3 Things You can Outsource to work More Efficiently

If you have your own company, you probably have a lot on your plate. Is your agenda also filled to the brim? And does your phone never stop ringing? Then it might be a good idea to outsource some of your daily tasks - maybe even the ones that you like the least or the ones that take up big chunks of your time. Outsourcing work isn't only handy to give you a breather, it can also boost your company! In this article, we talk about 3 activities you can outsource easily. 

The upkeep of computer systems

If you work with computers and software daily, it's a good idea to have a system administrator. This person ensures the correct functioning of the computer systems and networks. The system administrator makes sure that the uptime, performance, resources, and security of the computers they manage meet the needs of the users. This way, everything works the way it should and you don't have to worry about all your employees complaining that a certain program has bugs or the server randomly crashing. 

Collecting invoices

Let's be real- there are very few people that really enjoy the paperwork that comes with a business. If you have a booming business, that means that every month you send out multiple invoices and every month again you need to check if those were paid. Of course this can be done quickly - if everything is paid. Dealing with debtors that have outstanding bills can be a hassle. Calling them, mailing them to remind them about the outstanding balances ... Luckily, there are services that can help you with that. If you have a debt collection agency on speed dial, they can make sure the collection (Dutch: incassobureau) is quickly handled, e.g. by sending a lawyer over to your debtor. Just google your area to see which collection agencies have good reviews! If you for instance live in Groningen, google 'incassobureau Groningen'. 

Marketing activities

Marketing can make sure you make more money by attracting more customers. But if you don't have any knowledge about marketing, you can also waste a lot of money, e.g. by having advertisements online that have a bad conversion rate. To make sure you get the most out of your marketing budget, it's a good idea to work with a marketing agency. An agency has all the knowledge you need to bring attention to your business and your product(s).
