ClientSpot Launches New Productivity eCourse for Businesses in the Cloud

SAN DIEGO - April 17, 2013 - PRLog -- With the popularity of global staffing agencies and online management tools, such as ClientSpot, more people are taking the plunge into entrepreneurship. But just because someone has managed a team in an office doesn’t mean she is prepared for the unique challenges of remote team management. That’s exactly why Dave Churchville, founder of ExtremePlanner Software, the parent company of ClientSpot project management software, decided to create this course to help other entrepreneurs make the most out of their outsourcing efforts.

Dave has been managing remote teams since 2004 and has gained a wealth of experience in that time. Many of his lessons have been learned through trial and error because such a guide did not exist for him. Today, he is passing on those lessons in an easy-to-follow eBook course with actionable items designed to help increase productivity and streamline the project management process. Although the ClientSpot software can play an integral role in the steps outlined in the course, it is not necessary to be a ClientSpot customer in order to participate in and benefit from this eCourse.

Dave says, “It’s easy to see the benefits of managing a virtual team. There’s an obvious cost savings when you don’t have to maintain a physical office, but people sometimes romanticize the idea and ignore any potential downfalls. Sure, there are huge benefits, but there are also some problems you’ll encounter with a remote team that you wouldn’t see if these people were physically in your building. It’s important to be prepared.”

As part of this newly-launched course offering, ClientSpot is showing people how to avoid the biggest mistakes when hiring remote contractors or employees. The course also covers important topics, such as collaborating effectively, trusting technology, being replaceable and the importance of creating a corporate culture in the cloud. The course was designed for small business owners who already understand the benefits of hiring a remote team. In fact, they may have already hired remote workers and are now running into some unexpected project management issues.
