Why Outsource
Over the past decade outsourcing IT services, as well mailroom and
human resource functions has become accepted, cost efficient ways of
doing business. Today, sales outsourcing is rapidly becoming a
growing area within the overall Business Process Outsourcing (BPO)
market. Research by Dun & Bradstreet predicts the outsourcing
of field sales will grow fivefold over the next two years.
For the past five years the BPO model has become the most effective
method used to provide the greatest return on investment.
Sales outsourcing includes the transfer of all or selected overhead
expenses, such as recruiting, payroll, insurance, equipment, training
etc… These expenses can add an average of 35% to the salary of a
sales executive. Factor in the cost of turnover and it can become
prohibitive for small and midsize businesses to appropriately staff
their sales function with professional sales executives.
The Outsourcing Institute identified the following reasons why businesses outsource:
- Resources not available internally.
- Gain access to first-rate capabilities.
- Reduce and control operating costs.
- Free internal resources for other purposes.
- Reduce investment needed for organizational learning.
- Improve time to market.
