POV: You're paying someone to sit in an office chair while nothing gets done. π
In-house estimating is like bringing a butter knife to a gunfight:
π¨πΌ "We'll handle it in-house!"
π° *Hires salary* + *adds benefits* + *rents desk space* + *buys office coffee*
π *Charges $4,800 per project*
π
*Still somehow loses money*
Meanwhile, outsourcing is out here like:
π "Want us to handle it?"
πΈ *$1,600 - 3,000*
π *Done faster*
β *We buy our own coffee, thanks*
The best part? Outsourcing eliminates the fixed overhead prison. You don't pay for someone's salary whether they're drowning in work or scrolling LinkedIn at 2 PM - I see you.
It's called VARIABLE COSTS, baby. π
Basically: In-house = paying for potential. Outsourcing = paying for results.
So why are we still acting like keeping overhead bloat is a flex? π€
Let the experts handle it. Your team will thank you. Your accountant will REALLY thank you.
