You need to clear up two questions here: Why outsource, and why
outsource from the Philippines. First things first: Outsourcing is an umbrella term that covers most forms of back office work that is done in another location, preferably in a country where the client’s capital goes a long way. To date many countries in South America and Asia are considered as hotbeds for outsourcing and staff leasing. In Asia,…

Outsourcing is currently the star while insourcing plays the second fiddle. To some they can’t tell the difference, while others don’t care at all.
Insourcing is simply doing work back at home-- getting your own local team to do the job. Outsourcing is having an
offshore leased staff to do specific work while you take care of your company’s core functions. This is the academic…

It can be challenging to work with a team that’s working thousands of miles from your location. It’s harder still to keep track of what they’re doing and how much have they have accomplished. However, these challenges can be addressed with just a bit of gut feel and foresight.
* Set up a clear organizational work flow. Give your leased staff an idea of who you are and where they are in the scheme of things. Your
offshore and leased staff…

There’s a standing joke that Filipinos are out to take over the world because every where you go, you can find a Filipino worker. It doesn’t sound outright funny, but you can sense it’s double bladed: It serves as a commentary on the country’s current “brain drain” syndrome.
While thousands leave for work abroad everyday, an equal number of
Filipinos get hired by foreign companies operating locally. It’ s ironic, but it’s true. It just goes to show that…

The offshore and
staff leasing industry is not only known for fast service, it’s also much talked about for causing fast turnovers. Contact centers lose a battalion of workers and hire twice as many within a month. On the outside it looks like something good is going on (thousands are looking for jobs), but inside, the crack runs deep. A fast turnover hurts the employer and the employee. What hurts the most is when both parties (client and worker) have t…

We have heard of so many issues arising from an offshore and leased staff work environment. And opinions are divided: some favor
offshoring, while some dismiss the idea altogether. Other than cost matters, the one undying issue is about communication: language and culture disconnect. The vendor has a vision for his company; it’s this vision that gets stuck when language and culture issues are not smoothly ironed out.
So how can you efficiently run a tea…

The current buzz about
offshoring and
staff leasing is that your leased staff is just as good as its vendor. True or not, many issues usually come up over the course of a leased staff project. And many of these issues are smartly resolved in due time. But these issues are real and they’re happening. So if you’re thinking of getting an offshore and leased staff, be ready to deal with the following scenario:
* You…

To conservative employers the advantages of
offshoring and
staff leasing may be an exaggeration. How can an amorphous, third-party team work well for someone who’s thousands of miles away? Somehow their words have a grain of truth. Many issues come up between an offshore or leased staff and the client. And it’s now valid to ask: What can’t offshore leased agents do that on-site employees can?
* Some offshore and…

As much of the western world is reeling from the first great economic crisis of the 21st Century, the Philippines is holding forth. It is, in fact, taking advantage of the situation. Thanks to the strong business process outsourcing
(BPO) and staff leasing industry in the country.
America spread the economic crisis virus around the world, but she ironically holds the secret cure. The anti-virus lies in America’s outsourcing, back office, and staff leasi…

I have used a few different taxi and limousine companies, and I can tell you a few horror stories… Once I have ordered a taxi for 6:15 am, and I waited for about 5 minutes, I called the company. They told me that there was no such order, even after I gave them the confirmation number! So too bad, Mom got dressed in 1 minute and drove me off to the airport. Thanks Mom! Next…
Another time, I called another taxi company, asked for a taxi 6:15am again… I waited for about 5 minutes, I called the co…

ALL THAT YOU DO
By Rev. Dean Beaty 6/7/09
I Corinthians 10:31 “Whether therefore ye eat, or drink,
or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.” (KJV)
May God bless you for the work you do.
Your work in church and singing too.
It’s wonderful how hard you try.
You’re love for God is the reason why.
While some folk just sit and stare,
You’re hard at work and always there.
So I just want to say, “Thank you.”
And say, “God sees all that you do.”
You’re laying up treasures in heaven above;
Gol…

I ran across this article awhile ago (
Where Has All the Help Gone? ). If you get a chance, be sure to read it because it has much of value to show us what we as online sellers can do in terms of customer service to compete with brick and mortar stores and to keep our customers happy and coming back time and again to our sites.
The main gist of the article is that consumers are being…

I often talk about the importance of time and time management -- how rich people and poor people both have the same amount of time every day - 24 hours (which by the way, I find fascinating).
This week, I want to share with you four great time management ideas excerpted from our Leadership Event Speaker Roundtable Session - Enjoy!
From Brian Tracy:
I always give the principle of: Begin the day by "Eating That Frog." It basically says that if the first thing you do in the morning is eat a live…

Dear Marvin,
If there's one thing I've noticed as I've built my
businesses and helped tens of thousands over the
years, it's that some lessons, if learned and lived by,
will never get old and will always turn heads and raise
eyebrows if implemented correctly and consistently.
Here are my top 5:
1. SELF-DISCIPLINE SEPARATES WINNERS FROM WISHERS
Plato said, "The first and best victory is to conquer self".
Do you know the story of the poor child from the country-
side? She was born pre-mature…

One of the mentors I worked with last year struck a chord with me, one night, that I’ll never forget. He told me, as we talked, “Rex… be the Oprah.” It only took a matter of seconds to figure out what he was trying to tell me and the light came on.
If I am to just spell it out, it's about branding... to put it even more bluntly, it's about creating a sense of "celebrity" for yourself, in the world of network marketing. The social media makes it very easy to accomplish this, with a little polish…

I have been working from home for 4 or more years. I started with a company called NHCD. It was telemarketing. (I am not very good at telemarketing) We use to have a code we had to use and dial before the number. They supplied a list and you just called and called. Then they went to having to have unlimited long distance. When I started it was $2.00 per lead and went up to $3.00 per lead. I believe they pay $5.00 or $6.00 per lead no

Very Important Public Service Announcement !
Do you remember a company in Dallas, Texas who offered everyone
an opportunity in the 90s to get paid when someone paid their long
distance bill? Back then, AT&T, MCI & Sprint had 90% of the customers
and they did not pay anyone on their service or their friends service.
Everyone had long distance and the average bill was $20 per month.
That company in Dallas,Texas was in business for 4 ye…

Message from Rickey at www.juniques.org
It makes no matter, which program/service you promote, if you haven’t addressed these two destroyers of your financial health: taxes and credit debt.
Earning income , just to have it taken , by these two destroyers, DOES NOT make financial sense. You could financially succeed with your business , yet fail miserably at protecting the financial success you obtained.
Of all these products/services I would encourage everyone to look at FDI.
You may never wa…
