Serious question, did that outsourcing guy on a webinar actually save anyone money or just cost me $4,200?
Back in March I sat through a free webinar from some B2B outsourcing firm out of Dallas, and the guy running it kept saying to move all my admin work offshore and I would cut costs by 40 percent in 90 days. He had a whole slide about it and he seemed like he knew his stuff, so I signed a 6 month contract for $4,200 total to hand off my scheduling, invoicing and vendor follow ups. Six weeks in, my invoices were going out late, two vendors stopped replying to me, and I had to redo almost everything myself at night. When I called to complain, the account rep just said onboarding takes time and pushed me to upgrade to the premium tier. I finally killed the contract last week and ate the rest of the money, and my old part time helper in town does it better for less. If you are a small B2B shop and someone promises offshore admin savings, ask them for 3 local references first and actually call them. Did anyone here get an outsourcing deal that worked, or is this just how it always goes?

Skip local references, call their current clients instead.
