Straight Facts: Why the Best Businesses Outsource—
and How You Can Too
The key takeaways from my recent guest in the Outsource Accelerator Podcast with Derek Gallimore
As more and more businesses tap into outsourcing, it’s a fact that a lot of business owners are still hesitant to try it. You’ve probably heard all about its advantages already – how it helps boost productivity, how it cuts costs, and how it increases scalability.
Most of the hesitation comes from the risks and the uncertainty of how it will fit with your business. Ads, articles, and webinars can only go so far. As a business owner who has a lot at stake, you’d want to know the practical side of things – the technicalities and the facts without the fluff. As CEO and founder of Outsource Access, I totally understand where the hesitancy comes from. In fact, that’s what I talked about when I was invited as a speaker at the Outsource Accelerator Podcast with Derek Gallimore.
In the podcast, we discussed the realities of outsourcing, its risks, and its real benefits – without the fluff.
Outsourcing from the Philippines: Sunny and efficient
As outsourcing continues to expand, businesses are faced with an overwhelming number of choices. The question isn’t just why to outsource—it’s where. The answer? The Philippines.
With a deep-rooted connection to the United States, the Philippines boasts a workforce that seamlessly integrates with Western culture and language. Beyond that, the country produces a steady stream of highly skilled college graduates, ensuring access to top-tier talent across industries.
At Outsource Access, we go beyond just providing support—we connect businesses with elite professionals who bring expertise, efficiency, and innovation to the table. When you outsource with us, you’re not just delegating tasks—you’re elevating your business.
You can delegate more than just auxiliary tasks
A common misconception about outsourcing is that you can delegate only auxiliary or administrative tasks. While it is true that you can choose to just outsource these tasks, it’s a mistake to limit your delegation. Outsource Access offers highly skilled professionals who specialize in various tools, processes, and industries. Imagine the efficiency you can unlock when you can streamline not only administrative tasks, but also processes that require special skills.
From marketing and graphic design to bookkeeping and customer support, outsourcing can extend far beyond basic admin work. With the right talent, you can delegate specialized tasks like data analysis, lead generation, project management, and even high-level strategy execution.
Outsource Access connects you with professionals who are not just task-doers but problem-solvers—equipped with expertise in cutting-edge tools and industry best practices. By leveraging their skills, you free up time to focus on innovation, business growth, and what truly matters.
SOAR - Leadership Development Program
Virtual assistants are not only supported, they can also be team mates. Here at Outsource Access we invest in our employees. We see them as people who can grow and become better versions of themselves. Soar, Our Leadership Development Program is a manifestation of our commitment.
We hold various workshops, seminars, and training to improve skills, mindsets, and even the health of our virtual assistants. As a business owner, I know how frustrating it is to hire someone and invest in them, only for them to walk out the door in a few months. Outsource Access sees our employees as real people meant to be invested in and when they feel that, the retention rate soars.
This allows us to mold our virtual assistants to be leaders in their own way, whether its mastery in certain tools, or in critical thinking. By fostering a culture of continuous learning and professional growth, we ensure that our virtual assistants don’t just complete tasks—they take ownership, innovate, and contribute meaningfully to your business.
Ready for the Future
At Outsource Access, we believe that the future of work isn’t about replacing people with AI—it’s about empowering people with AI. That’s why we’ve made it a priority to train our virtual assistants in cutting-edge AI tools, ensuring they can work smarter, faster, and more efficiently.
As I mentioned in the podcast, “We’ve been training all our staff on how to use these types of tools. Like how to use ChatGPT, how to use AI. So you take a really solid offshore staff, and you pair them with an AI tool and teach them how to use it, now it’s kind of like 1 + 1 = 4.”
By integrating AI into daily workflows, our team can enhance problem-solving, automate repetitive tasks, and deliver even greater value to the businesses we support. The result? A future-ready workforce that isn’t just keeping up with the times—but staying ahead of them.
Quality Over Quantity: The Key to Successful Outsourcing
At the end of the day, the secret to successful outsourcing is the same as traditional hiring—you need to find the best of the best. As I mentioned in the podcast, “We go through several thousand applicants a month in the Philippines to hire the top 1%—all four-year college degree individuals.”
There’s a world of difference between hiring someone eager to grow with your team versus someone just looking for a paycheck. The same holds true for outsourcing. The talent pool is vast, but finding top-tier professionals requires experience, precision, and a commitment to quality.
At Outsource Access, we’ve been sourcing elite talent for years, building a team of highly skilled professionals who aren’t just task-takers—they’re strategic assets. Whether you need operational support, specialized skills, or innovative problem-solvers, we ensure that you’re working with the best. Because when you invest in the right people, the impact on your business is exponential.
As I told Derek, “I’ve been an entrepreneur my entire life, building companies here based out of the United States and growing my last business. Ran into some challenges, and started really exploring the offshore world. This was back 10 years ago. Understanding it, where to find people, what they are capable of. Obviously there’s a cost-savings element but also just some amazing talent capability you can kind of tap into.”
