Top 5 Tips On How To Outsource Your Business Whilst On Holidays
January 25, 2010 by Tyrone
These last few weeks have been the most fun and productive times in my life. I just got back from a trip over to Hong Kong and Thailand and to share with you what I did, I’ve created a little video right below here that shows one of my most memory events whilst on holidays:
The reason why I show you this event is because when I look back over the time whilst I was away, not once did I check my email or have to worry about what was happening in my business. I literally left my laptop and mobile phone in Australia and I headed overseas and just had FUN! When I came back I was not surprised to only get 32 emails that were from my virtual staff and personal friends. Last time I traveled overseas when my business was not setup with the proper systems, I received easily over 200 emails in that same period of time. What a change it was!
How Did I Setup My Business To Allow Me To Be Stress Free Whilst On Holidays?
The key is outsourcing. I have a business that has core systems in place that allow full-time virtual staff to manage and run the business whether I am working or not. I spend a majority of my time creating video content which is the heart of my business and my members appreciate this. The rest of the work that still needs to be completed, such as customer billing, technical issues and marketing are all outsourced to people I hire from the Philippines. Though, even having full-time virtual staff working for me it is still vital to have proper systems in place. I am going to share with you the top 5 tips on how you can prepare your business to allow you to enjoy a stress free holiday:
Tip #1: Plan Ahead Of Time
Within my business, delivering video content is like running a TV show and if I want to ensure that my viewers receive what they paid for, then I need to follow a schedule. The best way to look at this is if you are writing content for a blog or uploading video to an online channel website, then you need to plan at the beginning and consider what you want to deliver to your market. As the saying goes, “if you fail to plan, you plan to fail”. Before I left for my holiday, I already had created over 8 videos which will be delivered over one and a half months. That way I am already prepared ahead of schedule. The same thing also applies to virtual staff and you will need to discuss with them the necessary work to be completed over the course of the year.

Back in May, I attended the Ultimate Marketing Seminar that was held in Sydney over a weekend. At that event I met an excellent speaker called Ari Galper. He talked about Creating The Human Touch With A Live Chat System and it got me really excited about the benefits of using a system like this. I was very intrigued and decided to email Ari and asked him if he would do an interview with me and share with you his strategy and systems. Therefore this interview came about. Before we get into the interview, let me tell you a little about Ari first..
Ari Galper – Creator Of ChatWise
Ari Galper is a very well known and sought-after international speaker and trainer. When I emailed him to do an interview he was travelling over to the UK to promote his Chatwise system and it wasn’t until a month later when we could do this interview. So his a busy man!
Furthermore, Ari has a decade of experience showing people his breakthrough sales strategies used in global companies such as UPS and QUALCOMM. He also created the sales training program called Unlock The Game™, where this system helps businesses convert more sales online via an online chat system such as Chatwise. It’s one of the most widely used programs with large businesses.
