ABOUT OUTSOURCING
Outsourcing – an invisible concept
Outsourcing has a big “commencement hurdle” for many business owners. Which dramatically reduces the number of people that wants to give it a shot. The two key hurdles are (i) lack of awareness, and (ii) a big ticket cost and commitment.
Lack of awareness
Many prospective clients might not even be aware that they need BPO, or that it even exists.
- There can be a “if it’s not broken, don’t fix it” mentality
- Prospective BPO clients are already busy in their day-to-day
- They could be politically adverse to it (ie ‘keep the jobs inhouse’)
- Or possibly, Outsourcing might not even be on their radar at all
Thus, it can take them a long time to a get comfortable with the concept of outsourcing.
Expensive and sticky commitment
A business owner has to face a very costly (high ticket), and a very sticky commitment hurdle. The “sales pitch” of a BPO provider is big.
- Price ranges from $5k-6k per month (3-4 staff)
- That puts you in a 12-24+ month relationship
- Which is about a $60,000-$120,000 sales pitch
- Sticky: Any BPO choice is a serious commitment
That is a very big jump from “not on radar” to a $120k, 24 month contract.
OUR PROCESS
The implementation cycle
Being aware that there are options is the first step. However, there’ s still a long way to go between knowing of a solution and implementing them. We call this the Implementation Cycle, which involves (i) awareness, (ii) familiarity, and (iii) engagement. This process is extended and hindered because of the high ticket price of outsourcing, and the fact that the suppliers are in a different country, timezone and culture.
