Choosing the wrong outsourcing provider is easy (unfortunately).

Have you tried outsourcing before? You've had trouble outsourcing before? Many firms that we have helped have and have been burnt and badly from respoinding to unsolicited communication (aka spam)

In the world of outsourcing, countless spam messages inundate LinkedIn and email inboxes. Here is a recent example of such an email that I received and the truth behind these offers.

I voiced my dismay upon receiving this email. Claiming a decade of experience? It felt more like a decade of unprofessionalism, hijacking my time with relentless spam! Since I enjoy stirring the pot occasionally, I decided to respond to one of these organizations. To my surprise, it turned out they spam more than 100 accountants daily, hoping someone takes the bait. When I pointed out the harm they were causing, I received a rude response, with claims that some firms had actually signed up.

This infuriated me because I know of accounting firms that fell victim to cold email offers, and the outcomes were disastrous. Terribly disastrous! While some of them are now our clients, it took considerable time and consistent effort to rebuild their trust after their unfortunate encounters with unreliable providers. Outsourcing itself isn't inherently flawed, but it's crucial to exercise caution and conduct thorough research.
