If you scored 20-25 points you definitely should hire a transcriptionist. You understand the benefits of doing so and what a transcriptionist can do for your business. Go for it!

If you scored 15-19 points you may want to hire a transcriptionist but you are still unsure of how such a simple thing will bring forth any business benefits. Give it a try!

If you scored 14 or fewer points hiring a transcriptionist may not be for you. It doesn’t mean you shouldn’t – it just means you need to take some time to consider it before making a final decision. Take your time!

Not every business person will benefit from hiring a transcriptionist and while some will agree that a transcriptionist is a business expense that can be skipped, there are those that understand how a transcriptionist can help them build their business with fresh content, printable material, etc. Each and every business person has their own individual needs so you will have to make your decision based on your needs.

Now that you’ve made your decision it’s time to put your plan into action and start looking for a transcriptionist that will meet your needs.
