 Hello there,

Would you agree that one of the biggest issue for SMEs is lack of time?   

For example as a Pie Maker you not only have to buy the ingredients for the cake, make the cake, find somewhere to sell the cakes, you also have to sell the cakes too.  After that you need to log the figures for your accountant and keep in touch with your clients so they buy more cake.  You also have to attract new clients to buy your cakes.  Perhaps you have to recuit people to help you and then you have to manage.  You also have to work out how you are going to grow the business and implement strategies to that effect.

 

Whew ... exhausting isn't it

 

Invariably you end up baking lots of pies because that's what you're good at but you end up with a lack of people to sell them to because you haven't been actively getting clients or working on your business. 

 

Sound familiar? 

You're not alone.  95% of businsses fail in their first year - 95% of those business then fail within the next 5 years.  That's usually down to lack of finance generally caused by a lack of sales coming into the company.

 

Marketing & Sales is a skill

I spent 7 years studying business studies and marketing (in university so just the theory was covered).  I then spent over 15 years mastering the basics so I can hand on heart tell you that this is a skill that takes time and patience to practice and get right. 

 

Do it yourself mentality - false economy

It's a full time job yet SME's think they can do it themselves usually with the false impression that it will save them money - obviously you and I both know that this is a false economy as they could be earning more money if they handed that task over to someone else.  More money in terms of more leads, more sales, and more ongoing clients.

“I know that half of my advertising budget is wasted, but I’m not sure which half” Lord Leverhulme

 

It makes sense then surely to outsource this task to people who are skilled in this job.  People who can get on and do what they need to do to support you without having to be micro managed.  Knowing that in doing so you will have piece of mind that you are working on your business not just in it.
