Studies show that your words account for only 7% of message you convey. The remaining 93% is non-verbal. 55% of communication is based on what people see and other 38% is transmitted through tone of voice. So think about it. In business setting, people can see what you are not saying. If your body language doesn’t match your words, you are wasting your time.

Eye contact is most obvious way you communicate. When you are looking at other person, you show interest. When you fail to make eye contact, you give impression that other person is of no importance. Maintain eye contact about 60% of time in order to look interested, but not aggressive.

Facial expression is another form of non-verbal communication. A smile sends a positive message and is appropriate in all but a life and death situation. Smiling adds warmth and an aura of confidence. Others will be more receptive if you remember to check your expression.

Your mouth gives clues, too, and not just when you are speaking. Mouth movements, such as pursing your lips or twisting them to one side, can indicate that you are thinking about what you are hearing or that you are holding something back.

The position of your head speaks to people. Keeping your head straight, which is not same as keeping your head on straight, will make you appear self-assured and authoritative. People will take you seriously. If you want to come across as friendly and open, tilt your head to one side.

Where you place your arms suggests how receptive you. Arms crossed or folded over your chest say that you have shut other people out and have no interest in them or what they are saying. This position can also say, “I don’t agree with you.” You might just be cold, but unless you shiver at same time, person in front of you may get wrong message.

Companies now consider outsourcing their functions: sales force, research and development, billing, procurement and even human resources.

This approach allows a company to concentrate on its core competency, also saving them cost of maintaining in-house hardware or software or staff.

·The opportunity to offer quality services to clients at a much lower rate than you would normally pay for in-house development.

SERVICES YOU CAN CONSIDER OUTSOURCING:

·Web-Designing, ·Software development ·E-commerce implementation ·Industry and software automation ·Web Promotion ·Research ·Accounting ·Copywriting ·Hosting

This can favors both parties.

1: THE FREELANCERS

You may be qualified in a certain domain to perform certain tasks, but as a one-man business you can do so much in handling market demands.

Let’s say for example you are a web designer (I chose this example at random, you may be qualified in any domain, which may include copywriting, accounting, programming, consultancy, research etc…)

Ok, let’s get back to initial example. Let’s say you are a web designer and you are very good at it.

You can sit in comfort of your home and use Internet to search for people who need your services. The internet has made this process very simple, but as a one man business there is a limit to number of jobs you can take on at one time without messing things up.

Since there are thousands of design contracts out there and you cannot say for sure which clients will choose to go with you on a project, you will need to bid on many job adverts to ensure that you get one to actually go with you.

I used to be a freelancer myself and I found out that in most cases I ended up with many contracts at a time, but because I didn’t have resources to handle all of them, I had to either turn them down or refer them to someone else.

But you don’t need to do that!

THE SOLUTION

There are people out there who will surely do your work for you at a cheaper rate than you expected and you can put them on a shortlist for future jobs you may have.

Say you win a contract to design a site for 500$ and you can't do it in a timely manner, you can find someone who will do same job at $300 or less.

All you need to do is to collect this contract for $500 and hand it over to designers who will do it for $300 and keep profit of $200. This $200 will serve as your reward for doing marketing and bringing in client.
