Hi, it’s Karen Dee, wife of Dave and the person who runs the business side of Dave Dee, Inc.
Dave told me I should write an occasional email with my insights. He claims subscribers would enjoy it, although I suspect he’s trying to do less work – which is a good thing and what this email is about.
The other day, we were talking about how to maximize revenue, and I said we need more “passive” income streams that didn’t rely on Dave. We decided that one of the easiest was to partner with one of our vendors so we could get paid whenever we recommended them. I said I would take on this project.
However, instead of doing it myself, I contacted one of our team members who already had contacts inside the company we wanted to work with. I had her call to inquire about how we could set up an affiliate arrangement.
She called her contact and within a couple of hours. She discovered that they had a “certification” process that their affiliate partners needed to go through that included watching eight of hours video.
I told our team member that we would pay her to go through the certification process and that she should get started immediately.
By delegating the task, we are getting the result Dave and I want quicker, easier, and in the long run, at less of a cost had I done it on my own.
So the question I have for you, and Dave is this: What tasks are you doing that you could and should outsource? Pick one and assign it to someone else so you can focus on what you do best.
Have a great weekend!
