Many companies are finding they need to streamline their processes to save time and money, and enable them to focus on growing their business in the current economic climate. As a business owner it is well worth spending a bit of time considering which parts of your business really need to be carried out by yourself or your employees and which parts could be outsourced. Often you will find that you and your staff spend an inordinate amount of time answering telephone calls, many of which are not productive (the ever present sales calls in particular). This can be disruptive when you are in the middle of a project and have to pause to answer the telephone and deal with the call. Outsourcing to a call answering service lets you focus on your work when you need to, and deal with phone calls at a time that is convenient to you.
Giving your staff the opportunity to spend more of their time on the high value work that you actually get paid for has multiple benefits. The biggest is that they will be able to be more productive in the time they have available. A side benefit you may not think of straight away is that your calls will still be answered promptly and professionally, even when you have unexpected absences due to sickness. As your telephone answering service would already be set up, you wouldn't need to worry about that aspect of an absence and could instead focus on sharing out the work you do for your clients.
Successful businesses are those which respond well to change and come out of adversity stronger and even more successful. As such, downsizing is an opportunity to focus your efforts on keeping your business strong and growing within today's economic conditions.
