I meet a lot of web designers. In the last month I’ve probably talked with over 25 different web designers here in Phoenix. I’ve made it a practice to go out of my way and meet people who do what I do. One thing I’m interested in and usually ask is “How many projects do…

They are different: Hotels.com
Compared to Priceline.com, Expedia.com, and Orbitz.com, the thing I have noticed about Hotels.com is that they are working to differentiate themselves. See the tagline? That’s what they’re doing. They imply that through their web site you can compare hotels, amenities, and everything about a hotel. Everyone else is competing on price. It’s just neat that…

I definitely think that sales is most stressful part of my day. Further, I think it’s one of the things that sets me apart from everyone else. This is why I can’t see myself outsourcing that part of my company.
How is it/did it go for you?
I’d like to outsource most of my job and just do the design part of it.
I heard of a programmer who did that once. He still came in to work every day, but he had hired two developers in India and paid them with half of his salary. They did his work and he eventually got a second job and did the same thing. Pretty crazy way to get into offshore IT management!
I actually have a project now i have no interest in doing and am concidering doing this. so let us know how it went
I forgot to mention. The way the article described it, I don’t think he told his boss that he had outsourced his job.
Who’d do my timesheet? I hate doing my !@#$ timesheet!
It’s funny that you mention it as there was a Simpsons episode on the other night about outsourcing. Mr Burns was outsourcing to India and Homer had to go over to India to train them about running a nuclear power plant.
