Tips on Utilizing Freelancers to Boost Sales

Tips on Utilizing Freelancers to Boost Sales

If you’re a business owner, you know how important your sales and marketing efforts are to your overall success. Dedicated marketing allows you to maintain customer engagement and create loyal relationships with your following, which are critical to strong sales figures. As an entrepreneur, outsourcing your sales and marketing to external professionals like an agency or freelancers can help you level up and boost your business profits.

Queen Bee Media is committed to helping people find greater professional success and personal fulfillment with dedicated coaching services. This guide explains how leveraging the skills of sales and marketing freelancers and agencies can help you reach your business goals.

Define your targets

If you want to meet — or better yet, surpass — your goals, you need to have a target in mind. Set defined marketing and sales goals in advance. This is also something you can share with potential hires, giving them an idea of your aims. Copper Chronicles explains how to set different types of marketing and sales targets, from financial to customer-based.

Determine where you need help

With your targets in mind, you will have a better idea of what kinds of experts you should look for. U.S. Chamber describes some jobs worth outsourcing, including content and social media marketing. Website-specific jobs, such as search engine optimization, web design, and web development, are also best delegated. Why? These are highly specialized fields requiring significant expertise.

Build your freelance sales and marketing team

Once you know what you’re looking for, it’s time to start the search for qualified freelancers. Twist offers a comprehensive how-to for remote hiring. Start by clearly defining the role. You can then find fitting professionals via online job boards.

For example, if you need to create an app for your business, you can find many mobile app developments with React Native providers. Consider criteria like cost and reviews as you narrow down candidates to a shortlist. In addition to reviewing resumes, ask applicants for a cover letter to get better insights into their personality. Finally, conduct interviews — via video, if needed — to find the right pro.

Establish a streamlined onboarding procedure for your freelancers

Once you’ve chosen your sales and marketing experts, take the time to onboard them. Learning Bank explains that failing to invest in onboarding can result in frustration and wasted efforts. Be clear about expectations and objectives, as well as practical issues like technologies you expect them to use, such as project management and chat tools.

Keep the lines of communication open at all times

One of the biggest challenges of working with freelancers and marketing agencies is communication. Since you won’t have direct access to your team on a regular basis, you want to ensure everybody is kept up to speed. Luckily, technology can help. Collaboration tools specifically for enhancing freelancer engagement include Slack, CloudApp, and Skype.

Assess your success and pivot as needed

Your sales and marketing goals and strategies should never be stagnant. Using the goals you’ve set previously, revisit your tactics and monitor your progress regularly. Accent Technologies provides a list of indicators that it’s time to revisit your sales and marketing strategies, such as an inability to analyze past performance or highly variable results.

A great sales and marketing team can drive business growth and profits. Follow these tips for putting together a skilled support group of freelancers and agency experts and prepare to watch your business thrive.

According to Hosting Tribunal

WordPress powers 39.6% of the internet in 2021, a growth of nearly 5% from 35% in 2020, and a 4% rise from the year before.
If you count only the CMS-built sites, then 64.1% of them are WordPress – 4% growth from 2020.
Over 400 million people visit WordPress sites each month.
In 2016, nearly 118 billion words were published on WordPress
But WordPress is not only for blogging – nearly 28% of all e-commerce goes through WooCommerce

How Blockchain Will Transform Digital Marketing

by Nick Rojas | Apr 7, 2018 | Digital Marketing, Latest Articles, Marketing

Nick Rojas

Just when you thought you were getting the hang of digital marketing, it feels like everybody around you has started talking about blockchain. Wait a second—isn’t blockchain the technology behind Bitcoin? How on earth does that factor into digital marketing? Quite heavily, as it turns out—or at least, that’s what most experts are predicting will soon be the case. If you’re confused, don’t worry: you aren’t alone. Many digital marketing professionals are as yet uncertain of how blockchain technology will impact their line of work. That’s why we’re here to explain what blockchain is and how it’s probably going to change the nature of your job. Read on, and learn everything you need to know so that you can stay one step ahead of the competition when the time comes.

First of All, What is Blockchain Anyway?

Let’s start with the basics for the uninitiated. Blockchain is a term that gets thrown around with regards to Bitcoin so often that some people might think they’re synonymous. Not so. Blockchain isn’t the same as Bitcoin—as mentioned previously, it’s the technology upon which Bitcoin (and most other cryptocurrencies) are based. Here’s how it works:

Blockchain is basically a way to record transactions digitally. On the basis of that fact alone, you might not think it’s so different from electronic banking or a credit card e-statement, but wait—there’s more. Unlike other forms of digital recordkeeping, blockchain technology does not keep information in a centralized location such as a database hosted on a server bank. Instead, blockchain creates multiple copies of the record whenever it is updated and distributes those copies to numerous devices on a worldwide network.

What’s the advantage there? Simple: it’s all about security. Information kept on a single server can be compromised if you know where that server is and how to hack it. However, with blockchain technology, any false record or fraudulent activity can be identified by comparing the compromised information with the other existing copies. Since these copies are all stored on different devices in a massive network, it’s practically impossible to get them all.

How Does Marketing Relate to All This?

Here’s the takeaway for digital marketers: because blockchain offers security by verifying transaction details, it’s important for the cryptocurrencies that use it to safeguard the personal data of their users. As such, most cryptos (Bitcoin included) offer partial anonymity: you might have to create a Bitcoin address to use Bitcoin, but you don’t actually have to register it with your legal name or where you live. Because of this, transactions that use blockchain technology are practically always anonymous. When consumers are buying products and paying for services anonymously, marketers can’t analyze their shopping behavior to improve campaigns.

Fortunately, there’s a simple solution: just buy personal data directly from your existing customers. Start an opt-in program where you offer rewards or direct cash compensation in exchange for information you can use to create accurate buyer profiles. Don’t worry about the higher costs associated with buying data directly from your consumers, either—after all, you’ll be getting information from people who are already enthusiastic about your business, so the results will be much more valuable than the generic data marketers currently get from social media platforms.

Understanding the power blockchain has to change digital marketing will help you stay effective when cryptocurrencies become a normal way to pay for goods and services. If you’re going to accept Bitcoin as a form of payment (and there are many reasons why you should consider doing so), learning how to collect marketing data differently will be an essential part of your company’s continued success.
