So what are the dating etiquette for outsourcing?
Putting your best foot forward Most outsourcing
firms are excited to work with businesses with
potential. If vendors can see that your business
is going in the right direction, they would be
more would be willing to work with you.
Dont give too much information on the first
date Dont overwhelm potential outsourcing
partners with too much information. Mainly
because they dont need it and all that
information would just bog down the process.

So what are the dating etiquette for outsourcing?
Ask questions and show genuine interest in what
they do Taking the time to know more about a
potential outsourcing partner will help save you
a lot of time. If you take the time to know
exactly what they can do and what they can
provide, the more you get to know them. This
gives you the knowledge to assess early on in the
relationship if this is something that would work
and where this vendor would fit in your business
model.

It Pays to Date Around

Cant you just hire someone to find the right
person for you? The same way that most people
now sign up for Tinder or Match.com to find the
right person to date?

Yes, using recruitment or outsource matching
services can help, but they dont provide any
guarantees. A good match on paper doesnt
automatically mean youd communicate well
together. In the end, youre still going to
have to talk to vendors directly to tell them
exactly how you want things done.
You wont immediately find Mr. or Ms.
Right Another reason its important to seek out
and talk to outsourcing vendors is that it
teaches you a lot about what outsourcing really
is. The reason for this is that most
entrepreneurs go into outsourcing with
unrealistic expectations. In the same way that
some people think that finding Mr. or Ms. Right
is going to solve all their problems.

Outsourcing is still hard work Lets go back to
the relationship analogy. Some people think that
once they find the perfect partner they dont
have to work for it. They think that if that
person is right for you, happy ever after is
going to be effortless. But finding
the right outsourcing partner doesnt absolve you
from business responsibilities. Working with an
outsourcing partner means regular communication,
monitoring and feedback. Outsourcing is about
working together to achieve more.
11
Yes, finding the right outsourcing partner does
take a lot of work in the beginning. Maintaining
a good working relationship with your outsourcing
vendor will still take some work. But once you
find a partner that understands you and supports
you in your business goals, theres no limit to
what you can achieve. Yes, dating sucks, but
finally finding the right one makes all that work
worthwhile.
