Step four will cover one method of negotiating an outsourcing deal while step five will discuss another. For this section, we will go over what it takes in order for you to negotiate an outsourcing deal by yourself (or with the assistance of others in your company).
For the most part, a lot of businesses you are considering outsourcing to will simply offer you their services at a flat rate. However, there will likely come a time when you actually have to negotiate your contract if you are hoping to get the best deal for your business. If this is the case, you will need to know a number of important skills to help you deal with the process of negotiation.
The first thing you will need to know is how to properly read a contract. While it is possible for anyone to be able to make sense of business contracts, it is advisable that you have at least some background in contract law. After all, many deals are made or broken thanks to a well written or poorly written contract. And the last thing you want from your deal with an outsourcing business is a contract that will not properly protect the interests of your company.
Most of the time, the negotiating process will begin when you have reviewed all of the materials sent to you by the outsourcing business. At this time, you should consider taking a trip to the outsourcing business to see what their business climate is like and whether or not they would be a good candidate for your company. Check out their products, see what options they offer you, and go from there.
Many companies will present you with their standard contract. One which has been drafted and used by most, if not all, of the businesses they have dealt with prior to you. Take time to read the contract carefully, and consult a lawyer if there is anything written that you may not fully comprehend. At this point, you should also consider making a deal with the outsourcing company to institute a trial period where you will pay the company to outsource the business division in question for short period of time at an agreed to price. If the outsourcing company does not wish to grant you a trial period, consider choosing another company instead.
If the trial period goes smoothly and you are happy with the work the outsourcing company has provided you, you can go ahead and sign the contract should it be designed to favor both your company and your outsourcing business' company.
