What is an OBM and why do you need one?

Ready to scale your business? Get the support you need from an experienced online business manager.

When you’re ready to scale your business, you’re likely to need two things – the time and space to think, and strategic support from people that have been there before.

An Online Business Manager can help free up your time by taking on important business tasks and can also provide strategic advice to help take your business to the next level.

Reclaim your time.

Receive valuable strategic support.?

Grow your business.?

Delegate tasks so you can focus on growth.

What you’ve achieved with your business is amazing. But it hasn’t come without a few 60-hour weeks where you’ve assumed the role of MD, customer support, marketing, IT and logistics manager.?

In a young business it can be useful to be so close to things and wear multiple hats. It helps you understand customers better, understand the market better, and make better reactive decisions.

But you can’t ‘do it all’ forever if you want to scale your business.

At some point you’ll need to take a step back and have the confidence to delegate so you can be the leader that your business needs.?

You might have concerns that apprentices, junior hires, or virtual assistants will not have the experience or abilities to manage some of the more business critical tasks.

This is why you should consider hiring an experienced online business manager.

A reliable, affordable ‘second in command’. Someone that you feel confident handing business critical tasks to while you take the time to plan and strategize.

Complement your skill set with tailored support?

Are you amazing at winning pitches, but struggle with implementing processes?

Perhaps you feel at home looking through Quickbooks, but feel lost when it comes to getting the most out of Facebook?

Do you struggle to make sense of your business analytics, and need some help understanding which marketing channels are working and which aren’t?

Maybe you miss having someone to provide a second opinion or bounce strategic ideas off? Or you want to grow your team and are struggling on where to start. If budget was unlimited, you could probably justify recruiting multiple specialist roles across your business.?

But if you’re like 99% of businesses and don’t have unlimited budget, a bespoke retainer package from an experienced Online Business Manager might be just the alternative, affordable solution you need.

With a diverse range of skills, an Online Business Manager can support you on different areas of your business as and when you need them.

Fill in the skills and knowledge gaps in your business, and work with a strategic partner who understands your vision, mission and values to help you scale your business smoothly.?

Tasks you can outsource

Here are just some of the tasks that an OBM could do! (though there are many more!)
