A B2B’s ability to grow and thrive in a changing environment depends on how quickly it can drive growth. Many marketing departments are stick to the status quo. They know what has always worked for them. They might have systems in place that enable them to efficiently get tasks done. Yet, many of them don’t have systems in place for driving rapid growth.
If this is what you need, you will likely need outside help. This is where a CMO for Hire, or Fractional CMO, comes in. Here’s why you should consider working with one:
Expert at Your Disposal
The talent pool for CMOs for hire is immense, which means that you have an expert at your disposal but you can also wait to hire one that is the perfect fit for your B2B. You need someone who has vast experience that encompasses a range of B2B companies, because then you know they have a proven track record of success for whatever you need.
You need to find one that has a lot of experience in the marketing field, and this includes high level activities like analyzing data, creating strategic plans, outsourcing work, and even implementing the work themselves. This is a powerful combination.
Master Strategist
The main skill that a CMO for hire needs to have is that he or she should be a proven, expert strategist. This is a skill that can’t be taught, and can only be learned with experience. The truth is, it’s the CMO that is responsible for this high-level task, and you need someone with strategic experience to drive growth. It is very difficult to drive growth unless the Fractional CMO is a proven strategist.
What if you get one that isn’t as good at strategy as you had hoped? Well, that is an error that you can easily correct by pivoting and finding a CMO that really can handle the job. If growth is your goal, strategy needs to be the focused.
Cost-Effective Choice
When it comes to driving growth, you want the money you spend to be efficient. Well, that’s why a Fractional CMO is a good idea. You approach them with your goal – that you want them to drive growth for your company – and then you pay for exactly what you need, nothing less, and nothing more. This is a lot different of a mindset than you will face if you had to hire a CMO in- house.
There is so much that needs to be accounted for when you hire someone in-house, since you have to pay for more than just their salary. You also need to pay them full time, even if they aren’t truly delivering full time work. A Fractional CMO can get the job done for you with less money. Essentially, you will be able to drive growth quickly and for a fraction of the cost.
When you work with a B2B Fractional CMO, you can know that you are aligning with a strategic expert who will drive growth for your company. This is the best approach to helping you achieve your goals.
