GET BACK TO WHAT YOU ARE GOOD AT,
AND LET US TAKE CARE OF WHAT WE’RE GOOD AT…YOUR OPERATIONS
FOUR BENEFITS OF OUTSOURCING
1) You know your product better than anyone, right? — but that doesn’t mean you know how to run a business
If nobody knows more about pizza than you, you might open a pizza shop. Or maybe you’re an expert in immigration law, so you open a law office. Or maybe you’re a very talented craftsman. Whatever your field of expertise is, doesn't necessarily translate to knowing how to run a business.
Most of the inner-workings of running a business are boring and can cloud your unique vision for the future of your company. You should partner with someone who has lived and breathed small-business operations across a range of industries for years. It’s a powerful combination to have an outsourced COO at your side.
2) It frees you to focus on the core vision...so, you can get back to what you are good at!
A COO’s role can be whatever you want it to be, but it’s usually keeping the "business end” of your operations running smoothly, while helping you refine and realize your vision. It’s critical that the COO is a seasoned professional who acts as your key and trusted advisor in business operations, because your expertise is in the business itself, not in operations.
3) Operational and strategic expertise
One of the main responsibilities of the COO is to work directly with the CEO/Owner. Some of those responsibilities include creating a plan and following through with the execution. Then the COO helps push the plan into action, while devising workflow, which delegates a multitude of tasks to help build the company’s infrastructure. How much your COO should focus on strategy versus execution, depends on your needs.
4) Fresh eyes and new ideas
The largest and most successful companies in the world spend millions of dollars hiring consulting firms, because even big companies with vast resources of internal expertise need help seeing the best way forward. An outside perspective can awaken you to new ideas. Plus, operations experts typically have worked with many companies across a range of industries, and have developed insight that would be impossible to achieve internally at one organization.
