Ways to Use Your Business Operations Manager
by Pam Weiser

You might be asking, “What does a Business Operations Manager do?” Basically, a Business Operations Manager is a person who performs operational tasks on behalf of busy people. If you’re busy, that task list may become endless and daunting. For many entrepreneurs, that task list contains many of the functions required to get their business set up and then maintained. If there was someone who could assist you, and alleviate the overwhelm, wouldn’t you want to utilize their help? The answer is YES!

That’s where I come in!

I use my years of professional expertise, along with my resourcefulness, tech savviness, organizational skills, and proactivity to help you get ahead of your list. Wouldn’t it be awesome to free up your time, so that you can actually focus on running your business? The answer is YES! Not only will having an assistant free up your time, but the stress of getting things done falls off of your shoulders, and the convenience of having a partner to help, becomes a crucial part of running your business.

Here are some of the unlimited ways you can use a Business Operations Manager:

Calendar & Email Management
CRM Implementation & Maintenance
Digital Systems Organization & Management
Event Planning
Bookkeeping & Invoicing
Content Writing and Editing for Newsletters & Blogs

With a limited number of hours in the day, you might be doing the bare minimum just to get by, and maybe not doing it very well.

Are You Afraid of Outsourcing?

Let’s talk about fear. Where does fear in business come from? Many entrepreneurs will tell you that fear comes from the potential to fail. Many of those entrepreneurs, including myself, will also tell you that their fear motivates them to strive for success, and to do this more quickly. As that success comes, so does the growth and the efforts to scale become more urgent. Scary, right? This is the time to move out of the comfort zone and partner with individuals - potentially freelancers, who can give their immediate assistance, and so a semblance of comfort and normalcy will return. This is also the time to figure out where you need the most help, and my guess is that it’s probably administrative, in nature.

Here are some reasons that entrepreneurs might be hesitant about outsourcing help.

Fear that a freelancer won’t be as good as someone you hire in house. This is false. Freelancers aren’t one size fits all. You can find someone to do almost anything, whether that’s managing your social media, scheduling, or working on projects, which have taken a backseat. Take the time to research and check past recommendations, and speak to the freelancer a few times about their skills, so that you’re sure to enlist a qualified and experienced individual. The last thing you want to do is have to pay someone else to do the tasks over again, because you cut corners, and the quality of work was less than stellar.
Fear that a freelancer is more expensive than hiring in house. This is false. An experienced freelancer may charge more money per hour, but they are also covering their own tax payments, medical insurance, business insurance, along with any other business related expenses. If you were to hire this person as an employee, you would find that it will cost A LOT more. Consider the recruiting, onboarding, training, and equipment costs. Hiring a freelancer doesn’t require any of these things, except maybe some of your time for training, to get them up to speed.
Fear that freelancers are not as driven as those you hire in house. This is false. Freelancers forge their own paths to grow their businesses. This is a competitive field, and as markets change, it’s in their best interest to learn and grow new skills to accommodate different clients and their needs. A good freelancer gets satisfaction out of completing a successful project, in the same way an employee might. In the long run, this increases motivation, eagerness and confidence for the individual to do well.

What do entrepreneurs and businesses have to gain from outsourcing?

A freelancer can:

Increase efficiency
Save companies money
Help businesses scale
Ease the overwhelm

Seems worth it, doesn’t it?

Your fear of outsourcing might be doing you more harm than good.
