New to offshoring? Your first hire should be admin. 📅
Why? An admin person gets your inbox and your calendar under control first.

An admin hire can:
📧 Clean up your email
🗓️ Block out your time
✈️ Book flights and manage loyalty programs

Start with the easy wins, then build from there.

From an empty space to a fully operational offshore office.

Hiring offshore shouldn’t feel like a leap of faith.

Here’s what’s behind your team in Cebu:

•A proper office built for real work
•Secure infrastructure and a dedicated server room
•A team that collaborates, supports and grows together

It’s more than an office. It’s a team built to support your business.

At UpSource, we help Australian businesses build dedicated offshore teams, with the people, workspace and systems to back them up.

Zelko Maric tried other countries for offshore staff. It didn’t work. 🌏
The big reason? Time difference.

When your team is asleep, a five-second question becomes a one-day delay. The Philippines is only two hours behind Melbourne, so:
🕘 Your team works your hours
📩 Questions get answered the same day
🇵🇭 Strong English from day one

Quiet phone? Empty calendar? 📵📅
The best tradies don’t wait for work to dry up. They build their pipeline early.

When you’re on the tools all day, who’s following up old quotes, chasing missed callbacks and finding your next customer? 🛠️

A Lead Generation Specialist does that for you:

1️⃣ Finds prospects
2️⃣ Cold calls
3️⃣ Sends email outreach
4️⃣ Follows up on quotes and old enquiries
5️⃣ Qualifies leads
6️⃣ Books appointments straight into your calendar

You handle the trade. They keep the pipeline moving. ✅

What does a lead generation specialist do for a trade business?
They prospect, call, email, follow up, update your CRM and book qualified appointments, so you can focus on quoting, running the team and doing the job.

Who is this for?
Australian tradies and trade businesses: electricians, plumbers, builders, HVAC, landscapers, roofers, painters and more.

At UpSource, we help Australian businesses build dedicated offshore roles around what the business actually needs.

Don’t wait until the calendar is empty.

#1: The Sunday Night Ghost

Your offshore hire emails on Sunday night: “Thanks for the great ride.” Then they don’t show up on Monday. 😳
And you have no idea what client data they took with them.

A Melbourne accounting practice owner says he couldn’t imagine that risk in his own practice.

Hiring direct as an independent contractor can mean:
⚠️ No HR behind them
⚠️ No IT support
⚠️ No backup when they leave

A managed team keeps someone accountable.

Three tasks your senior staff should stop doing. 👇

❌ Chasing documents
❌ Updating spreadsheets
❌ Routine follow-ups

Important? Yes. Senior-level work? No.

Every hour your best people spend on admin is an hour they’re not spending on strategy, client relationships, and growth.

At UpSource, we help Australian businesses offload the routine work so your senior team can focus on what actually moves the business forward.

❓ QUICK ANSWERS
What is offshoring?
Hiring a dedicated team member in another country who works as part of your business.

What is the difference between outsourcing and offshoring?
Outsourcing means handing over a one-off task, like a website, and getting a finished result back. Offshoring means a dedicated team member who works for you every day.

What is the best first role to offshore?
Admin. An admin person can manage your inbox, your calendar and your day-to-day tasks, which gives you your time back.

Why do some offshore hires fail?
The guest says the most common reasons are no clear processes, confusing outsourcing with offshoring, and expecting one person to do every job.

What is a managed service?
A provider employs and supervises your offshore staff and handles HR, IT, equipment and the office.

When should you start?
The guest’s advice: there’s never a perfect time, so decide and start.
