a service fee on top of what you'll be paying your virtual
assistant or virtual staff and by doing that, that is a little bit lower cost, but at the
same time, you'll also have a lot more control and you're not basically just getting a solution
here, you are still working with say a virtual assistant or web developer or what not. Or
MicroSourcing for example is doing is by putting this person in their office and using their
facilities, and just charging a service fee.
So an example is, I'm looking for maybe a full time Wordpress developer, programmer
for my business. I'll go to MicroSourcing and say to them look, I'm looking for this
person, please go and find and find and they'll say yep sure I'll do that. And what they'll
do is they're going to find that person, hire them and give you that person and you basically
will train them and you'll work with them directly. You might charge or pay them like
$500, $600 a month. And you'll negotiate that with them, MicroSourcing doesn't do that.
And what will happen is that on top of that $500 or $600 that you paid to your virtual
staff or your web developer, MicroSourcing will charge a service fee on top - $200, $300
or something like that just to be able to maintain them in the office and cover all
their costs and so forth. And basically that's also another outsourcing solution or sourcing
- MicroSourcing solution that they can provide. That's basically the third one that I can
also recommend and you know, suggest to you as a solution for outsourcing.
Now I've talked about three of them. Basically the first one is I want to I'm going to guess
basically say is outsourcing for one person, or outsourcing for 2 people, etc. That's the
first solution. Second solution is to outsource with a problem to meet a solution. That's
basically a second one, I'm making this a while long the way I'm thinking about. And
then the third thing is to outsource with a service fee on top. So those are 3 type
of outsourcing solutions that I've seen around in the market and something that you could
also take away and use. Now, depending on what your business is like, depending on what
your business is like, depending on what your - looking - what you can afford, these solutions
fit for different criteria. And I can encourage you, go out and explore, test it out, find
out from them and let me know how you go because it'd be really interesting to see from your
perspective how these solutions work for you and at the end of the day, you'll find that
a lot of these solutions that you go out there would be a lot cheaper or a lot lower cost
in comparison to hiring someone locally. So you know, you can definitely try this out.
Anyway, hopefully you enjoyed this video. If you do have any further questions or feedback,

of solutions as well. All right, thank you very much for watching this. My name is Tyrone
