At business development consultant we understand the problems and needs associated with managing and developing your business. You may feel that your organisation is too small or not in a financial position to employ a full time Sales Director or Marketing Director or someone to look after your business development function, but with business development consultant, you can have one !
Why Outsource your business development and Marketing function ?
Employing a marketing person internally, whether it be at Director, Manager or senior consultant level, can be an expensive acquisition. It is also a risk, as many cost-effective employees are inexperienced, whilst director level appointments are often versed in only one type of marketing activity, have little ‘hands on‘ experience or have only worked in one market sector. Internal Directors and business owners also tend to be very busy people with a need to concentrate on the day to day tasks of simply running the business.
It may also be the case that the right person for the job internally is engaged on another project, and you need some temporary project help.
Perhaps you have a project that has been on the planning or drawing board for some time, that now needs a ‘kick start’.
On a more general footing you may have some ideas for improving your business, but neither the time, nor resources available to implement your plans.
How our Director help service works. :
Business development consultant provides you with advanced outsourced business development solutions that are available to be used in a number of ways. We can give you the option to use completely flexible packages so that you can work with us on one or two marketing activities (eg a sales campaign, a company review, or a PR campaign) or your company can use one of us as your on business development director, sales director or marketing director either on a project based, on going or interim cover basis as required.
Much more effective than employing someone or engaging someone in house who may have other more important tasks to perform
Our outsourced Director / Consultant service is designed to offer small, growing and established businesses access to significant high-level skills, experience and expertise on a fixed project or ongoing basis, without the cost or risk associated with employing someone with the same level of expertise.
The comparable cost level (as a package) of employing a Sales or Marketing Director with the same expertise and knowledge would be a minimum of £70k per annum to any business. A substantial cost and risk for any business..
Business development consultant is able to work with any business which either has an existing business development or sales function or that requires the development of one, but where there is a need or desire for direct, external, advice and hands-on support.
Projects are agreed on a set scale of activity, ranging from a few days per month, to two or three days per week. Each project will depend upon the requirements of the business and the activity required to really deliver the help you need.
Projects can be short, medium or long term, again depending upon the needs of the business, with costs reflecting the level of activity and time commitment needed to deliver results.
We are happy to look at performance related payment schemes to further reduce the financial risk to the client when engaging our services.
