Need temporary help in a specific field?

I can't tell you how many times I have been backed up with customer service or needed some help with technology issues. If I didn't get someone quick to help my business would suffer. Part of the reason that I moved into an office was because I was using the temp agency a lot and if felt a little weird having an employee come to my home.

Temporary agencies can help you keep your business running without interruption. For example, Just last week I had a big project that I was working on which included updating a lot of clients' contact information. It was a day project and to hire someone to do a day job would have been a waste of time. I needed someone good at excel and that could type super fast. I called the temp agency and they had someone for me in about an hour. I trained my temp for about 15 minutes and then went back to selling.

Another time I was having a difficult time understanding some social media capabilities so I told my temp agency to have someone out here tomorrow to help me out. I spent 4 hours with another person, signed some paperwork to have him paid and then I was back to selling!

Temp agencies can cost a little more per hour but the people are usually specialized so much that their effeciencies are much better than if you did it on your own. A good rule of thumb is to always know what you are worth per hour and any task that is below your hourly wage should be delegated.
