Chief Marketing Consultant, Chris Consorte, said “Our independent research amongst our clients has shown that businesses don’t like uncertainty – especially in these economic times. This includes billing for sales and marketing consultation. This new model helps overcome that obstacle for new clients and small businesses who want to grow their business but are afraid of receiving a huge bill at the end of the project.”
With the economy still not in full-swing, demand for marketing consultants isn’t exactly high – but it’s sure to get there soon. Consorte went on to say, “Companies have been sitting on their wallets for a full two years now. The worst appears to be over – and when that happens, companies need to get aggressive in pushing their business before the competition does the same. Right now, sales & marketing is an opportunity for first-movers because they’ll have their audience’s full attention.”
Typical clients of marketing consulting services are used to being billed either an hourly rate or by the project. It remains to be seen how they’ll adapt to a starting monthly flat fee of $1,000. Consorte continued, “$1,000 monthly is a very realistic number – and clients get value and representation they may not have had previously. This gets new clients 15 hours of monthly marketing consultation from our team – for web development, telemarketing, graphic design, marketing strategy, direct marketing, Internet marketing or even just business consultation. For small companies, there’s no big bills to fear – and if they need more than 15 hours then that usually means they’re growing and they’re happy to pay for additional services.”
