I often work this way with our suppliers. We have a nice overview of our requirements and everything is recorded.
Equally often, we communicate with customers in this way when dealing with more complex cooperation. We also use this method of communication for file transfer. We don’t have to use external services and have everything stored safely in one place.
Of course, I always agree with my partner to use 1CLICK Tasks for communication.
Another example of use is our Adwords supplier Ogins. We communicate regularly about setting keywords. Ogins assigns the task to himself and lets us know via email about the task. It’s logical when he outsources the work to himself 🙂
In another company, they use external assignments for their interns and temps. They don’t need to have them all in 1CLICK. For people who need to outsource something only occasionally, they make requests this way.
It couldn’t be easier to assign people outside the company. Give it a try. If you don’t have 1CLICK use the 30 day demo.
