I don''t do a lot of outsourcing, but offering up guests spots here at Productivityst has started me down that path. In order to outsource right, you need to have a plan on what should be done by others and what shouldn''t, and this guest post from Clarissa Steinhöfel offers some plans to that effect.

There are two main reasons an organization is likely to lose customers; the competition has a better offer or the customer is unhappy. Even the smallest interruption on a day a customer is stressed, in a bad mood, or just in a hurry could mean the difference whether he returns as a client at a later time. Value client opinion.

Don’t rely on positive word-of-mouth alone to be successful, you must be pro-active. This positive action, in my experience, also creates referrals as this person will recommend you if they come a cross a suitable customer. Web development as well can be pretty expensive.

Don’t Let Empty Pockets Hold You Back! If a start-up funds the development of their company through internal cash flow and are cautious with expenses, the company can grow with low-risk to all those involved.

Listening to Experts is Expensive When new business owners believe faulty information they find on the web, it costs them a great deal. So when I see someone come out and make a false statement that I know isn’t accurate, I can’t help but get a little angry at that “expert”. Many people don’t even care.
