Why Outsource?
In a nutshell – costs, expediency and experience are the drivers when considering outsourcing part of your business.
A great deal of very specific talent is needed to create content for documents, create graphics or complete a time sensitive proposal process. If your staff is insufficient in sheer numbers or are lacking in expertise to complete a project, Market-Plan can help.
Some Questions to Ask Yourself:
Does your business have the staff to complete the project on time – and in a cost effective manner?
Are they talented enough to do an effective job completing the project?
Does adding more staff solve the problem, or compound it?
If adding staff, then how much time will it take to bring an individual or a team up to speed to complete the project?
If it is a proposal or RFP response, will there be enough time?
How much will this temporary expertise cost?
These can be difficult questions to answer. We could almost draw a yes/no flowchart to get the answers. But the arrows would always point us in the same direction – outsourcing.
Let's assume for a moment that your business doesn't have the resources and/or the right people for the task, and that's why you've found your way to us.
First, adding staff means finding the correct candidate, or going to the best agency and hoping they have the correct candidate.
If the agency has the correct candidate, outsourcing through an agency means your business will pay a minimum contract time, and a premium cost for the talent. Alternatively, hiring directly means a loaded cost for the employee – and a long term commitment on your part to keep them on staff – you're still committed after the project is over.
