4 ways an outside consultant can help your marketing
#1 No baggage
A lot of bad marketing programs began as pet projects. Of the
owner. Of the owner's son. Of an employee long since departed. Yet
these programs have outlived their usefulness. An outside consultant
can help you decide which projects should stay pet projects and
which could go.
#2 Crass industry learning
Any consultant worth his (or her) salt, works within
a variety of industries. And from these different
industries come ideas. New products. Fresh approaches.
#3 Be a driver
Lets face it, employees spend most of their day battling fires.
To push new initiatives forward many times, an outsider is needed.
There just don't seem to be enough hours in the day to get it all
done-yet it still must get done.
#4 See things from the customer's perspective
I make it a habit to add myself to any new client's database.
Sometimes I 'mystery shop' my clients to see what kind of service
I get. By doing these kinds of things, I'm careful to see my client
from a customer's point of view. The learning can be startling.
