Plusses of Hiring The Help
Reduction of overhead or fixed costs. The Help generates savings because its presence cuts down overhead or fixed costs (office space, equipment, labor). This additional capital can be funneled back to the business.
Delegation of functions. Managers and businesses that do all operational functions (research, budgeting, marketing) are costs that are passed on to the customers. Delegating some of these to The Help will add to a business’ competitive edge.
Efficient staffing. Long term or project-based staff can be expensive (salaries, health insurance). With The Help at your service, costs will be confined to work rendered.
Compensation. Since The Help is associated with Elance, its clients are assured of transparency in all transactions. Employers put payments in escrow with Elance, to be released to the provider when work is satisfactory and delivered. Since the freelancer (in this case The Help) can see that payment is ready, anxiety of not getting paid is eliminated.
