[L405]Listening Skills In Business
by Gen Wright, Gen
Usually, for any business, the bulk of the costs come from staff wages. That is why even multinational corporations have to down size during a recession. It's a cost cutting measure. Smaller companies usually don't have the luxury of taking such measures. For starters, there may not even be enough staff in the company! The solution then, is to outsource.

There are many benefits in outsourcing needed skills

First and foremost, there are no fixed wages. Someone gets paid only when a job is done. After that, there is no obligation on the part of the company to continue paying the employee. In this manner, the company saves money when there are few orders coming in. This is the typical situation during an economic downturn.

Freelance staff can have broader experience than many employed staff

Some small business owners believe that freelance staff can never be as good as full time staff. However, this belief is not always true. The best freelancers are likely to be specialists in their area of expertise. For example, if you are looking to setup a website, you can employ a Wordpress (a free content management system) specialist to help you set up the website. You don't need a full time staff to do such tasks. In many cases, a freelancer can do a much better job because they have a lot of experience working for many different clients.

If you are seriously considering outsourcing, you can visit various freelance websites to seek for well qualified freelancers. These are actually job portals setup to serve the outsourcing market. You will be able to post a job and invite interested parties to place bids.

You can check the quality of the work of a freelancer by using a specialist intermediary company to represent you

When assessing potential freelance candidates look at more than the price quoted. Spend some time to take a look at previous projects that had been delivered in the past and the level of satisfaction recorded. Never judge a candidate based on country of residence as well. Times are changing and the Internet allows you to hire anyone in any country. You may be surprised to find many freelancers with excellent skills residing in different parts of the world.

Once you have shortlisted a few candidates, it's time to get the interview process going.

Don't be afraid to ask questions before making a decision.

You can ask questions by using email, by posting on the job board, or by making a phone call. The goal here is to assess the communication skills of the vendor or individual. It's certainly much easier to work with someone with excellent communication skills. Make sure that they fully understand your needs and goals before proceeding.

Most importantly, you don't pay until you are happy with the work produced. Your intermediary company facilitating the contract will hold your money in escrow until you are satisfied.

Unless you are a juggler, you probably aren't aware that quality juggling balls is a big business. Jugglers need to have a number of different sizes and types of juggling balls in order to put on a good performance. Many jugglers even have custom juggling balls made in certain colors or fabrics. They can even be made with a promotional message on them in order to toss out to the audience.

Different types of quality juggling balls can be fabric balls like leather or felt, or even a metallic fabric that would really show up when performing on a stage in front of a large audience. Beanbag balls are quite popular for children's shows. These are heavy enough to juggle but lightweight enough to toss to the kids and allow them the opportunity to give juggling a try as well.

Custom juggling balls can be made to order in specific sizes, weights, fabrics and colors. Even the contents inside of custom juggling balls can be special ordered. Have you ever seen a juggler's balls explode in mid air extracting confetti or brightly colored fabric pieces? These are custom juggling balls.

Custom juggling balls can be made with messages printed on them, too. These are best made on lightweight beanbag balls or fabric balls so that you don't hurt someone when throwing them out into your audience. You can have your contact information printed on fabric balls so that people in the audience can reach you when they need a juggler for hire.

If you work for companies, putting on shows for employees or to promote a new business to customers, custom beanbag balls can be made with the company's logo and information on them. The company that hired you will be quite impressed that you offer this service, and you can charge a premium rate, too.

Quality juggling balls can be ordered from a number of vendors. It is important to find balls of good quality from a vendor that you trust and can build a relationship with. The vendor should offer balls of all sorts, including custom made balls, at reasonable prices so that you are able to get your balls from the same place every time.

Vendor's turn-around time should also be an important aspect when choosing your ball source. You would hate to show up to a special show without the right balls in tow because your vendor didn't get them to you in time. This is especially true when you are ordering promotional custom balls to be given out to the audience. It will certainly not be easy for you to build your juggling business if you charge premium rates with the promise of having custom balls with your client's advertisement on them, and then show up without them.

Juggling is an art and it is a skill that very few people can boast of excelling in. Those who can are truly entertainers and they want to be able to entertain their audience with the best balls they can acquire. Find the right vendor from which to order your quality juggling balls."
