Want to trade fear for confidence?

Back to Blog POsts

October is known for kids in costumers seeking candy and for leaves taking brilliant hues as they prepare to fall. It’s also a time when people talk of ghosts and goblins and all things spooky.

Of course, I’m thinking of you and what you might consider scary. I doubt it comes for $49.95 with a cape and a mask. Yours is a different version of fear. Businesses have their “scares,” the sudden employee departure, the catastrophic failure of equipment, or the client who bails without warning. I expect these are more your idea of a corporate haunted house.

I’m not a fan of fear. I prefer its opposite: confidence. So I spend this month contemplating the elimination of our worries and how we replace them with assurance inside.

I want the shine of confidence, not the darkness of fear, and I want that for you, too. How can you be less fearful and more confident in all things business?

Obviously, one way to stay out of the business house of horrors is having the right team for the job, a stable staff that helps you anticipate problems and actively works with you to produce at a high level.

You want a quality staff at a low cost that stays on the job, reduces your overhead costs, helps you grow, offers an advantage over your competitors, boosts your productivity, and improves your business’s reputation.

Such attributes will help you shake your fears in favor of confidence. That’s the point of HireSmart: putting owners and managers in a better position to manage their day-to-day and big-picture goals.

When you partner with us, we provide:

  • Quality staff: We hire exclusively from the Philippines to get the best candidates possible. We have an exhaustive recruitment, testing, and training process we’ve honed to precision over nearly a decade. Only one percent of applicants make the cut. We hire the best, and we have a very high successful placement rate of virtual employees with our clients.

 

  • A low cost: When you hire from us, you pay a flat bill rate per employee. The cost of living is much lower in the Philippines than in the U.S., so virtual employees there make a good living working with you while you save on costs. Our clients save an average of $27,000 per year per employee. Our Filipino employees also receive health and dental benefits through us at no additional cost to you.

 

  • A reduction of overhead: Virtual employees don’t require your corporate office space, so you can get work done while lowering rent expenses. You don’t have to cover the costs associated with their physical presence. You don’t have to cover the basic cost of their computers and tech.

 

  • Scalability: Thanks to the low cost per employee, you can consider a “Team vs. Tom” approach hire two or three virtual employees for the cost of one in-office hire. This presents an array of scalability options.

 

  • A boost in your productivity: With more staff, you have more hours of labor available to tackle your tasks. This means duties that were put on the back burner can handled. Jobs that were being done in a scattershot way can be performed with more diligence. New tasks never visited can now get done.

  • Advantage over competitors: Any business paying full price for a service is going to be at a disadvantage to competitors who are receiving the same service at a discount. When you partner with us, you pull ahead of all competitors who aren’t employing the same cost-saving strategy.

 

  • Improved business reputation: When you can operate with greater quality and efficiency, many other benefits start to take shape. You’ll have more staff to manage your contact with customers, improving their satisfaction and boosting your company’s reputation.

When you have each of these things, your fears don’t dominate your thoughts. Instead, a better feeling takes place: confidence that carries beyond work and into life in general.
