Do You Need Marketing Help? Well, the People Selling You Marketing Services Are a Bit Biased, and Here’s Why
As business owners, we’ve been conditioned by marketers to feel like we need their services in order to grow our businesses. It’s a relentless barrage of messages telling us we need to rank on page one of Google, post regular social media updates, create video content, and so much more. But here's the truth: they are simply selling services.
So, how do you cut through the noise and leverage the right services, at the right time, in the right amounts, to achieve your business goals?
Well, just like a sports team doesn't just have the players decide their strategy, they hire a coach. Maybe you don't need more marketing services. Maybe you need a strategy.
The Problem with Service-Driven Marketing
Marketing service providers are excellent at what they do. Whether it's SEO, social media management, content creation, or PPC campaigns, they excel in their niche. But here's the catch: their primary goal is to sell you the services they offer.
They might convince you that you need to be on every social media platform, or that you must invest heavily in Google Ads. And while these services can be beneficial, they might not be what your business needs right now.
This is where many business owners get stuck. They invest in multiple services without a cohesive strategy, leading to disjointed efforts that don’t necessarily align with their overarching business goals.
The Role of a Chief Marketing Officer (CMO)
Think of a Chief Marketing Officer (CMO) as the coach of your business’s marketing team. A CMO doesn't just play the game—they design the playbook, train the team, and call the shots during the game. They understand the big picture and know how to coordinate various marketing efforts to achieve your business goals.
But here’s the challenge: hiring a full-time CMO can be expensive, often costing between $150,000 to $250,000 per year. For many businesses, this is a significant investment that they simply can't afford.
