How much of your business can you automate?
If you’re a small business owner, you probably wish you could automate every inch of your business, from interacting with clients down to marketing and bookkeeping. In short, you just wish you could sip your favorite wine on a recliner while your business runs itself. Given the heavy burden small business owners face daily, especially startups, desiring full business automation is understandable.
But what if that were possible? What if you could automate more of your business than you had always thought?
Technology and business automation
Technology opens up a world of opportunities for people and businesses owners alike. One of these is automation.
For small business owners and startup entrepreneurs who try to manage resources, handling almost every aspect of the company DIY is a norm. But few have realized that using automation and technology can help them get more done while saving time and costs.
Automation can help simplify all aspects of a business by automatically completing tasks that you or your employees would have otherwise handled. In essence, you would need fewer employees, and you wouldn’t have to stretch them. Of course, you already know that an in-house employee who handles bookkeeping will attract higher pay (plus bonuses, including their unproductive hours) than a bookkeeping software or third-party service provider.
However, research shows companies leveraging business automation enjoy an average cost reduction of 20%. Beat that!
What business processes can you automate?
Whether through software or outsourcing, you can fully automate any of the following:
- Lead capturing and follow-up
- Client management
- Assigning leads to representatives
- Assigning tasks
- Telephone answering
- Customer service
- Marketing
- Sales
- Event registration
- Data entry
- Bookkeeping
- Recruitment
- Invoicing
- Reminding customers about their shopping carts
And more! This list isn’t exhaustive.
And with rapid technological advancement, you will be able to automate many more business processes in the near future.
With business automation, your available employees can become more productive in their tasks since there is better focus. In short, 57% of organizations intend to use automation to boost employee productivity and performance. You don’t want to be left out.
